Awesome! I’ve been debating whether to get an Android. I still may  
not, but you’ve put the final nail in all the other smartphones’  
coffins.

Then again, so far I’ve had great success with an HP Pavilion running  
Windows Vista 64 bit, Netbeans 6.5 fully loaded edition, PostgreSQL  
and Skype over a headset. 🙂

I’ve never met a happy clam. In fact, most of them were pretty steamed.
