AT&T Fail and why the iPhone needs to go CDMA
I am an unabashed fan of the iPhone and all of it’s locked down and controlled UX goodness. Sir Steve is right: command and control is necessary to design a mobile user experience that just works.
Only bummer is Jobsco can’t control the crappy network service AT&T is attempting to provide (which is soiling the reputation [...]
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.
An excerpt form [...]
So is Droid Legit?
Before we get all fired up, consider the following:
Will the phone have a solid way to backup photos and videos to the desktop? No point in creating all the content if we aren’t able to integrate it into our desktop editing and archiving apps. Sure there will be youtube and picassa integration, but what [...]
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 [...]

I really wish jobs and co would build am iPhone with a real keyboard
Hopeful for the future: Tech finally trending to the non-technical.
A couple things popped up in the last few days which support our hypothesis that the real productivity benefit we will enjoy from new technology will only occur when tech becomes more intuitive to the average user who stands to benefit most from that technology. We are happy to present these events to track this [...]
The best thing about the Palm Pre…
…is that it will hopefully force apple to build a physical keyboard. I am sort of kidding here. I know the Pre has a lot of great features going for it, which I am excited to play with.
Being that the only flaw I can find in my iPhone is the lack of a physical keyboard, [...]
Well designed animation of the credit crisis
The Crisis of Credit Visualized from Jonathan Jarvis on Vimeo.
This is a well thought out and designed explanation of why we are going through this craziness.
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 [...]

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 [...]
