When it comes to my gadgets particularly PDA's or smartphones, I mainly just get made fun of when I first jump in to a new device, but my significant other's usually appreciate them in the long run for a couple of reasons. I work in a busy sales office and can't take personal calls too often, so they like that they can send an e-mail to my device, and that I can respond on the road quickly. They appreciate when the device has a camera so I could take photos when they want to savor a moment, and they like that I can remember appointments, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. They don't appreciate though when the thing buzz's as often as it does with E-mails, and I am not the greatest at being so discreet. The pluses do outnumber the minus's, and I haven't really had it affect my relationships in any negative ways. As far as my reader goes, I would say it disrupts my time with my significant others as much as her reading paper books affect mine....it really dosen't. On the final note, my Ipod has definitely helped on the long drives together. I have a 60 Gig Ipod Video, and have almost 5000 songs with a large variety of music choices, so settling on music is pretty easy.
