I would say that if you look at the iPhone in particular, it really hasn&#039;t changed much except the software. So I don&#039;t think extras like a built in camera, iChat cam or any of that other stuff is going to get added. There is already a keyboard dock that you can get, so you can type a novel into Pages. Also, the iPhone and the iPod/Touch have eco systems that built up around them so I expect a lot of stuff could be piled on the iPad to make it do exactly what you want. You guys are hard on computers anyways. How about a computer, made of Al and glass, with no hinges and battery life beyond the two or so you get with a used powerbook? iPad.

As far as capacitive vs. resistive (pressure sensitive) displays, the iPhone OS has some gestures (pinch/expand and the keyboard in particular) that rely on multitouch and they can only get that using capacitive technology. That said, I&#039;ve heard that some enterprising souls are trying to overcome the fingernail problem with conductive polish. Another alternative would be to use a glove with a conductive stylus built into the first finger, which exist and are on sale now.

In the meanwhile, I will see about getting a Nexus One at some point.

I hear someone is doing a third version. Oh, well...

Some years ago, Bravo TV put out their 100 Funniest movies, only one of which was before 1960. Also, if exclude movies made before 1960 you&#039;re doing so at the expense of 50 or so years worth of movies. Some of which, I think we can agree, are bona fide classics.

I actually enjoy the movie and it DID make its production costs back for the studio.

I just installed the Mobile plugin by Alex King and it works great.

Less of a problem getting it installed, getting it going and getting it updated. I may keep that.

Hindsight being what it is...

Wish me luck. Mon, 14 Sep 2009 22:33:46 +0000 http://www.stevesmyth.net/?p=678#IDComment34481974 http://www.stevesmyth.net/?p=678#IDComment33949031 Hopefully it won&#039;t be too long.

Maybe I didn&#039;t upgrade quickly enough. Fri, 11 Sep 2009 07:36:05 +0000 http://www.stevesmyth.net/?page_id=248#IDComment33948418 http://www.stevesmyth.net/?page_id=248#IDComment33931996 Something is wrong with the blog, as I can&#039;t update posts or plugins. I have put in a ticket to my host, we&#039;ll see. Fri, 11 Sep 2009 02:52:24 +0000 http://www.stevesmyth.net/?page_id=248#IDComment33931996 http://www.stevesmyth.net/?p=621#IDComment26667797 Well they under promised and over delivered. Metro quietly went live on Google Transit on Friday, July 3. Unless you were looking for it, you would never have known. I was going to check weekly, and it looks like it paid off.

Since I sold my Acer Laptop to Arlene Satin, I need a laptop and this fills the bill quite nicely, but OS X, as much as I love it, was more a hindrance than a help. I will be getting a Macbook, but for right now this works. Wed, 1 Jul 2009 00:59:03 +0000 http://www.stevesmyth.net/?p=650#IDComment25979478
