I don't know how Apple TV works so the downside doesn't mean too much. I know it would be expensive because I own Mac stuff. Great advice about anything audio - go to a good audio store. They do try to temp you though with seemingly amazing low prices for the surround add-ons. And I just don't know why anyone would pay for Sirius, period! Sure, I might like to hear Dylan's show, but not enough to pay a monthly fee. There are too many monthly fees. I mean, what do I get for the monthly fee I pay to my cable company? I need high speed but I don't know most of the crap on most of the channels I pay so much for. Anyway, thanks for the advice and keep up the good work.

Even HTC (the biggest manufacturer of winmo devices that makes about 85-percent of all winmo phones), sees this and more recently started trying to hide the winmo interface with the home-screen plugins...Firms like Microsoft (and even Nokia with Symbian) really need to revamp their platforms as people continue to flock to BlackBerry and iPhone...it will be interesting to see what they come up with in the short-term, but I still personally don't think Winmo will change enough to make it a viable option these days. Great tips and round up, Ted. I definitely agree that everyone should avoid Windows Mobile, the OS is simply outdated and as powerful as it is, it just doesn’t work well enough as a phone.
