Yes, I continue to follow the great iPhone saga, wondering if this is the time to jump (now that the price has dropped $200). Mark Anderson in the Pajamas office was a proud early adopter until the price drop was announced and we ribbed him unmercifully. Now he will get his vengeance, or partly, with the Jobsian rebate.
I have played with Mark’s phone and it is very cool. Unfortunately, it lacks one feature I find vital – voice activation. I’m one of those creeps who is always on the phone in his car (hey, it’s a long commute from Hollywood to El Segundo). I’d be dead, figuratively and literally, without the voice activation in my peeling semi-functional Razor, even if it does call the wrong party one out of three times. I’ve gotten very good at pretending it’s not a mistake.

Argh.

I think we will reach the dew point in this century where at least half of all communications takes place other than person to person.
Good havens, it’s seems difficult enouf to declare “the war is over if” and not be understood.
