I also use the ipod function to listen to economist. so i only carry one now. i think that's the major advantage to me. the organising bit is still not as good as Palm, but i'm making do. u might want to consider Palm Pre? @Rick: I used to have plenty of bits of paper. Now I have all these bits on my phone. ;) @wujimon: The virtual keyboard took a bit of getting used to, but now, I could type much faster than a physical one. and yes, I do have a mobile broadband, but so far, i’ve only been using 1/30th of the capacity (30 GB plan). i just check my emails/facebook and read the papers.

Wouldn't it be more straightforward to take a piece of paper and just make a cotton picking list? I admit to being a technology follower, even if I’m in the business.

Where's your blurb about this!?!! I'm actually in the market and thought about an iPhone, but now leaning more towards either a blackberry curve or blackberry bold due to not being fond of the virtual keyboard. Regarding internet blogging, I do all of my blogging from a blog client (windows live writer), so it's bare and distraction free. Security *can* be an issue, and while I am generally overly paranoid, the likelihood of someone wanting to *really* check out my private wordpress thoughts is probably quite low. I mean, who cares what I think about fish or cats, right? ;) What has helped me in terms of productivity and such is doing the big rocks first (bills, tasks, meditation, journaling, etc) before I succumb to the potential black whole of the internet. However, you're carrying one of the most alluring devices of offtrack searching in the palm of your hand ;) Are you forced to keep an active unlimited data plan? For me, this is more of a distraction as I have learned to compartmentalize my internet time. whoa, whoa, whoa.. iPhone? Where’s your blurb about this!?!!
