Man, Apple and Segway are so much alike. Both have very passionate users, and both have large groups of people that hate them for no real reason.

Which is the irony I find in some people's comments in this very thread.

The only problem is when brand loyalty blinds you to the shortcommings of their individual products. It reminds me of the i2 parking stand. Ya it doesn't have one yet, but just wait guys! It's coming! I just know it! :P

IIRC, Web two dot Oh, can use little more than javascript and xml to deliver web apps. This places the all the work onto browser and thus the app should work from a static page even without a server. The downside is that the javascript standard, isn't much of a standard, because everybody implements it differently... to the point where you often have to code differently for Safari, Firefox and IE. It drives me nuts every time I want to do something trivial so I figure I'll code it in javascript only to learn that I've found yet another discontinuity in implementation of the ECMA standard and just use something else like I should have in the beginning.

What happens when Google and Apple finally merge and become... Gappoogle, Agoppogle, Gapopogle, Apgo...whatever?

the keyboard and browser concepts for the iPhone are mildly similar to browsing on a nintendo wii! This post brought to you from my living room... so much for a mac mini!

I take it, most of you who bought yourselves an iPhone also paid whatever cancellation fees your cell provider charged. (Except for those who already had Cingular / ATT).

Nora had a chance to play with an iPhone (I still haven't), and she said it's as everyone else things: SWEET.

I think I'm going to steer clear of it, because if I hold one, I'd want one...

Soooo? How 'bout a link or something to how you did it?

SegwayDan · 07-16-2007, 09:46 AM

Hey, I was *meant* to have one! My AT&T contract for my previous phone was up on the 22nd of July, so my new contract on the 29th when they came out didn't cost me any extra!

So Nora knows it's sweet, Jonathan and I know it's sweet. How can you possibly resist, hmm?
