    Which device do you use?

    After reading other threads about various mobile devices, I am curious how many of us use what mobile devices to access this Clan (community, forum, whatever you prefer to call XMTS). I suppose this information could be useful to Admin for future updates/upgrades to the forum, but as a technology junkie, I am just curious. Currently I use an iPhone, but have used a Windows Mobile Device, and a basic WAP browser. Please respond with what you currently use.

    So, do I get to change my kilt count when I have saved half the money to buy my next or when I get all the money together and actually order it? Either way, I'm getting close to 1.5!

    I'll sometimes use my husband's iPod Touch to check the forum out. I never reply using it though. I mainly just read a few threads and any new PM's. We're both wanting iPhones. I would probably use it the same way... just mainly a quick look at a couple threads (saving the rest for when I'm home and can use my computer), and maybe occasionally replying to a PM. I mostly use my laptop -- anything smaller is just not as handy for me when it comes to things like boards like this.

    I recently got a Palm Pre which is very handy for my intended purposes -- finding businesses when I'm already away from home, navigation function, light Web usage. I find that I can't post or PM at either of the kilt forums that I use -- not sure why, but I haven't taken the time to figure it out yet. Each accepts my log-in, shows me "new posts" and PMs, but kicks me out when I attempt to post or PM.

    The size of keyboard makes it unlikely that I'd do any major posting, but it would be handy (for example, if I see something for sale and want to jump on it!). I suppose once it prevents me from getting a desired object, I'll find the time to figure out the problem LOL

    Samsung E900 - because it has a 3 megapixel camera - no other reason.

    I got an iTouch for Christmas ans that's what I use to check the forum when I'm not at a PC.

    Some Guinness spilt on the barroom floor.
    When the pub was closed for the night, a wee brown mouse crawled out of his hole and sat in the pale moonlight.
    He lapped the foamy froth from off the floor and back on his haunches he sat,
    and all night long you could hear him roar "Bring on the Goddamn cat!"

    I knew I had forgotten something. I should have added Blackberry to the poll. I have used them before, but I was not on XMTS then.

    I'm currently "Black-buried" (spelling intentional), but I touch base with XMTS when I'm not on the go... at home or during a lull from my desk at work. When I'm in "mobile mode" I'm generally too busy to check in.

    note: I'd have an IPhone but that network simply does not work inside my theatre, making it a non-starter.

    I would use my Crackberry. But I haven't used it yet for X-marks, only business e-mail.
