I like tweetdeck on the touch so it was a no brainer to get it on the iPad. Except it sucks a little. The one thing it doesn’t when it updates is show the little red icon that let me know how many tweets came in, which in turn let me know how much I had to scroll down by. So I’m re-reading more tweets than i need to.

The other thing it does is that when you tap the “view in safari” button, you have to quit safari and relaunch tweetdeck.

Bottom line is that it’s still easier to read tweets on the touch/iPhone than it is on the iPad.

I can see now why apple didn’t want opera mini in the app store. It’s light years ahead of safari on the iPhone.

Speed dial, tabbed browsing being the two biggest features. I’ll probably never use safari again on my touch.

Now that I’ve upgraded wordpress i can finally use the wordpress app I’ve had installed for ages

Testing the new MarsEdit…after a wordpress upgrade…yeah, i like to live dangerously…

can we stop calling openoffice “microsoft office compatible” now? it’s not. the list of features it DOESN’T support is longer than the list of features it does.

hmmm, when i started this bog entry i was going to list all the features that weren’t supported.

truth of the matter is. if you got locked into the the ms office suite because you used all the features it had over other word processing programs, congratulations, bill and steve’s evil plan is working.

and no, i don’t have an alternate solution ms word is probably the best word processing software available BECAUSE it has all the features. nothing wrong it that, and with some third party help you can run it on a mac or a linux box. so no real loss of productivity if you switch to those platfornms (have fun with the printer drivers though).
