Gonna have to disagree with the gang on macbreak weekly. They’re reasoning for apple allowing the opera mini browser on the iPhone was that safari was better so there was no competition. Nope. No way. I would agree that they might think that’s what apple was thinking. Opera mini is much better and when it gets to the iPad there won’t be any competition. Opera will be the hands down winner.

Using safari really IS like using a browser from the early ’90’s.

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.

My first blog on an iPad.

Futureshop was sold out of every model except for the 64gb 3G model. Hopped over to Best Buy and they had a few of the lower end models but still plenty of the 64gb 3g’s. This leads me to believe that those are still priced a bit too high. Definitely a premium product.

I’ve only spent an hour total on it so far, but it’s the future…

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.

So the lost “writers” painted themselves so thoroughly in a corner that they decided to pull a Dallas. But they went one better instead of just one season they did all six.

Really? Guys you had nothing else?

What about turning everyone into black smoke that cleverly comes out of Locke’s ass?
