Below is a breakdown by year, along with some details on each device. You can see a graphical representation at my " Smartphones I've owned " board on Pinterest. Note: some of the info below may be inaccurate -- I just produced most of it from memory. Also, the only phone that I still currently own is the last one on the list. 2006 Treo 600 Palm OS Screen: 2.5" touchscreen CPU: 144mhz RAM: 32mb Samsung i500 Palm OS Screen:  touchscreen CPU: 66mhz RAM: ?

Over the last couple of weeks there have been protests in at least 20 countries sparked by the (very) amateur film trailer for, "The Innocence of Muslims" (amongst of things). As I have read updates about the spreading response to this film each morning over the last couple of weeks a deep sadness has developed within me. Initially I went through several levels of frustration with people that come from my part of the world, and those who do not, but I'm no longer trying to rationalize (for myself or anyone else) was has happened. Like I just said, after working through frustrations with both "sides" of this whole thing, I have simply (though there is nothing simple about it) become very sad.
