I've had a number of Thinkpads in the past and always found them well bolted together and best of all had a nipple.  Also the current tablet, the X41, gets my vote as it has a superb screen and seems pretty sturdy.  Spare a thought then as it seem Lenovo are accelerating the move to drop the IBM name and logo from the PC business it purchased from Big Blue less than two years ago. 

I hope for two, not make that three things.  They remain some of the best made laptops you can buy, you can still get them in black and it's nipples not touchpads.

I’ve been using an i-Mate K-Jam for a while now and I’ve been impressed, wonderful device and a pull out keyboard to boot.  But my job requires that I swap devices now and again (tough I know) so in the spirit of objectivity I’ve started using an Orange C600 and as Orange have already posted the AKU2 update I can easily get ‘push’ mail.  I even like the colour.

My C500 which was and still is a cracking device has been retired to the old phones home.

I just need Jason to part with the Samsung i320, not I suggest an easy task.

This blog has been dormant for a while but now I wrestled control from Steve and Martin it's time for it to rise Phoenix like from the ashes of Jason Langridge’s cast off phones and PDAs.

The focus will of course be devices running Windows Mobile but I will also sidetrack into other things Microsoft including my recently acquired Xbox 360 and other things that I things I think you might find interesting.

Feel free to drop me an email.
