Instead of "give" you back your data, you will have to download it off iTunes for $0.79 - $1.29/MB depending on content type.
This is MS's last chance to get it right. When WinMo5 came out in, it had great potential especially in the corporate world with ActiveSync. Unfortunatly, MS let the platform rot and got taken to the cleaners by Apple. Blackberry remains the defacto standard in the corporate world and Android is slowly gaining traction as a viable smartphone OS.

Beyond the lack of worthwhile updates, carriers were allowed to load down their devices with crapware. AT&T took the very good HTC Wizard and HTC TYTN/TYTN II and made them almost unusable out of the box. VZW is just as guilty of this with their HTC and UTStarcom phones. When wiped and flashed with the many excellent 3rd party ROMs, WinMo devices can hold their own. Unfortunatly, tinkering is not something 99.99% of the population does with their expensive new toy. Those with the time and knowledge to mod their phones found out WinMo devices can be very good media players, full of unrestricted apps, and highly customizable.

With that being said, I will stick with my iPhone for now but my HTC TYTN II/AT&T Tilt does come out every so often. The excellent physical keyboard is a godsend when I plan on sending lots of emails or SMS.
To modify what Homer Simpson did to get football tickets:

Waiter: Yay! Waited in line. All I needed to do was miss 9 days of work at Starbucks.
Passerby: You know, with the money you lost, you could have bought two no-commitment, unlocked phone on Ebay without contract extension
Waiter: In theory... yes.


Apple Guy: Sorry sold out
Waiter: DOH!
A mouse that size makes my hand cramp just looking it. Cue flood of bad memories involving puberty and the Victoria's Secret catalog (alright alright... it was the Sears catalog).
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
