Compelling case for the iPhone/iPad being a new mode of computing that
will oust the current Desktop model. If the Newton had been cheap this
would have happened in the 1990s ;-)

iPhone Developer Program

"We have decided to drop the non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for released iPhone software." As a user, does this mean the developers who have made apps that can email files will tell all their freinds how to do it? Hope so.

Mike Davidson - LazyWeb Request: iPhone Power Miser

A proposed app for turning all the power draining/useful iPhone features on and off with one click (or should that be push? poke? jab? finger?). This would need to be provided by Apple, and that they might be reluctant to admit the need for such a thing.

Ironic Sans: Idea: How I would do iPhone cut and paste

Nice. I'd replace the buttons with the Newton's 'drag to/from the side of the screen' method, because it'd be quicker, and because I'm a weirdo Newton fetishist. (And once we *can* select text on the iPhone, I demand an Assist button with all its associated cleverness.)

iusethis iphone software: Free software for the iphone population

Given that there are squillions of iPhone apps, 99% of them are either total shit or completely useless (I don't play computer games), and there's no way to try them before you buy them, IUseThis could be a handy filter.

Backup Battery for iPhone / iPod - DX001

The fact that something like this is necessary if I want to use my iPhone 3G for more than a few hours between charges is incredibly fucking annoying. (My old Nokia N95 did 3 or 4 days with the same amount of browsing/email/GPS use.)
