The voice recorder, child.

And anyone with a clue gets urls from emails anyway, even
if they are talking to the individual that is talking about it.

> i am very intrigued by this tool.


Its clearly too hard for someone as stupid as you.

Plenty of phones that do the phone function really well and the media player too.

Corse it is on the two separate devices alone.

And that is precisely what so many do right now. Not just two either,
most of they have a camera as well and many a pda etc etc etc too.

They dont have any choice on that, it doesnt have any physical buttons.

Yes it has, it doesnt have any physical buttons.

You can stick to anything you like, changes nothing.
