		<description><![CDATA[After six (sometimes) productive years, I abandoned the sinking ship that is BlackBerry last week. In it&#8217;s place, I upgraded to the &#8220;magical,&#8221; status-enhancing iPhone.
As early adopters discovered a few years ago, it&#8217;s more than a phone: it&#8217;s the greatest piece of personal technology ever invented. Phone, texter, navigator, iPod, mini TV, game console, digital [...]]]></description>

&#8230; than whipping your phone out at the alter. “Nothing’s official,” she said, “until it’s Facebook official!”
True story. Incredibly stupid. But true. The bride even had a pocket on her dress to hold her phone.
We now have the attention span of flies.

		<description><![CDATA[When used properly, I think iPhones are nifty devices. Like all Apple hardware, including my two Macs, they have an impressive interface. Still, iPhones are probably the most overstated status device of the decade. Case in point: Apple&#8217;s latest &#8220;Did you get my email?&#8221; commercial (shown), which attempts to embellish and sell three bad behaviors [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been an avid BlackBerry user since 2006. I think they&#8217;re great if you can moderate their use. (You don&#8217;t want to be the loser in the room who plays with their phone all night, right?) But I would also like to see some changes for the better. And becoming an iPhone is not one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
I got my first Blackberry, a pancake of a thing, back in January 2006. One replacement and 31 months later, I finally upgraded to a quasi outdated Blackberry Curve &#8212; I guess I&#8217;m what you call an apathetic technologist.
I&#8217;ve quickly grown fond of the 8320 and prefer it to the iPhone for the keyboard alone [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After four years, I canceled my Vonage line on Friday. I only used 20 minutes per month on average over the last year, so it made sense in my case to ditch the service, even though it works fine. Instead, I will rely solely on Blackberry and Skype for voice chat, as I have done [...]]]></description>
