I can't even...  Are you kidding me?  We do this once every 10 years, the results aren't used for months, and a phone jack has to be built-in in case they can't drive to a cell network...?<br><br>And lastly, isn't HTC foreign?  What happened to Motorola?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mj]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 3rd 2007 12:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on HTC's voice-free Census coming to Sprint?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/03/htcs-voice-free-census-coming-to-sprint/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/03/htcs-voice-free-census-coming-to-sprint/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well, what about for the places that don't have cell service?

Do you think they are trying to steal people's addresses?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[devildog820]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 3rd 2007 2:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on HTC's voice-free Census coming to Sprint?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/03/htcs-voice-free-census-coming-to-sprint/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/03/htcs-voice-free-census-coming-to-sprint/</guid><description><![CDATA[Harris Corporation is the company contracted to provided these for the US Government, I guess HTC manufactured them.<br><br><a href="http://www.govcomm.harris.com/solutions/marketindex/product.asp?source=alpha&product_id=458" rel="nofollow">http://www.govcomm.harris.com/solutions/marketindex/product.asp?source=alpha&product_id=458</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[aucobalt]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 3rd 2007 4:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on HTC's voice-free Census coming to Sprint?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/03/htcs-voice-free-census-coming-to-sprint/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/03/htcs-voice-free-census-coming-to-sprint/</guid><description><![CDATA[I almost said I can't believe the government would pay for a custom device that lacks voice service for the purpose of of census data collection, but this is the government.  What the hell would be wrong with using an off-the-shelf device that HAS voice but disable it at the network level.  Surely that has got to be cheaper than having HTC design some weird custom device that only the government is going to end up using.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 4th 2007 8:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on HTC's voice-free Census coming to Sprint?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/03/htcs-voice-free-census-coming-to-sprint/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/03/htcs-voice-free-census-coming-to-sprint/</guid><description><![CDATA[I am sooooo signing up to be a census worker.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Paula]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 4th 2007 1:46PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on HTC's voice-free Census coming to Sprint?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/03/htcs-voice-free-census-coming-to-sprint/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/03/htcs-voice-free-census-coming-to-sprint/</guid><description><![CDATA[It is kind of weird building a custom device for this as several have commented. I've applied to work as a census worker before and never was called to work. (years ago) Curiously I've never been included in the census as far as I know. Never had them come to my home (I live in town) or call etc. I've never even recived a questionare in the mail although I've seen ones that freinds have filled out. So if they have never contacted my household how do they count me and my family? Do they sometimes use other sources of data like the phone book and school records? Just currious.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[skonofvulcan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 5th 2007 1:47AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
