    There is a big learnming curve but now I use mine for everything. I use the vioce commands for everything, I never use the keyboard

    I look like the Dork talking to my wrist watch communicator LOL


    I have 2 phone numbers in mine, its synced to 8 email accounts, I admin 4 servers from it and I can VPN my desktop at home or work.

    All this took some time but its really made shit easy for me and saves me so much time I have time left over to get more stress LOL

    Cant wait for that chip in my brain, I am first in line for that

    Ray Kurzweil predicts this will happen around the year 2025. They already have ear implants and retinal implants. The neural configuration of these were easy to map out. The brain is a bit more complex but it is coming along. We will slowly morph into non biological beings. It starts with artifical knees, insulin pumps, hearts and such.

    I will take anything artificial they have even if mine is fine. I think I like technology and science too much

    I have too much German in me. I like what the folks at VW are doing. They turn the company Blackberries off a 1/2 hour after work ends and a 1/2 hour before it starts. I don't have any work emails come to my laptop nor do I take calls unless the place is on fire. When I leave work I'm done for the day, same with riding. When I ride I turn my phone off and may only check VM once or twice a weekend. Works for me.

    As for GPS, I love my maps, and really don't want a GPS on my bike. Now my wife is another story, she can get lost getting out of the driveway. Can you say new Garmin for Christmas.
    Hope for the best, but pack for the worst!

    Gooten morgen Herr Old Evo. I was in the city last night and the GPS don't work so well cuz of all the high rise buildings. I know most of them streets but I forget which ones are one way. Boston has lot of one way narrow streets. Its not a grid. I took one street last night. It was one way. It went out around curved back and left me near where I started.

    how did I ever get buy without all this fancy stuff anyway, well if it don't get easier, I will be finding out soon and I might just have a new 400.00 dollar paper wait for the shop !!!
    Shit man. I remember when most real bikers didn't even have a phone in their house. I can remember hen my uncle (now in his 80's) used to pay the pump jockey at the fillin station around the corner 25 cents to run around to the alley behind the shop and bang on his bedroom window when a call came in for him on the payphone by the light pole in front of the station.

    well you old guy's can appreciate this one , the key boards are so small that you have to have eye glass's on to see all the little symbols
    then with chubby fingers and a touch of arthritis it makes it dam near imposable to use the key boards cant someone built a phone that is friendly to the over 50 crowd

    Amen to that brother. I have a habbit of hitting the send key before I'm even done typing the message. I told everyone to piss off with your stupid text messages. If you text me you may get a response you may not. Dont hold your breath.
