Hmm, most cell phones have some PDA features. Good luck with that.

Wonder what will happen when they lose one from a guest, that has all kinds of personal data on it.

"if you see it in the Sun, it must be so"

Interesting concept----IF we were living in the 1800's....LOL Kinda like the article about how some ppl wanted wi-fi to be restricted cause they are allergic to it. Evil board x had it posted on there. The article they linked said something about how it is today's technology and you cant step backwards. I couldnt find the thread with the link but found this article. http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/24/santa-fe-group-allergic-to-rf-wants-wifi-banned/
(guy in the pic is weird ) Read the comments on it, some stupid but others make ya think a bit.

Wow, that reminds me of a short story by Robert Heinlein about "broadcast" energy that was causing the main character "Waldo" to be sick.

Allergic to Wi Fi. This may be stupid but how on earth can somebody be allergic to Wi Fi?

I thought the same thing about PDA being the other kind of PDA and was wondering what was so bad about that! It's an interesting concept but not a practical one.

Heinlein wrote some great stuff. Waldo turned out to be great at everything.

Is it the UK equivalent of the onion?

Don't know the Onion. Here's some info on them, scroll down and read the bit about the Sun http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillsborough_disaster. DH was there and I was lucky to ger him back, he like other football fans there was busy helping rescue people, pulling bodies out and carrying then on advertising hoardings to help. Sorry to rant its an issue that is really close to my heart :(.

The Sun is pretty much the english equivalent of the New York Post (hell, if I'm not mistaken, they're both owned by Rupert Murdoch.)

The Onion is an Ivy League newspaper that can be thought of as a grown up version of MAD Magazine.
