In Need of a New Gadget

Lately, my technology has been failing me. It’s like a fatal flu season has swept through much of the tech around me. It started with a simple boom box, nothing special, radio/tape/cd. But suddenly, the CD player stopped working. What’s up with that?

The next to go was my Palm Pilot. This is my second Palm to die an early death, and so I’m not particularly eager to throw any more money these ways. But as I consider alternatives, I need to sort through so many options.

I’ve always found it to be stupid that I need to look up someone’s phone number, when the place I really need their number is ON MY PHONE! But I’m not sure I’ve found the phone I want yet either.

Being a Mac guy, it would be cool if my new gadget worked with iSync. I’m currently with Verizon Wireless, and so if I didn’t have to switch away from them, that would be a plus, although now that I can take my number with me, that may be less of an issue.

I dunno. If I can find a way to converge my cell phone and my pda into a single, Mac-friendly device, I guess that’s what I’m looking for. Any suggestions anyone?
