is apple about to change the world again?

jan 15, 2007

i have to admit that the iphone is an 'obscure object of desire', to paraphrase bunuel's exquisite film. a lot of us will be lusting after it.

i have long had multiple devices, a basic cellphone, a palm PDA and a camera. i am beginning to wonder if convergence is worth it, esp as the OS X basis will allow apple to add new personae to the iphone (which may end up, btw, being called apple phone as cisco surely has rights to ''iphone"). oh, darkstorm, i dont think real estate is a big problem for connectivity: everything will be wirelessly connected so you dont need a usb port and a firewire port and all that.

btw, i have found the canon a540 to be a nice camera with a lot of manual controls built in, but it does consume batteries. i guess i'll have to invest in some high-end 2500mAH niMH rechargeable batteries.
