I can't say I'm up with the current gadgets on all fronts, but I can say that the smartphone, (droid 1) was a bit intimidating, and hard to justify the expense, but well worth it for many reasons. Some of the other gadgets or smartphones with other features, well I would love to get an I-pod or what have you, that's kind of a nice thing for music, if you drive a lot or are in a cab quite a bit.
Technology is starting to pass me by, but I focus on things I can justify having.
My computer is always behind, I just wait til they give up the ghost or whatever, keep my files backed up on a stand alone hard drive, have the adapter to connect to the drive in the box, if I need to pull one of those, my last PC, had bad sectors in the drive, got those patched, pulled my files off, it showed signs of capacitors swelling up, about the end of the road for that one, that is as much as I need electronically.
Back to that smart phone, the apps you can get are incredible, but internet access is very handy, I can check the radar while in the field and avoid thunderstorms, I can pull up parts diagrams in my hand while working on something, the camera on it is awesome, 5MP I have 500 photos on the SD card, still plenty of room, its just a nice thing to have, though the monthly fee is a tad over 100 bucks, I use it all the time. The GPS is great for finding peoples houses when I get things for sale on craigslist. I don't text, know very little about facebook, twitter and all that, don't need it. I like the smart phone its an awesome tool to have in your pocket.

He farms around a hundred and fifty acres of arable land, in a village called Southam, located just outside Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
