How someone without an iPhone spent the morning after iDay

No new toys here so I have to read what other’s share about them.I spent my morning sipping a hot cup of coffee and reading the day after impressions and comments. I think many of those bloggers who purchased their iPhones yesterday are so absorbed in playing with their new tech toy that they didn’t do much in depth writing today…. They’re catering to a group of readers that only focus on any subject for a few moments before veering off to the next one.It wears on me, but maybe that’s my age talking.

I believe Louis would have been better served by more carefully focusing on the problem of perceived manipulation of Technorati’s system via Viral Tags/Links rather then indicating Kent as a ring leader of some sort of fraud…. If it’s a fraud, then it’s one I’ve participated in as well.Kent, in his response questions:…is a link from some other blogger via viral tags that much worse than all those upstream “I agree” or “look at me, please” links from some pandering wannabe.I think probably not.

iPhone raises the design bar for future smart phones

There will be a good number of people camping out tonight hoping to be among the first to have one of these beautiful devices.It will also mark a change for the cell phone industry, no matter how successful or unsuccessful the iPhone is. The iPhone has moved the bar that any future smart phone will have to clear to be considered state of the art. It’s truly a design innovation…. I’m sure all the larger cell phone manufacturers have their Research and R&D departments working to compete with this new standard.So whatever the results of the iPhone, the cell phone market place and future cell phone designs for all us consumers will be improved.
