Jay Ashworth (jra () baylink com):
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.
