Do you bring your Clie to bed?

[fssia]

I saw someone mentioning it in the "You know your relationship with your Clie is out of control when... " thread, so I tot why dun we make a physical count of how many do & how many don't. Ok, so I go first! :D

[lostether]

Of course I do, sometimes my Clie even reads me a bedtime story to put me to sleep ;)

You gotta love Audiobooks!!

[*YellowRose*]

I haven't tried audiobooks yet . . . but I DO use my Clie to read in bed every night . . . :D

[halo_gps]

Every night, I bought an extra battery charger so I could charge it in the bed. Normally I use it 2 to 3 hours every night.

[fssia]

halo_gps, is the charger right next to u? If so, I remember reading somewhere that it is not good for your health or something like that. How I wish I could have my charger next to my bed...sigh.

[halo_gps]

I use a travel charger, so it sits on the floor and the cable goes up to my Clie.

I tend to get asleep while reading so it's really important to me to have the charger. The PDA Is a basic tool for me and I need it every morning for 4 hours.
Sometimes I'm afraid of breaking something with all the cables that go thru my bed or next to it.

I have a unlimited cellphone account, and I use it a lot, maybe 60 minutes per day, so I don't know what's worst.

[michael1960]

Do you bring your Clie to bed? Yes, I do! But mostly when I travel. I listen to some music or audio books before I sleep. In the morning my Clie wakes me up. I also use it as a torchlight during the night. Which is especially useful when you sleep in places you are not used to. :)

[leo_clie]

BigClock is my only alarm Clock. And works for the last years perfect.

[Ni+Mh]

I'd use mine to backup me stuff before I go to bed ;) Just in case if anything were to happen to my data the next day

[halo_gps]

wow 7 votes 7 yes, so far looks like we the PDA comunity lie always with our other important part next to us.

[SamuraiCatJB]

never, I wouldn't want my clie to be scared away....

[RunningWoman]

Absolutely. Like halo_gps, I got an extra travel charger to have next to the bed.

My name is Kim, and I'm an addict ....

[Gadgeteer_7]

I like to read ebooks at night and surf a little. Don't use the audio stuff don't need them when you have the 'rockin iPod'.

[ClieKun]

I do, I read right before I sleep. But I sleep on a futon :D

[Atomic Chicken]

What???!!!!!

I read the title of this thread and I was SCANDALIZED !!!!!
Unbelievable..... This is just TOO MUCH!!!!!

Of COURSE I take my Clie to bed with me - how else would I be able to read books all night with the lights out :D

Best wishes,
Bawko

[rolando]

I bring my wife to bed...

I like taking mine to bed, it help relax me before i roll off to sleep.....How long does it take sleep after you done with your clie?

[rldunn]

I bring mine to bed every night. It's my alarm clock, plus I surf, check email, or read on it before I go to sleep and check email and sometimes surf in the morning when I first wake up.

[kjbad]

Of course I bring my Clie to bed-I couldn't turn the TV off without Noviiremote!!!
:D

[winexprt]

I don't bring it IN bed per se. I have it next to my head on a table. My Clie, in one form or another has been my alarm clock for years. BIG clock rules. It is REALLY loud on my NX80 and gets me up 95% of the time. The other 5% is when I've been out drinking and nothing short of an earthquake will rouse me. (I've slept through those too, in Cali!!)

[Fez]

Yep, I play Bejeweled every night to put me to sleep. Sometimes I listen to music also.

[LupeValenz]

Of course I do! Who wouldn't bring their sexy lil partner to bed with them? :D. Though my UX has taken to the couch now, doesn't like my new relationshop with the TH, poor thing. :p

[ShellyBelly]

Of course I do!

Have to clean up my schedule, read some ebooks or the news on Avantgo, play a game or two or get the numbers for someone I haven't talked to in a while so they don't think I've totally forgotten them ( I am NOT a phone person).

