Right, here's the story. I'm trying to justify buying an XDA to my girlfriend (read: boss) who holds the purse strings tightly.
I have tried the "but it's so cool" and "but I need one" arguments that would work instantly on fellow gadget fans but to no avail. I have, however, thought of a compelling argument, that might just bring my beloved round to my way of thinking.
Being the typical, hopeless man, requests such as "can you bring a loaf of bread home on your way back from work", spoken to me before I leave for home, seem to enter one ear and swiftly depart from the other. If it would be possible for tasks and appointments to be emailed to my outlook account on my XDA, with appropriate alarms (as it is possible in "grown up" outlook) so there would be no chance of me forgetting things as important as that, I could sell the idea to my better half on that point alone.
Please, please, please tell me it can be done! I neeeed one! :wink:
