I think the time has come for me to jump the iPhone ship. The announcement of the
Google version of the Galaxy S4 at I/O was the clincher. But I am not 100% sold on the idea, mainly because the S4 is an ugly brute, but also because I fear for the apps and innovation I will miss. Help me out, specifically in finding a worthy replacement for my beloved
Mailbox app.

I'd like to take my smartphone (HTC Hero) with me when I'm cycling and use it as a trip computer. Problem: I'm nervous that I'll be taking it home in pieces. Are there any smartphone bike mounts that will secure my Hero to the bike as well as protect it in the event that I crash?

So, apparently
I need to get a smartphone. I'm not 100% sure that I really "need" to, but browsing the web on the tiny screen of my
current phone is not a fun experience. I'm overwhelmed by the options available and need some guidance on my next steps choosing a
phone and the network provider for me and my wife.

New Windows Mobile smartphone after years with Palm.
1. What are the best apps for a writer/teacher/trivia nut?
2. What is the best dictionary/thesaurus program? WordnetCE is not working, and the other choices I have found seem to lead back to it.
3. I like using Tasks on my Today screen, but the set-up I have either shrinks them to nothing or buries them. What is the best theme or plug-in? I am getting into GTD- mostly at the 'list everything I gotta do' stage

Can you help me decide between PDA's, Smartphones, Pocket PCs and the year 2008? I am looking most specifically for info on the Sony Clie PEG NX70V ... IPAQ 4350 ... and IPAQ 2215. But advice on any of this would be immensely helpful! I did search AskMeFi, but found only info for new equipment or old posts. I'm talking used equipment instead, older but able to keep up with current software stuff. (More inside)