Plus, it's usually low on juice by then and I use my old T615 cradle to juice her up (NX70V):)

[ClieKun]

ehheheheheh my wife gets alittle upset when I use the clie more then i talk her . :D

[fssia]

Wow! So I see a lot of ppl do actually have their Clies next to them when they go to sleep. Yeah I also use mine as a Alarm Clock now...I need two: Big Clock and WA Clock, lol! :o

I used to read Plucker ebooks that I made myself or play Bejeweled or Cubis or whatever kind of games before I sleep. BUT I soon realised that sometimes I get too addicted to the games (esp. Space Trader) or ebook, I don actually sleep the whole night! So I dun read before my sleep anymore and I try not to get too carry away by the games I play before sleep...since I can alwez pause them and con't later. :D

ClieKun, as u can see, I am a light sleeper, so I have to cultivate healthy before sleep and sleeping habits...no reading or any activity that make my brain too alert. I think that would inhibit the alpha wave that puts us to sleep. ;)

[ClieKun]

Morning fssia...........
How light? do you float during the night? :D

[fssia]

Morning ClieKun,

Oh...so light that any lil' noise will make me fly, lol! :D

[ClieKun]

[ebook junky]

I am glad I am not the only one with an extra charger by the bed.

[penjones]

Yes I do. I usually play a few games and jot down any closing thoughts for the day. Also, I like to have it near by during the night in case I have a sudden brainstorm.

[ClieKun]

oh thats intersting..never thought about that.......

[Punky]

Sometimes you guys are funny and cute, in addition to being most helpful! ;)

As you can see by my number of posts in two years I don't write much but I always lurk.

But- of course I take my beautiful brand new little TH55 to bed with me! My hubbie is delighted with no light on... Insomniacs unite! And my oh my I can't rave enough about the battery life, the new jog dial, the screen, etc., etc. Made for ebook reading, it is.

[ClieKun]

Cute? :D oh wow man :D

[Punky]

:D Thought cute would get a reaction!

[ClieKun]

Sure it would :D:D

[kp*]

Yes, mostly because I use it as an alarm, and so that if I suddenly remember anything I need to do, I can write it down instead of assuming I'll remember in the morning.

Sometimes I get asleep while reading:eek: so I try to be very careful, take the clie to bed is one thing, sleep over it:eek: is other:D .

[halo_gps]

If you ask me what I take to bed I would answer, the Clie always:D , a female, well depends...:D

[PBM808]

My obsolete NX60 functions solely as my alarm clock on my nightstand. It is also used for playing Snails because my NZ90 has smartlithium junk that screws up.

[fssia]

Wow! A NX60 solely as alarm clock and to play games! Now imagine if I have one Clie on the bedside table as an alarm clock, reading and play games...then another one on the move...that's a kewl idea! A good excuse for me to go out & buy that TH55 now, lol! :D

Yeah we dun wanna sleep on our Clies...they're too delicate. If we've very bad sleeping habits then we may even kick the Clies out of beds and on to the floor...no problem for ClieKun since he sleeps on futon. ;)

[halo_gps]

Before taking the Clie to bed I used to take the laptop, It's kinda hard and expensive to get good books in China.
I started reading e-books 2 or 3 years ago and I would use my old Cassiopea E-10, then one day I slept over the poor thing and the screen cracked, so I started using the laptop, cause with it I'll always remembered to put it down, it was really heavy:D
Now I'm just looking for an excuse to upgrade:eek: :eek: :eek:


It's siesta time:D

[Steele]

Yeah, I'm a laptop man myself. Goes to bed with me everynight, along with the clie getting charged and synced. I get a headache trying to read anything off of the little clie screen however. Until PDA screens get a little bigger, I'm afraid they won't be a true multifunction device for me. I've seen people type notes into them rarely - all the students I know use laptops for most things, use PDA for PIM functions.

