It wasn't so clear from the article, so if I were to use an Android, my contacts would be downloaded to the device from the Google cloud?
i.e. if I happen to be in area with no access to the net from my Android phone, would I still have my contacts on the phone? (perhaps a silly question, but I just want to clarify). #iphone
I've been playing "Beneath A Steel Sky" for the past week. I like it quite a bit actually. Anybody else find the same with this title? #theweekiniphoneapps
I found the little bit about the indicator light interesting, because I never really did see much value in all of the little lights lined up on a lot of other laptops, not even the HD access light. #jonathaniveobjectified
@Kaiser-Machead: Those lights drive me crazy. When I look at PC laptops, I see so much that does so little.
Apple has been hiding indicator lights for a while, but I first noticed this style of hiding an LED behind a metal bezel with micropores on one of the portables as part of the integrated iSight. I think it was the first intel MacBook Pro. #jonathaniveobjectified
@ludwigk: I believe it was the second revision of the MacBook Pro. The first had a standard led, flush-mounted in the bezel. I noticed because I had a first gen, and when the new one came out, I saw the actual led was hidden and thought "Holy smokes, that's brilliant." #jonathaniveobjectified
@ludwigk: The first mac I had with a hidden indicator light was a G3 iBook. Not the clam shell one, but the first all white one, it had a very cool indicator light hidden next to the display release button.
And my big problem with PCs in general is the feeling that they just sort of figured out how bit the product would be, surrounded it in plastic, and called it a day. If it even looks like they tried to design a part, then it has touches, and finishes that look like they'd appeal to 7 year old Joel, not 25 year old old. Like that HP laptop that was on here not too long ago, it was obviously "inspired" by the macbook pro, but then they put that weird circular pattern thing on some of the surfaces that just looked ridiculous. I mean don't they realize adults are their main market. I'm not discounting kids that get computers, but c'mon, why does it have to look like something out of a bad sci fi. #jonathaniveobjectified
@Mark Zegarelli: You could be right. I've got the 2nd gen sitting in front of me now, and whenever I use the isight, its a tiny spark of joy to see the status LED. #jonathaniveobjectified
@ludwigk: Oh, yah, fair enough, I have a macbook pro now, with the iSight light, and the first time I saw that, I was super confused, I thought "did I not notice the little black dot in my bezel before" so I closed out, and it just went back to looking like metal. And then I was really impressed... I still would like to know how they do that. #jonathaniveobjectified
The iPhone "nano" can be about the same size as the Zune HD and still be significantly smaller than the iPhone 3GS. Hell, my iPod touch looks significantly larger than the Zune HD.
As for Verizon, no doubt they'd want their big stupid V-check branded onto the phone, and no doubt the Fruit Comp'ny will say nay. #iphone
@jhonizzle: Yeah, I know all about the HP iPods, but that was when HP produced them, and they were etched into the backplate. AT&T couldn't get their globe logo on the iPhone. Do you really think that Verizon will have better luck with their V? #iphone
I feel as though i have to give my 2 cents. on android. I bought a G1 near its release, And yes something things it did better then iphone, But honestly iphone OS 3.0 fixed most of that.
The iphone is ahead right now! in two years, or a year, i will decide and move on then. But i was tired of android sucking for so long, the first year was really lame, so i wanted something good now! not something with potential.
The gmail app i miss alot, but google sync with exchange is great. and honestly im happy now, i see myself switching back to android in the not so distant future, but right now i feel like it is still a teenager and an iphone can already go to bars. #iphone

All I want is for att to invest some capital into its network, but what's the point, they'll have to come up with something faster in the near future.
