It hasn't hurt. I have left it with a potential customer and gone to shot
something and came back and got it. It can be helpful.

Well, that was one of the criteria. I don't want an Apple product. I know
all the "creative" people use 'em, but I never did much like doing what the
"sheeple" do.
I've seen you use yer iPod and it looks really kool. Has it helped ya sell
photos, ya think?
I'm looking into an "Android" phone that seems to combine the iPod Touch and
iPhone.
Thanks for checkin out the photos. If ya got any criticism at all, I'm
baring my soul to hear it. Here's what I did. Instead of using a function in
Paint Shop Pro to adjust the image brightness, dark areas, highlights, color
saturation and sharpness (Smart Photo Fix, which allows one to adjust all these
in a single function) I cropped and re-sized the image, set the brightness and
contrast manually, bumped the color saturation slightly, then added a high-pass
sharpness filter to add to the pop (if possible), then overlaid it with my
watermark. So if they're overly saturated, overly "sharpened" or any of
that...well, that's what I'm checkin on.
Thanx

Works real good to show samples of photos.
It maybe not what you want because it is not a phone, I suppose you could
go for the iphone.

I gotta get rid of my Samsung POS flip phone. It eats batteries and
it...well, it's not a good phone at all. No, it's an awful phone.
I've been thinking about getting a phone that I can use to show samples
of my photos, screen savers, slide shows, etc. I don't wanna buy an iPhone and
I won't buy another Samsung no matter what. So today I stopped at the T-mobile
store and looked at some Android-based phones. It looks like I might be able
to use one of those units. Actually, I'm looking at a Motorola Cliq:

I don't care about the camera and I know I'll have to pay for a full-time
web connection ($25/month) and I'll be locked into a 2 year contract with
T-mobile (I already am, so who cares?)
I think it can also be used as a cellular modem for my laptop when I'm at
the track or on the salt flats. That would let me get rid of that real
inconsistent cell modem I used last year. I had to reboot about every 2 hours
with it.
One nice thing about it is the qwerty keyboard, not only a touchscreen,
although it has that, too.
So. If ya got any feedback on that, I'd like to hear it.
