<p><font size="2">Yes, indeed-ee, that's what we have <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/1-in-8-blokes-would-swap-their-lady-for-a-must-have-gadget/">here</a>&nbsp;from a recently conducted survey.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">The hot gadgets in question -- <strong>HDTV, iPod</strong> or some other desirable gadget.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">On the other side of the coin, <strong>one out of every 16</strong> of&nbsp;the <strong>ladies</strong> would ditch their boyfriends for some of that gadget glory, too. (Thanks to <a href="http://www.planet.nl">www.planet.nl</a> for the image.)</font></p>
<p><font size="2">(Wonder how the iPhone introduction would affect these numbers -- new survey needed, please.)</font></p>
<p><font size="2">Makes me wonder how many out there would ditch their significant other for a gadget?<br />
<br />
And if you did so, what gadget would it be?<br />
<br />
The phone lines are open ....</font></p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Forget dumping your boyfriend for new gadgets...how about dumping him with a gadget????  Anyone but anyone who's into their phones should at least have heard of Spinvox.  I've had it for about 4 months now and I love it!!  Luckily I got my ex onto it too, and instead of having to call up and leave the inevitable, 'it's not you, it's me voicemail', I left it so that he could read it within minutes (I think the message got through better in black and white).  This did happen, but I wouldn't recommend breaking up with someone via phone, but defintely recommend Spinvox, I just hated the pain that came with existing voicemail, so that's my gadget of the moment now. </p>]]>
