Smartphones are cool...

OK now we're getting into cool territory if you ask me (a nerd at heart, I know). But when you can use your smartphone to monitor your marathon that's just plain cool.

I've been getting into the smartphone more and more lately and man I gotta admin that it's just plain cool what you can now do with it. There are some nice ones coming out soon. Keep up to date with everything smartphone related at smartphonethoughts.com Mobility is a big thing in the IT industry right now and being able to check your email or VPN into the network from a mobile phone and not a bigger Pocket PC is nice.

Bluetooth is catching on as well and more and more is coming out that is bluetooth aware. Bluetooth was invented to truly be a land line replacement unlike the current wi-fi standards out there.

One thing that a fellow IT consultant and myself have been discussing lately is using TMobile's $19.99 unlimited data plan for your bluetooth phone and getting a laptop bluetooth adapter or pocket PC that has bluetooth. Then you can use the TMobile phone as a modem for your Pocket PC or Laptop and have Internet just about anywhere.

Now that's cool stuff.
