Hilarious!
This is almost as funny as the real life events have been cruel. Fortunately, the real life events are also illegal, so hopefully, the guilty will be suitably punished.

The Gadgeteer falls in love
Very enthusiastic review of Audyssey's South of Market (SOMA) speaker dock at The Gadgeteer:
Removable storage options for iOS devices
Lack of removable storage is a disadvantage of iOS devices. The item below is primarily a review of the Kingston Wi-Drive, which is essentially a WiFi router with 16 or 32 GB of fixed storage. Also included are references to reviews of the AirStash & Seagate's GoFlex Satellite.
Hhg2Tech prefers a 3G WiFi router with removable storage, which provides the removable storage option with added 3G Internet access, at similar cost. Check before buying, as some 3G WiFi routers don't include the removable storage option.
