After all, somebody has to point out the obvious!

Leaving things behind (for this weekend anyway)

We're going down to Maryland and Virginia for some end of the season roller coasting at Six Flags America. The hotel has free Wi-Fi, outlets, all that good stuff. Nice place to take a tablet actually.

So I'm taking two devices with me. And leaving the tablet at home. The two devices are my HP h6315 converged phone/PDA and my Audiovox SMT 5600 smartphone. Technically, I could take only the PDA phone, but I need to put the Audiovox through its paces anyway, it has a better camera, and I have a bunch of music and videos synced to it for some light travel entertainment.

Next week I'll get into why the tablet is getting a lot less of my attention lately, but for now, consider Josh's thoughts about why he's losing interest in his Tablet PC. And while it's corny and paraphrased from the first Matrix film, I'll leave you with this snippet:

Tablet boy: Do not try and invent unnatural usage scenarios. That's impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth.
User: What truth?
Tablet boy: There is no universal value add.
User: There is no universal value add?
Tablet boy: Then you'll see that it is not the marketer that can convince you to use ink, it is only yourself.

Have a good weekend!
