it’s a little ironic that I’m writing this post on my iPhone; I think I’m in the market for a blackberry.
I’ve been using an iPhone for a little over two years, first generation, and it’s really slow. Blackberry has also done a good job of remaining “cool” even with the iPhone floating around.
Blackberry is still known as the business standard, and as I have been doing more and more work from my phone instead of my computer, I’m starting to realize the limitations of the iPhone.
I would probably just get a new iPhone (the S in 3GS is for speed after all) except that:
1. it’s a bad idea to buy an iPhone a month or two before they’re likely to announce a new one.
2. I think I’m ready to try something different.
I have tried the nexus one for about four days but had to give it up because the keyboard was too flaky and because of a few other interface changes that I just wasn’t getting used to.
so I think i’d like to try a blackberry. the one big, hanging question I have is how much am I going to miss my apps?
“Tech makeovers” may be a bit of work, but they sure can be a lot of fun. I look forward to Monica’s new integrated digital life ;)
“It goes straight to your head,” he said, “but it’s not my cup of tea.” (Mr. Rooney noted that his cup of tea is half a bottle of vodka a night.)
One of the more memorable lines from a fun news story.
but the game also contains bizarre, misguided notions of what women really want (if given two weeks, paid vacation, island resort)-Paradise cannot mean straddling felled tree trunks in dental-floss thongs.
Even though the ESRB went back and killed the verbiage, this is an awesome ESRB label.
Coming soon to iTunes, Assassin’s Creed II: Multiplayer is an online multiplayer game for the iPhone, which uses a Wi-Fi connection to connect you with up to three other players in a game of hide and go die. The goal is simple: kill the other players before they kill you.
I am really enjoying the renaissance of the 1992 videogames industry on the iPhone, but I am still waiting for a good interface for fighting / FPS type games on a pure touchscreen.
All you need to play is a browser that supports HTML5. This Looks Awesome.
From Family Guy joke to sensationalized journalism. As much as this report is WAY over the top, I have to admit the cybercrime is a serious and growing category of assault, and if law enforcement is stepping up to the plate, I am all for it.
ilvern Castle is a fantasy role-playing game (RPG) for the Apple II in the spirit of the classic Wizardry. Unlike Wizardry, which was written in Pascal and proclaimed as a game “that simply could not have been written in Basic”; Silvern Castle is almost entirely written in AppleSoft Basic.
If you have an Apple IIe, this sounds…awesome.
I’d like to posit that for idea workers, misusing Twitter, Facebook and various forms of digital networking are the ultimate expression of procrastination. You can be busy, very busy, forever. The more you do, the longer the queue gets. The bigger your circle, the more connections are available.
How could you not quote Seth Godin.
I need to go through this list later and spend some iTunes store cash.
I love the way our L33tsauce formatting works when it works. And of course this is a pretty good list.
Maybe the hardest thing (or Apple’s greatest strength, depending how you’re looking at it) in using an Android device after being accustomed to the iPhone is the app difference. Simply put, iPhone apps, as a whole, are much, much better than Android apps.
Probably the most informative and useful iPhone/Nexus One review I’ve seen so far.
