I've been using an app lately called DIVIDE which allows this. You don't lock your phone, & it only wipes the data within the App. Meeting notifications pop up. Free, too, somehow.

Now if they could add some blackberry-style filters (where the email doesn't go to the device, but stays in my Inbox), I'd be ecstatic.

What you're looking for is software virtualization/sandboxing. Install it using one of these, and when you need to use the app turn it "on", then off when done. Prevents cruft and all the other issues you're complaining about. Trust me, same issues here.

I just went looking, and there are several options these days - when Windows 7 came out, I lost the ability to use my favorite (Altiris). Fortunately, it appears to be fixed and working with 7.

he also said that they missed Windows and constantly emailed him asking how to install Windows on it. He also said people frequently emailed him with other questions, like how to remove money from their country after their dear leader died, and maybe he could help.

Yes, clever, except that everyone knows the makers of Sriracha sauce sue anybody trying to use the name, even hot-sauce makers from the town of Si Racha. That's the very antithesis of open.

Not anymore. They discontinued it for new users in October(http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/19/t-mobile-drops-200mb-smartphone-data-plan/). Now, the minimum is $20. I'm buying a freedompop ($100, 500mb/month free) later today. Hopefully that'll work. Separate device, but hopefully still workable.

Where's a good primer on what it is, where to buy a good $20 SDR (and which to buy), and what it can be used for?

I got what I wanted for Christmas, early - proof that we can still have a flamewar about News for Nerds!

HARDWARE keyloggers (someone mentioned replacement keyboards with them built in, too)

Given some of the other comments in the thread, I'd be worried about keyloggers, unless (maybe "even if") you've got two-factor authentication going for your VPN.

For some reason, on some machines the ATH.exe (wifi sync) will take up 100% of one CPU. Happened on the old iTunes, happens on the new iTunes. https://discussions.apple.com/message/20463456?ac_cid=tw123456#20463456

Seriously - microwaves at a particular frequency... this is irradiation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irradiation), isn't it?

Honestly curious: how do you have multiple profiles ( I have one when on-call, one when I'm in the movies, one when off-call...and just using the 'silent' switch isn't enough), and device-level email filters? That's been the dealbreaker for me (plus the fact that the iphone mail tone wasn't enough to wake me), but if there's options, I'd love to know.

Yes to skip the trolling, but "multiple aspect ratios" only really came with ICS.

How about just a app that makes a phone call, but encrypts the transmission between the two phones? I'm sure it would have to be a jailbreak app because it's messing with the phone dialer, but it'd be nice.

Or the fact that Top Gear has successfully won lawsuits because people expect it to be entertainment and not real. It was jimmied. No idea how, no idea if he knew, but if _I_ were Top Gear I would've done whatever to make it more entertaining.
