Thumbs down for PDAs

Roger Ebert has a commentary on <A HREF="http://www.zdnet.com/yil/stories/features/0,9539,2620799,00.html?chkpt=zdnnp1ms">ZDNet</A> criticizing the use of cell phones and handheld devices, saying we're so busy worshiping devices, we haven't even noticed that they're ruling our lives.
