My iPhone is the only known thing that can detect what state of sleep I'm in and wake me up when I'm in my lightest sleep in a half hour window...



(Look up Sleep Cycle on app store... amazing!!)

Hahaha as long as you're being more light-hearted about this now its better.

iPad does have multi-touch over my netbook, defo not arguing that, multi-touch is good. But the future isn't really just about touching things on screens we feel its natural but actually its kind of annoying in some cases, cause you can't see with your hands all over the screen. Things like 10 finger GUI concept are where the future is at, touch based UI have their place and are great at space saving on phones etc... But i don't think they scale all that well and naturally, there comes a point where you really want a real input device again.

I've been light-hearted all along Getting too old for Mac vs uncooked sausage debates I'm simply being optimistic. I remember seeing the iPhone and thinking "Holy cow! That's really going to change things." I remember arguing about apps that were unique to it and all the cool things you could do that other things couldn't, or not as well. Maybe the iPad will fail but given the success of the iPhone I'm willing to take a chance and believe its going to change things once again.

It has an orange icon with a white frame alarm clock It's amazing. Even shows you a graph... One sec and I'll upload a pic.

Try running apps on your Mac while you're multitasking. Happy now?
