Discussion on Gizmodo.com re Pantech Breeze

Posted by John Morris at 2008-05-28 09:20
The Pantech Breeze is a respectable effort to address the needs and wants of the elderly and others who may be seeking just a simple phone and text messenger.

For a robust discussion of the need for such a device and possible ways to improve it, see the user postings to the news items on Gizmodo.com:

Gizmodo's news coverage of the Pantech Breeze seems snarky. But, it certainly generated some interesting and varied exchange by a number of thoughtful readers. A worthy read.
