Sometimes - days like today - I am amazed by technology. But sort of sadly amazed. Not to go into the long story but yesterday, against my better judgement, I bought a Droid phone, the Glaxy 3. Now, with all due respect to those who already have and love this phone, I knew going in that it was going to take some customization as it has a lot more bells and whistles and requires more patience than the iphone. But I spoke a salesperson who convinced me that transferring my music from itunes and the iphone was a two step process that wouldn't take more than 10 minutes. Not so much.
For those of you considering this move, you should know - and the blogosphere convinced me I'm not crazy - that this doesn't work without additional software, cost and hassles. I refer to the following as a few examples:

and there are others...
Anyway, you may be asking what this has to do with running. Well, only that I can't wait to go to get out the frustration of this. Also, makes you think how and why would ever spend so much time on this kind of stuff when we used to live without it so easily. I guess I'm just waxing nostalgic for that pay phone we used to have on the wall at my fraternity house. We waited, made our phone call and moved on....
