Linux for the iPhone

I really love the form factor of my iPhone. I really have enjoyed the device quite a bit. However I do have a device addiction and with the launch of Android followed by the launch of Nokia’s N97 I have been really wanting something fresh. I have been thinking for a while now how great it would be to be able to dual boot my iPhone so that I can save on hardware and try out a different interface. The news of Linux running on the iPhone has been a ray of sunshine to my gadget addiction.

Apple’s “Lets Rock” Event

Apple’s “Lets Rock” event has come and gone. A lot of speculation surrounded the event as usual and as usual most of the reasonable predictions were correct. I had hopes of something more and completely different but I was sadly disappointed.

I am waiting for something that is a cross between a Mac Book Air and an iPhone. I realize that now is not the best time for Apple to release a product like this but I am tired of waiting for someone to come out with a device that breaks the mold of devices that we have today. I feel like we are still in the early 90′s as far as our devices go. All we are doing is making things smaller.

Hopefully something will come out of Apple’s next event. They are, in my opinion, the best hope we have to have new technology that breaks the mold. They did it with the iPod, the iPhone, and with their stores I think they will be suprising us more and more.

In the end we got new iPod Nano, new iPod Touch, and iTunes 8 with Genius. A lot of work on Apples part to deliver these things but I’m still waiting for something to excite me again like the iPhone did at its announcement.
