      @ceruleanspark The iPad uses micro sims? Thought that was just the iPhone.

        @leonkfox Nope, the iPad takes them too. Uses the same weird-pop-out-with-a-paperclip sim slot and everything.

          @ceruleanspark Hm, well that's interesting. In an ideal world ai would love to have a tablet as well as a smartphone for using mobile internet, but I would rather not have to pay for 2 data plans, even if I can find a comfortable 7 inch one with great functionality.

            @leonkfox You could always tether your tablet to your smartphone. The only reason I'm not is because it kills the battery on the phone, and the only reason I even HAVE a tablet is to let me do smartphon-ey things without emptying the battery on the phone all the time.

              @ceruleanspark Yeah, it would be the same reason I would ever get a tablet, to save battery life on my phone, which became such a big issue I had to invest in an additional 2400mAh battery as well as the one htc provide with the Desire Z.

                @leonkfox I carry separate devices for everything though, so I figure I'm a deviant.

                    @leonkfox I carry: My iPad, my Palm Pre, A zune and a Kindle. Sometimes a netbook and my work blackberry too. Frequently portable consoles. Always my GB Micro. This is why I own so many shoulderbags. (saddlebags?)

                      @ceruleanspark Yeah, I can see why XD It'd be practically impossible to get bored with all of that stuff on you! Of course, you would need to be careful as you would be a walking gold mine for thieves.

                        @leonkfox I also carry an (illegal) aluminium personal defense baton. Also, the past two times someone has mugged me, I've just punched out and run the grapes off.

      @cptscoot Hey, I can't say anything as I am physically bound to take my smartphone with me wherever I go. :P
