OK..so I can’t have an iPhone<\/a> until January 2008 here in Australia, but I can be happy with what my Co-Pilot brought back with the shopping today.<\/p>\n

(Didya know the iPhone has no buttons at all…..?)<\/p>\n

(And if you turn the screen sideways, the display changes to landscape….?)<\/p>\n

(I’m happy with what I’ve got..I am…really..)<\/p>\n

Anyhow..I sent him out to get one of these:<\/p>\n

\"25seagate.JPG\"<\/p>\n

Seagate 2.5GB pocket hard drive<\/p>\n

Because I’d borrowed the 5GB version from a friend and I now need something bigger than my 2GB thumbdrive. I use my work laptop and home PC about 50\/50 and keep backing one up to the other and driving myself mad trying to find files.<\/p>\n

Anyhow..he told me that for about twice the price I could by one of these, like my friend’s one:<\/p>\n

Seagate 5GB pocket hard drive<\/p>\n

But mentioned that for the same price I could get this:<\/p>\n

\"60meghd.JPG\"<\/p>\n

It’s a teeny weeny 60 GB hard disk. It’s powered from the USB port, so no chunky power adaptor to cart around…just something a little bigger than my PDA.<\/p>\n

It’s mine now. I’m happy.<\/p>\n