Why would anyone buy an IPod if they already owned a clie???? I'm baffled. It's a complete relief to me that i'm no longer tempted. I can hold hours of music on my 256MB CF - why would I want another 15 GB minus 256 MB worth? I''m baffled, but maybe some people have huge music collections? They must to need a 15 or 20 GB player. Or is it the cool factor?

[fssia]

Steele, some ppl dun use their Clies for music. I rarely listen to mp3 on my Clie because it drains the battery like nobody's business. I guess another reason is I usually keep my Clie on the desk or in the bag...a bit hard to listen to music on the go that way. :o

[Steele]

Hmmm. MP3 on NZ90 doesn't seem to affect battery life much. At least not compared to camera! :) But I hear what you are saying. I just don't like having to carry around so many "toys" - I'm very big into integrated - even if it means sacrificing funtionality. The sound quality is so good from my clie though - I've tried out the iPod - it was good but kind of heavy for an MP3 player I thought.

15Gb???? Still seems like overkill but then so did 640K memory at one time.

Strange, I can play about 5h of mp3 until the battery goes down to 30%, 30minutes of listening have no impact in the battery of my SJ33

[anniebluesky]

Usually, no. But, today I'm sick and in bed with my Clie, reading the forums and getting ready to play Aces High.

[ithinkinink]

Oh yes, Clie...The Ultimate Sick Bed Activity Center!

[kluntz]

I bring my clie to bed with me sometimes.
It depends on the re-charging needed.
I have only 1 charger at home, so if it needs re-charging.
Also if I need re-charging/sleep, I just let it stay in its cradle.
It is great to be able to use it at night in the dark though.
The travel charger sounds like a great idea.

[anniebluesky]

LOL, that is so funny, but true :)

[gklinger]

I always bring my Clie to bed. Then one night my girlfriend got fed up and said it was the Clie or her.

Oh well, I'm going to miss her.

[kyvlle]

I used to sleep on a bed. But now with my NX70, a Dell laptop and other toys I need more space. So I just put the mattress on the floor and sleep on that. Don't have to worry about my toys dropping a few feet to the floor anymore :)

I prefer not to use the NX70 for music though. Running Audio Player makes the Clie sluggish. I'm afraid to overclock it as it runs rather warm. Anyway I do have a Sony MS9 Network Walkman for this task. [Doesn't it seem Sony will create irresistable toys that bites you back? The MS9 works great IF you use MagicGate & ATRAC3.]

[kyvlle]

Hmmph~! The cookie monster again....

The above was me.

[timage]

If I leave my clie in the charger...it makes a perfect night light!

[coolride]

I use my Clie as an alarm clock as well. Also backup my data just before I go to bed and read up on some things as well.

i've slept on my nx60 many a times. it's a durable little thing. the drop from bed to floor is about 3 feet but it's onto carpet (or my stack of books and stuff) next to my bed.

it usually ends up being in my bed because i hear the alarm go off to wake me up (is use the "wind" soundfile) and i guess i subconsciously reach for my clie, open the clamshell, turn off the alarm, and close the clamshell. then i just stop there and am back asleep with the clie in my hand. too bad i can't subconsciously put it back on my nightstand.

[SamuraiCatJB]

I did it... I took it to bed last night.... and it woke me up this morning on time...

I feel sooooo dirty now.... ;)

[Avisionary]

To bed?....of course - gotta do that last email check. How about to the bathroom? Web surfing beats a magazine any time!

[coolride]

I second that one Avisionary...I'm usually cruising the web (usually cliesource.com) on my Clie while I'm on the can. :)

[ksjenkins]

E-Books & MP3's nearly every night. Plus my alarm clock for those early am meetings.

[fssia]

Yeah I bring my Clie to the loo too! Play Cubis or read some ebooks while I am at it. :D

[ebook junky]

Maybe that should be the next survey. Do you take your CLIE to the loo?

[coolride]

Maybe...it would be interesting to see the stats.

