Apparently white is not a girl’s colour. At least that’s what my wife and daughter tell me. “Blue or Red would be better. This is just going to get dirty.” Hmm, since when did women think about practicalities?
Despite that, I’ve managed to convince my wife to take on the S7 as a personal mobile computer. She works in the health and fitness industry and is often out and about at customer premises using Windows-based measurement and analysis software so she’s agreed that it would actually be quite cool to turn up with this.
I’ll be setting her up with a 3G SIM card and all the software she needs and she’s promised to report back in early October.
I’ll still be doing a full review of the S7 but as I’ll be away in IDF next week, expect that in early October too. Hands-on and first impressions thoughts coming before the end of the week. Don’t forget that the three-J’s are also testing the S7. That’s JKK, Jenn and James

Good idea to get new input and feedback based on use in fields other than blogging as well! This should be interesting. There are some things in usability for instance that you can’t just assume and take for granted. Testing it for real in a much different environment and a different sensibilities could reveal something.
“Blue or Read” should be Red, I assume.

I rely on people like you! It’s amazing that anyone even bothers to read my terrible English.

Either your wife is more tolerant than mine, or you have some serious Ball’s. If I used the word pig (guinea or otherwise) in any way shape or form to describe my wife, I would not be long for this world.

Haha. I thought the expression was common although I can see where it might get twisted into quite the problem

might be there are too many pigs out there in the wild. creepy minds these.
and yes .. we in research use the term sometimes too in a not so friendly sense.
years ago the ecpression went like this: we found a chap (silly eager japanese : wolking, wolking a lot – not asking much)to go.
