not that I predicted it all that well!

Shasta, that multitouch shit is off the hook, plus the device profile is amazing.

Google Maps rubbish now.

the rumor was two separate batteries -- one for ipod/apps, one for phone. curious if that holds true.

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 18:27 (seventeen years ago) link

DUH.

presumably the yahoo account can check other accounts.
Yeh, I'd guess so. Although that's going to be just as out-of-sync as POPing gmail.

They're surely not going to stop people lining up to provide push to it though, are they?

this is all pretty 2005-2006 for phone freaks...
Already with the "other phones are cheaper and better", ha.

Right but how many support them in their native forms as opposed to as a special app (as google's are)

http://jaaksi.blogspot.com/2007/01/more-from-vegas.html

They just don't get it. Why will I buy another device from them to see support, upgrades and new applications for their older devices die off (gah Symbian)
