Listen you young whippersnapper, I date back to when ADP and EDP were different and I learned both.

What the N900 really needs is a punched card reader.

With a high-resolution camera, an app to read punched cards should be quite feasible.

Well you could possibly run a punch card reader on a n8xx, there are serial punch card readers, and there is usb to serial cables, and the n8xx does usb host, and I think there is code in linux to deal with the reader. In theory you might be able to hook up a serial card punch as well.

LOL The mind boggles.

There is a open source system/370 emulator so you could actually create a tiny system/370 system, along with the punch card reader/writer. That would win you some kind of old school geek award ;)

iPhone or iTablet on T-mobile certainly qualifies as a potential game-changer.

But, if the iPhone does come aboard, T-mo users who have 3g can probably kiss their decent network speeds goodbye...

I wonder if I could pick up an IBM 052 card punch on eBay?

Boy Genius Report has a tipster who says that Project Black is new phones (including the N900) plus a $50/month unlimited data+voice plan. Now that's something I can get excited about: a T-Mob plan that's priced in line with the quality of their network.
