Should we perhaps consider adding a dedicated board for mobile internet/phones/iPhone/iPad/Blackberry sort of things?
It would give folks somewhere obvious to post queries about phones instead of posting in the MP or Mac Hardware boards.

Possibly a general "gadgets" board? I have a DS query I might post there which doesn't fit anywhere else.

I agree, let's have "gadgets" forum for everything technical that doesn't belong in any other section we already have. This way we can avoid having technical threads in TMP e.g. no more ipads in TMP. That would make my day...

It would be nice to get rid of all of the iPod/iPhone/iPad stuff from the Mac board...

Or maybe all general things like that should go in the PC board because:

Fixed :)

Dongle in general, no need to associate it with a piece of common technology, dongles have loads of uses :)

Only a nerd would have combined 'Bluetooth' and 'dongle' in the first place though :oops:

And I still find 'Bluetooth' silly to this day :?
