Try telling that to corporate america.
No one I know in IT will even consider allowing Android or iPhone anywhere near their Exchange servers. In the real world it is WinMo and BES since they are the only ones managable or secure in any meaningful way. My company has summarily dismissed someone found to connect his iPhone. If he lost the phone the data is essentially public and their remote wipe is a joke.
Reading comprehension FAIL!

the Japanese do everything they possibly can to avoid the number four (it's pronounced the same as the word for death, if you must know), the EOS 1D Mark V is the only plausible candidate
I had some asshat install one of these at work about 2 months ago. He was summarily dismissed for wasting IT resources. Hope he thought it was worth losing his stupid ass device and his job.
Part of the problem is that some OEMs push low quality machines which give the platform a bad name. HP had at least two models in recent years, both were extremely poor hardware quality. They had one decent model which they charged a hefty extra for, 2710p and its refresh the 2730. The price came down but now it's last generation hardware.
Dell had one model plagued by problems when they decided to depart from the Wacom digitizers in the reference design. The drivers crashed all the time rendering ink completely useless until you rebooted 3 for 4 times. Then they sat there and charged $2500 for a base model, anything approaching something worth a damn was pushing $4k. This priced it right out of the hands for any student without a trust fund.
The other problem is Best Buy and its ilk which sell the half assed models for hundreds of dollars markup over what HP, Gateway, et. al. were selling them for. The consumer sees $$$$$ and says f-that, without realizing the store is charging extorionary prices.

Microsoft isn't off the hook either. They never mention Onenote in any promotional materials, it's one of their best kept secrets. For the most part the platform in general is left to the OEMs to sort out.
We want to melt your brain into quivering goo. That is unless you use PS3, Boxee....
This is far from the complete listing of Best Buy stores. Richfield which is the flagship store and is usually highest grossing in the region isn't even listed. Neither are Burnsville, Mall of America, Apple Valley, or Edina.

It's hard to beleive they'd ship some to Willmar out in farm country rather than population centers. Hell they got the same amount as Eden Prairie which is one of the richest cities in the state.

So either this is bogus, someone doesn't know how to copy and paste for crap, or someone in corporate has no clue how to distribute product.
Wash day tomorrow? Nothing clean, right?
Nothing clean. Right.
Hey, I think this guy's a couple cans short of a six-pack.
Your clothes... give them to me, now.
F*** you, a**hole!

No VIN? Oh, yes it does. Open Vag-Com on any VW and it will be happy to give you the VIN for the car along with the serial number for any addressable module of the car. It worked fine on an '01 so anything newer would likely pull up the same if not more info.
Shop around and you can easily find it marked down by $100 with the IS lens kit.

XTi is the entry level dSLR now, XSi the high end of entry level before hitting the prosumer xxD or xD lines so the price is fine. Stay in P&S if cost is a huge factor, you really won't like the prices when you get into lens upgrades.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
