Looking at my browsing history, you'll also find out the web sites I have visited (Including financial institution sites) I also use my Smartphone for business and personal email. Again, I don't want my wife or anyone else to find the emails from my mistress. Do you have an iPhone dedicated to iPeng?

Again, I'm going to assume that you use the iPhone for "other" functions other than just as a remote. Do you talk on the phone for prolonged periods of time? Do you get a lot of calls? I do. Talking on the phone drains the battery. In my case they're are not comparable... my Smartphone is "always on" and most likely on my person to receive/send calls, messages and emails. The SBC is in its cradle most of the time. My wife is going to use the controller and not bother me while I'm hiding in the bathroom talking, messaging or emailing my mistress. Maybe we have different philosophies as it relates to the use of cell phones. Maybe your cell phone is more of a communal device... my remote is communal... my Smartphone is not. -- tamanaco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tamanaco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54336 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
