Tired of fighting for outlet space...

I don't have a tablet, so I'm good there.

Even if I did have a tablet, I wouldn't be using it as my alarm clock on my nightstand.

I was thinking about futureproofing - you never know when you might get a tablet, and ones rated for a tablet will be built a touch heavier anyways.0

I don't either, but it's the most convenient spot for me to charge it, seeing as how I tend to like reading from it before going to sleep.

If I ever get a tablet, I'll charge it on my dresser. I have my Kindle for reading.

If you should ever come across an old Droid X2 that you can wipe to factory and run on wifi only, that would make a decent alarm clock. [/snark]

I'm not so sure that my X2 is capable of being turned on.

Unless through some miracle the bullet missed all of the vital electronics.

You laugh.  My original Android phone, a Motorola Droid 2, is still sitting on my nightstand in its little docking station.  It makes a perfectly nice little alarm clock / weather display.

I'd be happy to shoot yours, too, if you wish.

[BryanP]

Nah, I'm good.

Apparently I've missed a story along the way.

[K Frame]

I hated my Droid X2. Short story.

I just figured that Mike was doing remnance security.  It's amazingly hard to recover data from a chip smashed with a bullet.

Even harder with one that's been run up to white hot with an oxyacetylene torch, reshaped with a sledgehammer, then tossed in a lake.

Yeah, I'll never have that ex girlfriend's number to make a stupid mistake with again.

Yep.  Ditto with the X2.  Though it sometimes seems to have to really think to advance to the next minute.

Shut up and get back on the treadmill, monkey! My battery is running low!

I guffawed!
