We’re a little over two weeks into iPhone ownsership and hot on the heels of my obligatory iPhone vs. Newton post, I now present my obligatory Things I Wish the iPhone Did [or at least did better] post. Let’s dive right in, shall we?
In no particular order:
No copy/paste. If I want [...]
To preface this post, let me just say that I am an avid fan of the Newton and follow the goings-on in Newtonworld with great interest. It is a great device, easily 15 years ahead of its time. The fact that it still, to this day, has a flourishing community not only of [...]

My brief first impressions of some of Apple’s new offerings:
iLife ‘06 - I’ll definitely be making a trip to the Menlo Park Apple Store to pick this up. The new iPhoto features look pretty snazzy, especially if I want to get Steph that “Sexy Poses of A.J.” calendar. iWeb is intriguing; I’m curious [...]
