(Though I could guess a few others.) OK, fine, I'm outa the loop. But I'd still usually rather text than talk, to be honest. A few weeks ago I was thinking about getting a Samsung tablet with a texting account and letting my cel phone go. But as a contractor, there's still too many people who actually want to *speak* to me. Neanderthals. Crikey, I only knew 2 of those! (Though I could guess a few others.)

It's too much like talking.

Integrating Gmail into an android device is a cinch, in fact it's pretty much a requirement, so Gmail is delivered automatically to my phone. Not so with my Hotmail account. The thought of actually having to <em>go get</em> email seems so 20th century... I know…but you’re right.
