Do you have a smartphone? Blackberry? iPhone? Android?
Do you use it as a technical tool in your work, either for accessing devices or testing connectivity -- or something else?
If so, what kind of phone, and what (if you don't mind letting on) are your magic apps for this sort of work?
Nokia n900. The only apps I installed was a sudo and vpnc; the rest IIRC is in there already. With Nokia shoving its collecitve head into the dark rear end of Microsoft, I have few if any hopes for a successor from Esbo[0]. My guess would be a r00ted Androidish device next time around. -- Måns Nilsson primary/secondary/besserwisser/machina MN-1334-RIPE +46 705 989668 The FALAFEL SANDWICH lands on my HEAD and I become a VEGETARIAN ...
