Posting from an iPhone...

As mentioned in a previous entry, I won an iPhone... and after having/using it now for a bit I thought I'd share my thoughts on it.

#1. What I like:

The piece itself feels great in your hand. Nope, it isn't ergonomic. Not even close (unless a heavy'ish rectangle is considered ergonomic these days). It feels great in the same way that a Volvo, say a 1990 or older 240, looks great. That kind of great.

I also love the interface. Everything on & in it is as intuitive as scratching a freshly planted mosquito bite: you just know where it is, and what to do with it.

Someone somewhere gets paid big bucks to figure stuff like this out... and with the iPhone they did a really solid job.

All that said, it doesn't support the Think Outside Stowaway bluetooth keyboard [it's not in the bluetooth stack apparently, yet]...

and that sucks frankly, because while the Qwerty on this iPhone is no doubt amazing, it won't ever replace a real keyboard.

That is all.
