darkemeraldsI think I'm in love.
He's called Touch Pro--which sounds like someone Jayne might hire at Miz Nandi's establishment, doesn't it?--and he just came out this week. He does everything my current companion device has done for me all this time--accompany me everywhere, connect me to the internet, play me music and movies, run my life, read to me, carry my books, and of course let me talk to all my friends--AND he is brighter, more powerful and much more touchable. And he's got GPS.
He is, consequently, stupidly expensive.
But my current beloved is showing signs of age--he'll be three on my next birthday, and that's, like, sixty in Device Years. He's looking kind of rotund compared to Touch Pro. No disloyalty--he's been an amazing companion. But I can tell he won't be with me much longer. And his performance is beginning to lag a bit.
