I never said the $5 gadget to be superior than the $600 one (although in this case, it is better), nor did I suggest to buy all the individual replacements.

Please keep your imagination in check
I learned that lesson many years ago!

I used to have a Palm T3 PDA - great for calander, software and general geekiness.

Except for the alarm clock. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't and one day slept in for work. My employer was not happy.

Moral of the story "For the sake of keeping your job spend $5 on an alarm clock....."

-$100 phone which provides all phone functions
-$300 on an Internet communications device

and not on a single device which provides all the above
and don't get self-rightous you cheapskate!"
