I love it! Very perceptive and I think accurate. But giving up your pink phone? OTOH, an iPhone….well…yes, I can see giving it up for that.

Don, I’m a Firefox girl all the way. Safari and I haven’t made friends. We’ve tried, but I like what I like. That being said…

Some people doubt that people will be using their wireless “i” devices to get information in public places. Maybe it’s me or maybe it’s because I’m seeing people using their mobile (okay cell) devices as portable information portals. I mean, think about it — how often are you in a situation now where people rush to Google to answer a dinner party (in the broadest possible sense of the concept) question?

But you know me. Always thinking that the future is around the corner.

Yes, the pink phone abandonment is hard. I mean, there’s something so satisfying about such an obnoxious phone. But it doesn’t do, well, web. At least not well. Imagine the world if I could blog from my phone.

Hmm, not much would change.

A publisher thinking about anything but Safari? Well I never…

Seriously, this thing is a Godsend for smaller publishers even more than for big ones. Suddenly you can do big time marketing for close to free. Some may even be aware of it.

[...] Yesterday I started writing a post outlining my reasoning for proclaiming the iPod touch as the ideal e-book platform, and as I prepared to finish the piece last night I see the very smart Kassia Krozser at the Booksquare blog has beaten me to the punch with a post entitled Apple Saves the Publishing Industry.

Karen – Actually, Apple increased capacity on the iPod classic. The smallest size is now 80GB (at the same price the 30GB was selling for just last week).

The new WiFi iPods use flash memory for storage — not hard drives. Flash is better for battery life, but it’s also A LOT more expensive.

Basically Apple wants you to make a choice between massive storage and fancy new features. Actually, they’d probably be happiest if you decided you needed one of each.

The only problem with the new iPod is the cut in memory from 30-80 gigs down to 16. I guess this is bc of the other things that it does? I don’t have one, so don’t know what it means, practically speaking, but I do wonder why they didn’t put out a 32 gig version.

You’re getting rid of the pink phone? Shocking news …
