Bill Gates uses Treo 700w

[Tim]

Peter Rojas of Engadget has the chance to interview Bill Gates during CES. At the end of the interview he asked BG what phone he primarily used. This is how the interview went down:
</div>
"Which cellphone do you carry now and what's your portable music or media device?

Well, recently I've been using this Treo 700w that I think is a great product, Palm has done a good job on that. We've got quite a variety in cell phones with Windows Mobile, more and more people backing that, but that's one I've been using recently."

Awesome.

Of course Gates would say he uses the Treo 700w!!!
However, I find it hard to believe someone of his stature even carries a mobile phone. He is at the point in his career where he does not need to call anyone, and if he does, someone else makes the call for him. If you need to call him, you go through his "people", not his Treo 700w.
This is kinda like the Burger King stating he loves Whoppers! No duh...

This is true, but I hear Billy G is a down to earth kind of guy. For example he did a 60 Minutes interview at Dick's Drive-In, a pretty popular burger joint in Seattle.
Well, he did once try to pay for a meal with a $1,000 bill, but hey, I'm sure that's the lowest denomination he carries and since they only accept cash, what can you do?
But yeah, I wonder what operating system he uses on its PC? heh heh...
