Q1 I do Q2 I do Q3 Not I, said the fly Is this like one of those ladies' magazine quizzes where now I will find out what kind of person I am and how likely I am to find a boyfriend? Ans: you are lazy and feckless. Even though your iPod and iTunes drive you insane with all the things they make it complicated for you to do, you just put up with them because you are defeated by things you find tedious. You will never be happy.

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 ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Simon Cobb Sent: 14 September 2007 09:45 To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: RE: [backstage] Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2007 13:46:04 +0100 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?
