Features I wish the iPhone had

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

Yesterday, after the iPhone 3G announcement, someone at work made a comment, “For $200, there is no reason not to get an iPhone.”
I thought that shows we engineers have a serious lack of imagination.
The reasons I gave at the time to him are no different that this Gizmodo article.
Still shows a serious lack of imagination.

My wireless bill

Monday, August 20th, 2007

For those of you who asked after this appeared, my first AT&T wireless bill was only 66 pages long (33 double sided pages).
Thanks, Justine Ezarik, for reminding me that I’m still as unpopular as I was in high school.
Oh well, I better sign up for online billing.

The Steve and the Al would be happy.

Perfect Ringing (This iPhone)

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

At work today Mark Kater and Sarah were joking that I’ve been as sick as long as I’ve had my iPhone. I guess my iPhone has bad Feng Shui.

Got a new iPod for Christmas?

Monday, December 25th, 2006

iLounge has a great overview of their site’s resources.
Their Free iPod Book and Buyer’s Guide are my favorite because they’re drool-ready and a free download. Remember when this stuff was published in book (and later magazine) and you had to pay for it?
I’ve been using them since I got my first iPod in 2001—they were [...]

Joining the anti-social

Monday, December 11th, 2006

Blake Robinson is the lone pro-Zune voice in the CrunchGear wilderness. (Probably because they weren’t bribed like the Gizmodo folks were.) When commenting about their new commercial, I wondered if he’s found any Zune love out there.
He hasn’t.
An interesting thing he mentions in passing: he leaves the WiFi off because of battery drain. Remember five [...]
