Chris,
The original link (from Tom), starts by summing up and linking
to the CNET review. The CNET review also starts off with I'll admit
right off the bat that I've been a pretty big fan of the Zune.
I would say that the real question is Can the Zune HD catch up with
the iPod Touch
Several days recently while using ym I get a message that says ym is closing
because I've signed onto another device/computer. I've not signed onto another
device/computer and because I imagine? someone is trying to phish? me, I change
the p/w. Should I be concerned? And what should I do?
And his answer was no.
He freely admits it will never catch up to the Touch.
I think most everyone will agree Apple got a grand slam homer with
the touch. But that does not mean others are not playing ball and
doing well. Just not as well.

For maybe 20 years I've been putting Beltronics remote radar detectors
in my cars. Crutchfield used to sell them. I don't know if they still do.
But the receiver was mounted behind the car grill and a tiny unit is
mounted inside the car, preferably out of site. Nothing blocking the
view.
I think first you may have to tell us what 'ym' is. Yahoo Messenger?
If so, and your account has been hacked, you won't be able to change
the password. Have you searched in their help forums?

I don't use GPS. I use a compass and map--not while I'm driving,
usually. They don't talk, however some GPS units do, so you don't have

Does Verizon lock down GPS in their phones and force you to use their ten
dollar service if you want GPS? I know Verizon has a history of doing such
things, this will be a deal breaker if so, looks like sprint
I recognize that sentiment.

MY Q9C has GPS but I have to buy a card plug in to make what I have

Verizon is real good about dictating what you can and cannot do with

I saw msgs on the net about verizon having some phones with unlocked gps and
others with locked gps so it was only good with verizon navigator and an
extra ten bux a month.
Looks like my choices are going to be down to the android hero or pre on
sprint.
On Fri, Aug 7, 2009 at 9:27 AM, Rev.
If sprint works for you go for it.
The only reason I am hooked on Verizon is they are the only ones with
good coverage down here.
In some areas another carrier has as good or better coverage.
You must take that into account.

If you have a choice, get a better scanner with real drivers. HP has awful
drivers. If you can find a generic open source driver that works, use it.
That's funny. I heard that same retort almost verbatim from someone before,
a Mac person by the way. I'll take the Professional Mode scanner
I agree with you.
I have three HP's and two Epsons with scanners on them (All in ones)
