I have noticed this blog is now getting big on the iPhone (and not big enough on cowbell), and to be honest, I like the idea. Having a miniature, yet kinda gimped computer is pretty awesome, especially when it integrates all it's features pretty well. However, one thing holds me back from getting it: that freaken touchscreen.
Sure, I love my DS (well, I would love it more if my cat didn't decide it wanted to snack on the charger cable) and touchscreens can be pretty cool, but having nothing but a touchscreen is a pretty bad design choice. Having to swipe through menus (not lightly, but with force) is just annoying and unnessecery, and could have just been fixed with some arrow keys. Having to punch in each individual letter on the screen is also pretty sucky, especially when you could just have a keypad. At least it has a power button just in case the OS decides to freeze so you can actually turn it off.
Overall, I find the iPhone ok, and if they just made a version with some actual buttons, I would probably like it. Still wouldn't buy it, because I'm cheap and I'd rather use a laptop, but would look upon it more favorably.
Speaking of computers, my machine is getting some nice upgrades. I've ordered more RAM, which should knock it up to 3 gigs, and I'll be getting a new video card so Team Fortress 2 will stop crashing my computer. I'm kinda amazed, my machine will actually be competent now. Just hope my internet connection can keep up (it never does).
Anyway, back to haxing teh server of life.
P.S. I have no idea if Edward already brought up my points in his blog, since I was too lazy to check, but I don't care much anyway.