[fssia]

Lol! Ok can someone start that survey now? :D

[PBM808]

what survey?

"Does your man spend more time in bed with an electronic device than you?"

and posted in womens mags?

[fssia]

If u wanna make the women all furious, then why not? :D

[ClieKun]

no trust me you DON`T want to make women upset!

[fssia]

Actually I would be one who won't be furious cuz I am one woman who spends more time in bed with a handheld device/ book than with my man! :D

So may be there are a lot of women out there who wouldn't mind at all! :D

[*YellowRose*]

oh wow your a female confused:

[halo_gps]

I wish I could find one like you, gals.:eek:
But if I think it a bit more I wish I could find one that wanted more time in bed with me.:D

Don't tell my GF.:eek: ;)

[ClieKun]

wow I`m shocked :D

[fssia]

ClieKun, what do u mean by "oh wow your a female confused:"? :confused:

halo_gps, we dunno ur GF, so we can't go tell her. Give us her phone number NOW! Lol! :D

I guess when we wanna spend more time in bed with our Clies, it actually means we wanna spend more time with ourselves ALONE. So our other halves should respect that and give us the space and time to do so. :D

[CLEAmber]

I actually don't bring my clie to bed with me. I have never been able to get into ebooks as I really prefer paperbacks. I leave it on my desk charging so that I can be sure it will be set for the long day ahead..

[fssia]

CLEAmber, u dun play games before going to bed? :p

[CLEAmber]

Not with the clie, no...

[ClieKun]

Careful with your statements CK, "I am shocked if you are", they can get really piss off. BTW she's been telling us about her BF no?;)

Yes, I am a female. Why does it shock u, ClieKun? Do I talk/write like a male?! :D Anyway halo_gps, may be mentioning abt one's BF doesn't necessary mean that one is a female. ;)

ClieKun, remember in one particular forum, we're talking abt sleeping on futon and some unreg person really attacked u or "us" and mentioned something abt homosexual topics...I wonder if that person also thought (or still think) that I am a male & thus the comment. :rolleyes:

[ClieKun]

Yes I remebered thats thread........But I don`t recall you being a female. Oh it does not matter.......Sorry :(

Sorry to remind u of that. Just a tot! Now tell me what made u think that I'm not a female. :p

[ClieKun]

oh wow i did not notice :) I never double post:(

[ClieKun]

No, its not that you write like a male. I just thought you were a guy.

[fssia]

Hmmm...that's why I am curious. Even my mom said I should have been born a guy. :D

[ClieKun]

Hey don`t worry about it! :) I just assume there are more males then females on this board. That is the reason why I thought you where a male :D

[halo_gps]

He he he, sometimes asumptions can be really dangerous. Can you belive that before meeting for the first time my Ex-GF I thought it was a guy.:eek: It was a bussines meeting. Names can play with your head. And chinese names are even worst.

BTW, If I'm not wrong they tend to use partner over BF, because BF is to sexist or something like that. Read it somewhere.

yes since chinese name takes on the father name with girls and boy right?

[halo_gps]

Correct, and when you adress them normally you use the surname plus a older, younger, etc.

[ClieKun]

I know this because I dated a TW Women for 2 years.......

[halo_gps]

Something I heard about taiwanese woman is that you don't wanna marry them unless you want to loose all the rights over your bank accounts.;)

[fssia]

Lol! Luckily I'm no TW woman! :D I do agree that some Chinese names are pretty unisex...eg. my name. So it's kinda hard to tell by the name.

CK, u have a "sweet tooth" for Oriental ladies? ;)

halo_gps, u still haven't tell me where exactly are you located at, is it Kunming or Barcelona? :p

Actually I kinda love Kunming, it's probably one of the best places in china.

It's a really nice place if you wanna get away. But if I only have like 5 or 6 days I go to ZhongDian, this amazing place at 3400m. with amazing mountains and rivers, half tibetan half chinese. Well I actually love been here.:D :D :D
