I don't ride while listening to MP3s. It's dangerous. I like to hear traffic.
I don't know about you, but I use a single earpiece-mic (with button on mic) wire -- one ear. I then leave the other ear free for listening to traffic. Since I ride on the right side of the road (for those of us in the US), that earpiece goes in my right ear, leaving my left free to listen for traffic.
That still sounds dangerous to me. But hey, you're free to ride how you wish. I don't know why you're talking about it here.
I can listen to my MP3s (not only music, but personal notes I take when I work), hear incoming calls (over any MP3 playback), answer incoming calls (pauses MP3s playback), make calls with voice dialing, etc...
Good for you.
About the only thing I don't do on the Linux PC is record the voice names and associate them with contacts for voice dialing. Everything else -- calendaring, contacts, MP3 uploads/playlist editing, etc.... is done on the MP3.
Good for you.
As I said, don't make excuses, I'm not asking for them. If you make excuses, I might share my "to each his own." But I will _never_ assert it's "the right tool for the job." It's just what I want, and what works for me.
"don't make excuses, I'm not asking for them"????
What are you talking about? Are you off your rocker? Nevermind, don't answer that.
For my purposes a Pocket PC is the right tool for the right job, period, end of story. How can you tell me what the right tool is for what I need? You wonder why you have a reputation. Criminy.
