Fear and Loathing of the iPhone OS4 update.

I am a dedicated Mac person. I think the combination of a safe and reliable operating system, combined with the liquid smooth interface makes a operating system that I can use and enjoy. Whereas my Windows 7 machine running on equivalent hardware is jumpy, jittery and lacks the pixel precision that the Mac OS X operating system exhibits. But this isn't the blog entry equivalent of a pissing contest.

Two years ago, when I replaced my Blackberry Curve 8310 with an Apple iPhone 3G, I thought I had possibly found Mobile Mac Nirvana. Alas, this is not at all the case. Instead I am now locked into cell phone hell. At this point my iPhone 3G is a paperweight/mp3 player/camera, and it’s not very good at any of those things.

Facebook + Flash + IE8, yes it sucks.

facebook Apps not running well on your fancy new multi-core computer?

Blame Adobe Flash and Internet Explorer 8, not facebook.

So you want an iPad? Really?

Sure I'm a Mac guy, I have been for years. When the iPhone was introduced, I would have rushed out and bought one immediately except for the fact that Cingular/AT&T wouldn't sell me one because of my corporate cellular account. I was told, at the time, that the iPhone was not ready to be used in a corporate environment because it was incapable of connecting to anything other than Apple.com email.

Frustrated and impatient I waited. Thankfully, I waited long enough to find out that the first generation iPhone was a pretty sad little device. I decided to wait until the iPhone was upgraded, which as it turns out, wasn’t a very long wait.

Hello I'm a Mac...

Those of you that know me, know that I'm a rabid Mac user. Not to "beat a dead horse" as it were, but I would rather use a slow Mac, than a blazing fast Windows computer that tends to crash.
