Do you have a smartphone? Blackberry? iPhone? Android?
Yes. Had all 3. Android is my only tool now. It's superb. I've used/supported and developed applications for all 3 platforms. Android has been the most pleasant by far.
Do you use it as a technical tool in your work, either for accessing devices or testing connectivity -- or something else?
Yes. All the time. For out of band connectivity at customer sites to various diagnostic applications on the phone.
If so, what kind of phone,
My Touch 3g from t-mobile. and what (if you don't mind letting on) are
your magic apps for this sort of work?
Built in browser on Froyo (often times need to search something when a network is down), mail client (k9mail). Also netSwissTool. Oh and of course I tether my phone.
(My motivation? Well, um, Lee, I'm looking at buying an HTC Thunderbolt, if everyone can get their thumbs out, and I want to get a feeling for the lanscape, if you'll pardon the pun. :-)
I keep meaning to pickup a cheap android tablet. Load ubuntu on it (android os is quite nice on a phone. larger system i would prefer to have ubuntu). (before you sneer at me, i've been using linux for almost 15 years, and want something that just works :) - -- Charles N Wyble (charles@knownelement.com) Systems craftsman for the stars http://www.knownelement.com Mobile: 626 539 4344 Office: 310 929 8793 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJNayE2AAoJEMvvG/TyLEAtV7oQAI8Ezh8ZUmB4HaAM28gyC4UV aD4KTMSxwDyAKXpGdWzgWMe1kqFcKCmswN4NDhpIkXMi0y1t03B3ZTdlOK+gUYiG i7ZKVD4SusZKJE5QzQpAHPvwQue5Hg1tciD3EeHZHbfg4AhIGF6QnYQFtOdsaPQO WyuTmJ4oNJYqOXCEVmZyEq+kbgl0KEZwhYlDV7kzHFkQSyooYs4+Opq1Evoi0Tbg 9+2vrNpEButSKld2Av2vG+nSXg4Um8qCnU/QepOmHiHcXxC/9KM54xsrABLC66d1 7pc4PncurON8sO6xd0Fzi3mzGHUeaVBqm3V01gT2INOrP0gGE+tYUajoLRmvSmii re0s94Wpaw8WLMYvzLSaOBSJVkFqYPWPyutuj+iYwiKHdqOJhXYXV4jB+tnFXDbB 5Z9U2+WfBpD5WUZrQHhAr/LVRfjE8KPyfFFCQ2bxx78qCQv0KwsLdSFPFnU9gpIj FpAe8V0GAi0nLaItw6sAIsgjgAA52UV0jGYZo6VT0UAKVOQJWe5c6Ofcm3eAZTBi +GAn1Jl8iELbeFkTD+UPNoBCgpz3YuelF4qdhK8mMhjV9Sx1T5PsTwW9nMmQFYpr oOrnOkqUsisz2AHKKg8CvjMeKXA7/od9N6l6Uu0XIlh9+8znbGai2Rs9FbbWquiX /fVRLQ0aSScb6xRF1DLJ =vOOX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
