i have made it a point that all of my gadgets SHOULD have the mini-usb interface... and now this. i know this is just another attmept to milk this market for every buck it's worth. can't they just, instead, develop the current mini-usb further and come up with an even faster usb 3.0 and so on, for faster data transfer? and maybe find a way to increase the number of insertion cycles? (i haven't tried it yet, but maybe the humble no.2 pencil can help when you start losing the insertion connection) (btw, this thread is inevitably magnetic to phallic jokes... lol ^_^)

heck no. for a million dollars, i'd get a phone that has:

802.11/b/g wifi/bluetooth/IR/GPRS/EDGE/3G
10MP camera (sounds like a good round number)
hydrogen cell batteries (where you just put in water and presto!)
cram a 100GB harddrive in there
have 256MB video mem/2Gig RAM
quad dual core HT 3.5ghz processors (sounds like itanium specs... ^_^)

aaaahhhh nuf said... we'll never be contented ^_^
