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.

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: http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/product/319850/review/cliq.html 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. r-- Sent from my Dreadnought using that gawdawful Thunderbird email program
