I hate cables. They get tangled up and are a mess and an eyesore.
I've been finding "retractable" cables lately and buying them: Ethernet and phone cables so far. And on the PalmAddicts blog, I just found retractable ear buds. Have to get these for my iPod.
Sure wish that Bluetooth wireless (cable-reducing) tech was catching on here in the USA. It's hot in Europe; the newer Sony Clie's such as the TH-55 and the NX80 (which I just bought) ship with Bluetooth in Europe, but NOT HERE in the USA because it's not popular here. How dumb is that? How the hell can something catch on if you can't BUY it? Sony's marketdroids need a swift 2x4 upside the noggin! Yes some Sony and Palm models do have BlueTooth, but darn few (especially Sony ones). Hey Sony and Palm....TIME TO SHIP BLUETOOTH WITH ALL YOUR PDAs or at least your mid and high-end ones. No cables is a darn handy thing for PDAs.
Verizon (my cell phone provider) with about 36 million customers doesn't think that a few of their cell customers might want a bluetooth phones either...they don't sell any. Argh!
And Apple of course added built-in Bluetooth to the PowerBook models they shipped 2 months after I bought my latest 'Book. Sigh.
