<description><![CDATA[
The iPhone is indeed a wonderful little device and, for some of us, a game-changer in terms of managing our digital lives from the palm of our hands. There are, however, some essential features that Apple neglected to implement.

<description><![CDATA[
There was no doubt that, when initially released, the Sonos was a game changer.
But as time progressed, and Apple introduced the Airport Express with AirTunes, then the AppleTV (also with AirTunes support), and then the iPhone/iPod touch with the Remote app; the Sonos began to show its age.

<description><![CDATA[I really, really detest the Market Felt typeface used in the Notes application in the iPod touch and iPhone. It is hard to read, hard to edit points into, and looks plain childish.

<description><![CDATA[While Google claimed long before Android&#8217;s release that having their own mobile OS would not dampen their enthusiasm for the iPhone platform, I had my doubts. How was it possible that the iPhone would not get short-changed overall, with preference and primary focus going to Android apps and support? For now, at least, it seems [...]]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[
Oh those crazy analysts. Always making predictions and playing fast and loose with our emotions. Consider, for instance, the latest tidbit from Needham Research&#8217;s Charlie Wolf. According to Wolf, it is well within Apple&#8217;s power to offer the 8GB iPhone at the very attractive price point of $99, after contract subsidy.

Nearly two months ago, we penned the sad news that Air-O-Matic&#8217;s &#8220;Pull My Finger&#8221; application was denied from entry to the App Store.  Pull My Finger (if you couldn&#8217;t guess) was a fart noise machine for iPhone.  It was one of those times in life when I realized I couldn&#8217;t have what I [...]]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s mildly entertaining to me how we all seem to get excited about apps that bring functionality to our iPhones that has existed elsewhere for ages.
As an example, Shazam came to the iPhone to decipher music we didn&#8217;t know, by playing it into the microphone &#8212; Blackberry has had this capability for a while.  [...]]]></description>
