One wonders if MS came too late to this market to dominate it?<br /><br />That's why I'm pulling for Google...when I get a "smart" phone, I want it to run Android (though the iPad smokes the 'droid tablets I used).<br /><br />Elaine, I rather like my dumb cell phone. It's a decent flip phone and I don't think I'll miss the land line :)Iggy Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834075825456226770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041624883246722973.post-14491264385872695582012-01-20T12:59:36.347-08:002012-01-20T12:59:36.347-08:00Congrats on losing your land line!

At that point I used the line only for internet access, so I switched to wireless. During the recent hurricane I lost wireless access for almost two days and I could use free wifi at any Starbucks that had power. So glad I have a smart phone! It's like a mini back up computer.<br /><br /><i>iBooks Author</i> is a great idea! I tried to download it but I need to upgrade my OS first. Hope to read (and make) one of those multimedia books soon.Elaine Greywalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09490094339478164401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041624883246722973.post-34272191463466281992012-01-20T11:41:52.979-08:002012-01-20T11:41:52.979-08:00I agree; Apple always WAS about the ecosystem; tha...I agree; Apple always WAS about the ecosystem; that is why they focused on schools early on, being snobbish to anyone who wasn't buying 1000 Macintoshes at a time and let Miscrosoft run away with the home PC market. It almost cost them their business, but they learned from it.<br /><br />But now where am I going to get Ektachrome 64 for my beloved fully-manual Mamiya-Sekor SLR? *sniffsniff*Miso Susanowahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14628657533849686313noreply@blogger.com
