Hey everybody, yes, we know - we know that when we talk about the iPhone we irritate some people, so we actually try to not to do it as much we otherwise would have. But we're all pretty passionate people, and since all four of us have iphones, and all four of us have Macs (well Dick has one, but his primary setup is on Linux), it's pretty natural that it becomes part of the conversation - especially when we're discussing issues like user interface, productivity, and so on.
We were discussing the Android news last night (for the next episode) and I think we were able to stay mostly on Android-topic... As I've said before -- I don't admire Apple's Java policy. I don't admire their developer polibcy. I don't admire their tight lipped plans policy. And I hope Android succeeds since I'd rather have an open functional device than a closed functional device. But I also admire polished products that work. -- Tor On Oct 6, 12:49 am, gullcatcher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dick, Joe, Carl, Tor > > I've been listening to the JavaPosse since episode 16.
