  4. Napkin math: 2 HTC EVOs = $227/mo = $2724/yr = $5448 @ 2yr contract + $300/phone cost = ~$6000 for 2 phones for 2 yrs, or ~$4.10/day/phone. about 17 hours ago via TweetDeck
  5. http://twitpic.com/2keboy oddly appropriate. Are we having a 10k that I hadn't heard about? about 19 hours ago via Seesmic for Android

  12. @Mitchinator Depends on the level of writer. @arstechnica write really great teasers, so short is OK. OTOH, full b/c idk about the site. 5:08 AM Aug 31st via TweetDeck in reply to Mitchinator
  13. @kyleiwans The newer HTC phones all use a proprietary jack that is a malformed Type B mini-USB and can only go one way. Very lame. 9:40 PM Aug 30th via Seesmic for Android in reply to kyleiwans
  14. How do we still have cell phone cabling that can only be plugged in one side up? Are ambidextrous adapters somehow alien technology? 9:16 PM Aug 30th via Seesmic for Android
