It seems incredibly stupid to me not to just use the web. Why limit it to people who just have a device of a certain OS? Oh right, making money.

Or, hospitals don't have the billions of dollars of profit at their disposal that financial companies do. I think this is a sad reflection of our society's priorities, not on hospitals' planning efforts.

Agreed. I had a Windows Mobile phone way back in the day and I trashed it for only two shortcomings:

1. The scroll bar on the contact list would get messed up, so that you could not scroll to the top anymore, so your top 5 contacts were inaccessible.
2. The phone would appear to have signal and be working properly, but it actually had fallen off the network.

Rebooting fixed both these issues in standard fashion :-)

Please read this post as sung, thanks.

I don't go to any particular news site, I go to aggregators like slashdot and google news. I read news from 10s of different sources a day and then perhaps 10s of different sources the next day. I don't think the subscription model works well for this usage pattern and I think my usage pattern is probably fairly common.

Every e-mail client I've used in recent times doesn't load images by default. I generally assume that I am being tracked if I choose to load the images.
