no massive surprise. apple has built the fist usable phone on the web,
and has now taken over in 6 months.

we all knew apple was going to do that about a year ago...

just shows how powerful apple's engineering is / how weak cell handset
makers are against their first serious competition in 40 years.

Especially when pitted against one of the biggest pieces of junk to come
along in years - Blackberry. The "phone" used by terchnical incompetents
like Muahman.

Cool! I'm posting this from my Nokia folding BT keyboard on my Nokia
N800 Linux Tablet using the Maemo port of rdesktop remotely
controlling WinXP on one of my Windoze boxes on my LAN at home over
the free wifi at Linda's Restaurant eating Shrimp 'n Grits, a
Southern delecacy from the SC Shrimpers scraping the sand offshore
this very morning. Yum Yum...

Look at the header and you'll find I'm remotely controlling old Xnews
which is really cool....(c:)

Setup took 20 minutes. Logon from the N800 is two cliicks, one to
boot rdesktop from the Linux GUI and one to select which machine I
want to select. Real pain.

I don't want a iPhone, but I do want it to succeed. Not because I want
apple to succeed, I have no shares in them and I only care that they
continue to produce computers I can use (I sopse iPhone success is tied
in with that now...).

But I can see some cellphone company master demon slobbering and
grunting in his cave over some horrible device with loads of buttons and
words in an obscure language, muttering 'one day, all phones will be
like thissss', and his counterpart in cupertino waving an iPhone around
saying the same thing. I know who I want to win. And the others are
already changing, so that's good!

I know who I want to win, too. I want the gummit bureaucrats to quit
taking bribes from the telecom fatcats who are doing everything they can do
to stop Wifi rollout, which threatens their shitty little SELLphone data
service ripoff.

It'll never happen...just like the rest of the media business with gummit
under their thumbs and the public taking it up the a$$.
