The iPhone still has some nice things about it, but I refuse to see it as a "Jesus Phone", but rather a false prophet, in that it has some good characteristics, but is too limiting and incapable of providing enough solutions for my daily use. It is a great casual use phone, however, and if you can use such a kit without draining the battery at the end of the day, then more power to you.

Myself? I like being able to run Debian on my phone, change up and "cook" my own custom Android kit, and work the phone exactly (or near) to how I want it.

There are other great kits out there, as well, and I can't knock them either. : )

I've used some of the reviews of gadgets from the "Gadget Pr0n" segment to affect some of my purchases in the past, and they were usually spot on, and even used those analysis in past Gadget Pr0ns to see what it is that I might not like on demo kits that have come my way in one way or another.

Now, granted, alot of us miss the old ZD channel, and many of us miss TechTV, but even with the current iteration of Gadget Television, there is alot worth looking at in both AoTS and X-Play shows. If there were anything I'd get rid of, it's those stupid Cops and Cheaters shows that plague the screen half the time. Maybe I'd also ask for more variety in the "Movies that don't suck" column, and ask for a return of people like LaPorte for a new show in the vein of "Screen Savers" for us former TechTV watchers.

At least star wars featured people whining before force choking someone.
