over the Iphone was/is justified as apple seem to have delivered a very good product. Am just gonna mention a couple of things i noticed when I played around with one last evening at the 5th Ave store. It worked just as well as the advertisements promised,so that encompasses all the +ves.
A couple of things apple could have done better.
i) two handed use of the touchpad to email/message is difficult. apple claims heuristics will improve performance.
ii) For some weird reason there’s no auto-recognition of a 10 digit phone number and a prompt to call ,when its part of an email text or message.
p.s there were more media and camera then the number of people in line at the 5th ave store at 6 pm.
last i heard they still had both 4 and 8 gb models at 9 pm. go figure !.
update: i totally forgot to mention the sick adapter thats required to use third party headphones with the IPHONE. When i asked an apple store employee about the headphone jack, he indicated it might be a faulty product and was not aware of the fact that it needed an adapter. engadget has a list of headphones that do work, and apple better get its iphone to work with the grados !.

Whenever attempting to improve my jazz, i always go back to my favorite jazz artists Pat Metheny, Mike Stern and Miles Davis. I had a chance to see Pat mid-April but i decided in favor of this concert the same night. Probably a bad, bad choice. Especially when you listen to this.
(or lack of patterns) in my everyday activity seem to reflect inconsistency and tardiness. My blogging seems to be afflicted with the same disease which i shall correct. Anyway the last month and a half -> a fun little period in my life that included a trip back home, weekly training sessions for the marathon that i plan to participate in and a renewed (?) interest in music composition.
My trip back home started off well, unlike my last attempt. It was a cramped two weeks which was all the time i was given off work. Managed to meet almost everyone i wanted to and shared some good times with everyone. India is always fun and mom’s koottu still beats the shit out of anything(as always) i get to eat in this city.
