And why would a cell phone need a camera? Try buying one without. Even tho if you work in any sort of secure facility, you can not carry in a camera. Color screens and cameras are the tailfins of a 59 Chevy. Needed mostly to make you know that your old one is no longer stylish. I tend to keep audio gear a long time. I still have and use some Large Advents from the early 70s. They are no longer my main speakers but they are useful in my home theater setup. My new audio system is over 6 years old, the newest part of it is the SqueezeBox. The SlimDevices folks seem to be pretty good about adding real features that deliver benefit when they release newer models. Slimp3 to SqueezeBox to SqueezeBox/G to SqueezeBox 2 is a real progression. I'm not a fan of tailfins. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
