quotation errata
by yookoso June 26, 2007 12:30 AM PDT: "Once you've experienced something good like this, you won't accept something
bad. It'd be like going back to DOS after using Windows."

Unless my bleary eyes are mistaken, that quote in the article is from Jakob
Nielsen, our overlord of usability.; Like this Reply to this comment

Hype by any other name is still hype...
by Dave Metzener June 26, 2007 6:16 AM PDT: You know, I have to admit, there are a lot of people out there claiming gloom and doom for the iPhone. I personally think the thing is truly revolutionary. Why, because for the first time in my cell phone using years, I will be able to create a conference call without having to open up a manual!

However, Macenstein brings up an interesting point: So why haven?t we seen the iPhone?s camera? (http://macenstein.com/default/archives/683)

He has a pretty valid point. With all the commercials and the 20 minute intro video, there has been no "demo" of the camera at all. Surely the iPhone's camera will be the best camera that has ever been on a cell phone and will be as easy to use as the rest of the iPhone. Yet, no publicity for it.

It makes you wonder a little bit...; Like this Reply to this comment

for such purposes."

Perhaps they read his title wrong then. Maybe he is actually an anal cyst...; Like this Reply to this comment

About The Macalope: An Apple blog

Born of the earth, forged in fire, the Macalope was branded "nonstandard" and "proprietary" by the IT world and considered a freak of nature. Part man, part Mac, and part antelope, the Macalope set forth on a quest to save his beloved platform. Long-eclipsed by his more prodigious cousin, the jackalope (they breed like rabbits, you know), the Macalope's time has come. Apple news and rumormonger extraordinaire, the Macalope provides a uniquely polymorphic approach. He is a member of the CNET Blog Network and is not an employee of CNET. Disclosure.
