More Droid news…
I just read an interesting post regarding the Droid release on Fone Frenzy.
The thing that stood out for me was that Motorola, not Verizon paid for the anti-iPhone campaign. So why do we care? Simply stated, Verizon doesn’t risk incurring Cupertino’s wrath and ruin the prospect of having a CDMA iPhone running Verizon.

Responses to Jason’s Questions
I have posted a couple responses to questions that Jason Calacanis posted to his now famous, Jason’s List. I figured I’d include them here to provoke some dialog.
1. Do you think Apple would be more, or less, successful if they adopted a more open strategy (i.e. allowing other MP3 players in iTunes)?
I agree 100% that [...]
This is why apple needs a rwal keyboad o tje iphone

the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy yellow moon
so fans so good. Now for something less generic:
my crimes patrick lives in pali Alto California
conclusion:
I really wish jobs and co would build am iPhone with a real keyboard
Infinite image…Very cool.
This is a VERY cool new project by Nat Geo
I cant wait till someone figures this out for project planning and contextual information linking!
Is Apple growing out of touch?
I doubt very much that I am suggesting anything new here. But there are two areas that I fee Apple is a bit out of touch with the market:
iPhone Keyboard is a required offering.
I Believe the iPhone is one feature away from dominating the Enterprise AND the consumer space for smartphones/micro PCs. Steve needs to [...]
Well Produced “Future Piece” from Microsoft

This is a really nicely produced piece MSFT did about what they believe the future will look like, conveniently including the use of future software and haptic technologies.
What’s funny about this video is that all the UIs in the video imply that in the future, Microsoft [...]
NYC ocular police?
So there should be fines for this kind of stuff. Or there should at least be some kind of a local design or visual pollution board. While Hunter College may have good intent, these types of annoying neon aphorisms end up hurting the overall feeling of the urban landscape.
Not that we need more bureaucracy in [...]
It shouldn’t be OK to do this
I know why the city and it’s vendors thinks it’s OK to use the sidewalk as their canvas. They need it to be clear where and where not to drill, build, etc.
I get the utility of it. But as someone who appreciates the city and the urban landscape, this seems like overkill. There must be [...]
So Microsoft AND Seinfeld have officially jumped the shark??
From the journal: Microsoft Enlists Jerry Seinfeld In Its Ad Battle Against Apple
Perhaps the Bee Movie didn’t do too well and old Jerry’s trying to remain relevant. Don’t get me wrong, I am a big fan of his show…years of laughter from him, George and Kramer.
But this reeks a bit of desperation from both [...]
Why the iPhone won’t dominate in business email…yet

long answer: While on the road recently, I was forced to use the email functions in the iphone more than I had in the past. The vertical mail keyboard is too narrow for my big hands and often the predictive software slows down the process of writing [...]
