I wonder if a solar panel on a phone could ever generate enough power to extend the battery life of the phone? I think the only long term solution will be multi-core processors that can run slow and use a lot less power. Problem is there is going to have to be a massive software rewrite to make this happen. “Why is battery technology so far behind”

The iPod Touch looks like a cool toy but memory available sucks.

Mainly because as something other than a phone, it is currently just a great great toy. Its a beautiful and sexy, but it lacks any business application at the moment. The hardware limitations are not all that important, but the current software relegates it to toy status. I wish it had GPS, wish it had a microSD slot, wish it had 3G...thats about it, but they're actually rather important. But, Since it is a software issue, the iphone has the benefit of being able to be updated via itunes. Hopefully they will; add stereo bluetooth support, allow custom ringtones, allow third party apps, allow bluetooth keyboards, have ms exchange connectivity via something other than imap. The software upgrades will come, hopefully sooner rather than later. the main reason i actually chose to return it is lack of signal in the hospital and thats more of an att problem than it is apple. hey..this sounds like it could be a blog entry...

Secondly, I'd like a way to snip songs and turn them into a ring tone. Third, instant messaging. I don't use im all that often but im in a web browser always has and always will suck.

It seems to work slightly bit not really that well. Buggy and slow. I can't wait till real, non-web applications are available. I just gave meebo a try.

(www.meebo.com) Is the browser fully functional or, is it a micro/mini-browser? Maybe they will have the kinks worked out of babble by the time I get one? Dag, the wait for it to come north.
