I understand your logic, but I think even for home users of computers
it's misplaced. With only a few exceptions I find home users of
computers on them more then most people are on their cell phones.

Hmm ... there's obviously a market for the iPod Touch. With the Android

apps (being developed for the phones) and come out with a cheaper iPod Touch
competitor. Otherwise, I'm hoping for the Touch prices to come donw

I do this with my Mac, and run Windows inside VirtualBox, but don't usually use my
husband's PCs. If I plan to install the hard drive in the computer, I'll run it bare using

Yes, you can boot from an external drive, but that's not what he's asking.
When I worked with classified information, I had computers which would boot

That's the difference between getting a product from a computer

I'm not a customer either, I wouldn't pay my cellular carrier for the
