hmmm kerching comes to mind, will run the "business need" proposal past my accountant this evening

It was in one of those business tips newsletters that I get occasionally for free. The recommendation is to make a note of the business things that you download as well.

I have one that has a voice recorder on it too - so that I can take it to meetings and record what is said rather than having to concentrate on the conversation and taking notes at the same time. Also, much easier to have user requirements gathering exercises when it's a chat rather than something where someone is taking notes through the whole thing.

Are bluetooth headphones heavier than normal, or are they as good?

Fancy, but £90 for a 1GB player seems a tad expensive. Mind you, there were lots of price cuts after Apple announced the latest range of iPods, so it may be cheaper now.

They're just as good...and they're the only ones that stay in my ear as they are ear buds.

Yes.

And they've taken the word gullible out of the dictionary.

No way! For real? The gits.

I get no hits in Amazon for that - and nothing from Google

sorry Samsung YP-T9 - 4Gb
with Sony DRBT10CX Bluetooth Stereo Headphones

Surely you mean a portable solid state device, which you can use on the move, while listening to podcasts to help your business, e.g. the ones that HMRC have made available.

If that's what you mean, and the personal use is incidental, then there could be a valid expense claim for your business there.

I've got a Samsung TP-Y9 which is 1GB with an armband and it has a bluetooth facility so you can use bluetooth earphones - £90 from Amazon

It can also store video clips, pictures, text and also has an FM tuner so you can listen to the radio

But was it funny?

Well, there was certainly some giggling going on.

But that was more the feather boa tickling me in all sorts of places...

He's not kidding - we had a "business meeting" at a hotel near the airport and had to change it 'cos they wouldn't let him in! Gutted.
