My iPhone Isn’t All It’s Cracked Up To Be

At least, not any more.

I’ve finally replaced my severely broken iPhone with a refurbished unit through my phone plan. I’m in the US, and have ATT. Yes, I know; I’m sorry as well. I literally had to wait for my contract to be up, so I could “upgrade” my phone with the exact same phone.

Amazon, Get Moving!

You know, now that the iPad secret is out – Amazon could really shore up it’s existing client base rather easily, in my opinion:

GET THAT STINKING MAC VERSION OF KINDLE OUT!

That would help me stem the cravings for that newest Apple product, and perhaps keep me from spending my hard earned iCash over at Barnes & Noble,

All Kidding Aside: The Glaring Omissions from the iPad

Yes, I joke around quite a bit. I consider that my job.

But, like many ‘folks around the world, I was listening to whatever bootleg feed I could find from “the announcement.” My hopes were high, and many of them were met.

In retrospect, however, I was left feeling that something was missing.
