Nice, iDEN is the only network technology that let's you chirp for free. You can use "Push-To-Talk" on most other carriers, but they charge extra. And Boost Mobile's plans are impossible to beat. If you stay with them for 18 months, you can get unlimited talk/text/web for $35/mo.

Then it ventures into the whole idea that Steve Jobs doesn't want to allow flash on iPhones
|
That's the main reason most people dislike iPhones. I agree, it should use Flash. Jobs views Flash as a dying/obsolete technology, and prefers H.264 and HTML5. But why not incorporate it anyway, just to cover all your bases. It really stems back to how crappy Flash used to run on the Mac OS. Apple blamed the glitches on Macromedia (who was later acquired by Adobe), and Macromedia blamed them on Apple. It's really just two sides refusing to back down.
On a side note, all of the WebKit browsers (including Safari on the iPhone) are going to start incorporating "Walaby," which will automatically convert most flash files into HTML5, thus letting it be displayed on your iPhone.

I bought a zune and I'm happy with their zune pass.
|
I've had 2 Zunes (80GB and 120GB) and I absolutely loved them both. I didn't care much for the software to load them (Zune Marketplace or w/e it's called), but the hardware was amazing. I loved that little 'squirkle' track pad. And the ability to wirelessly transfer content between Zunes that were near each other was awesome. I never subscribed to the Zune pass, but I am curious about it. I know it's $15/mo for unlimited downloading, but do you lose your downloaded songs if you fail to renew your Zune pass, or do you always own the content?
