In total agreement.
So actually you've brought up a very key issue I have with Apple and the
iPhone. When I first started playing with the PocketPC and CE2 platforms I
thought they were totally locked down compared to the Palm platform which had
tons of unique applications for every such use.
Over time that's changed and the Windows Mobile devices have become very open
via the mobile .net frameworks. Now we're seeing them used for many things and
the unique niche applications being built...
Actually I think I'll save you all the time and blog it instead.
But let me ask a question to the list (those at barcampbrighton know what I'm
going to ask)
Q1. How many of you Mac users have Quicksilver installed?
Q2. How many of you Mac users have a iPod and use iTunes?
Q3. How many of you Mac users have change the dock position?
Look out for a blog entry soon,
Ian

I am that <closes thumb an forefinger to indicate atomic size>
interested in apple products because I think they dictate how a user can use
their product far too much and marrying the iphone to a single network is
typical of this arrogance (yes I know it's been hacked open so hopefully the
hacks will become more accessible so that everyone can benefit except the poor
network)
Basically I see apple as the opposite of what this list is about: "use
our stuff to build your stuff". The very idea. Jobs would hate that you thought
apple product could be improved.
Am I wrong?
