Phones loaded with junk to the point that they're almost unusable. I'm looking at a few devices that are just mind boggling, one's a Windows Mobile device that's just loaded with trial apps, java games (why on earth would you ship a java game on Windows Mobile device when you can deliver a good gaming experience). Worse, while a PC can be flattened and wipe pretty easily, there's no way to remove most of the stuff that's shipped on a phone. This is a disturbing trend and it's not going to take long for consumers to rebel quickly if this keeps up.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/3784BF99-B138-47A6-9E9C-2C58E622B872/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
