wow.. i really liked this article!

ESPECIALLY his ending quote

"Until then, I guess I’ll just have to console myself with the fact that I can now hit the spacebar twice to type a space and a period. That would be super useful in Instant Messag—oh. Never mind."

it was funny because this is exactly how i feel about the iPhone at this point in time..
