entirely possible. i've not been to either location yet, but i work
quite closer to both of them than i do Central.
would PANTUG want a separate presentation or would they just try to
catch this presentation?

absolutely. being able to do raw dumps is always a huge plus. the
backup gui frontend they bundle with it is rather nice, as you can
initiate a "backup" (although that may not be what it's actually used
for) and 10-20 seconds later have a nice tarball of every text
message, contact, call log, activity log, e-mail, picture, etc. on
that phone. a bit intimidating, also- i am reminded of our recent
thread in regards to traveling abroad and data privacy rights.

that's kind of depressing, but i'm not surprised.
it's a world ruled by the big names out there, unfortunately.
i'd like the time to reiterate to everyone the importance of data
security, and the fact that your phone is incredibly insecure. doubly,
triply, 100x moreso if it's got bluetooth. don't keep sensitive
information on it. </soapbox>
