I've owned an iPhone for a little over a month, and its safe to say that I continue to be impressed. This little device has really made my life more productive and more entertaining. It isn't a perfect device by any stretch of the imagination [but it is as close to it as I can imagine]. Even for all of its marvels, there are relatively simple things that it cannot do.
For example, it cannot copy calendar colors over from the desktop version of iCal. Seems a really strange and very simply thing to be able to achieve with a native app. There is no cut and paste feature that would allow one to cut and paste a link for example from the browser to a blog page. Flash media still isn't supported on the iPhone. These are just a few things that I have named.
But I will say, even with it's small imperfections, and I do mean small, there is a vast world of tech junkie stuff at one's disposal. The App Store is one of them
Now it seems that Nokia and Microsoft will be opening their own version of an applications store in 2009. This latest tech piece from the BBC annouces the intentions of these two technology giants to move into the sacred ground broken by Jobs and his band of merry men [and women].
One could only hope that either they, or someone will come out with syncable word-processor program for the iPhone that will allow you to not only read MS Word files but also edit them. Also, it would be nice if Apple, instead of simply making an amazing Keynote remote, could also make a mini Pages and Numbers interface for the iPhone.
Well, for all you tech junkies I just thought I'd share some news.
Happy Monday to all!
Peace,
E
