A while back I wrote about a moment of time when using a smartphone. (this could equally apply to any sort of "feature rich" ereader, sans mobile phone call.

A smartphone moment in time today....

Dragged out my Omnia for a bit of reading whilst waiting for the train home.

Fire up Mobipocket and get stuck into a Edgar Rice Burroughs omnibus gained free from Mobileread.

Five minutes of reading....enjoyable....

Minute 6 - SMS
Minute 7 - appointment reminder
Minute 11 - email notification pop-up
Minute 14 - incoming phone call from lady wife...

Now if I had one of my readers, I would STILL enjoying uninterrupted reading and not dismissing distracting pop-ups and pushing the answer call button (well I would have got the phone out for that call!)
