Coffee break – Starbucks for coffee, Bose for juice

I’m sitting in the King of Prussia Starbucks with Mari Silbey at the moment; she writes for both Zatz Not Funny and the Motorola Connected Home 2 Go blog. After this I’ll be heading to the Apple Store for my first iPhone experience. We’ve been chatting for about an hour while working on our respective devices: the Q1P for me and a Dell Latitude D610 notebook for Mari. Well, we didn’t get halfway through our Grandes before Mari’s laptop battery kicked the bucket. I’m still humming along with a good 84% battery level, so there’s definitely something to be said for the small devices. And large coffees. ;)

BTW, we’re ‘borrowing’ some juice from the Bose store right next door. Hope they don’t mind. If they give Mari a hassle, maybe we’ll just tell ‘em we’re interested in some high-end sound equipment. Hey, if they don’t want folks using their juice, I say they shouldn’t have put the outlet so close to the Starbucks! :)
