Well the iPad does not meet my hopes. Not sure even a 2nd gen would do that. I think the philosophy might be flawed. Sad! Or is there something eklse brewing here?
iWishlist
I am looking forward to the Apple Tablet. The main thing I’d want to be able to do is to use it instead of my Toshiba M200 for sketching. I did a Thousand Sketches 2006-7 on the Toshiba M200 which has a Wacom style pen only touch screen. Worked well for me. It is pressure sensitive, and highly responsive. So I hope the Tablet will have something like a pen or better.
A long iWishlist follows.
Ipro – audio tests -?
Test from from my phone
I can get .m4a files and .wav files off the phone, they work on the phone and on the pc, but I have no way of doing MP3s yet, on the phone. I prefer them as they are the easiest to play.
This Google flash player for example, will not play the .wav files. It plays an MP3 in the previous post.

Rss Cloud WordPress Plugin
I have added the RSS Cloud plugin for WordPress to this blog.
I know it means real time updates on for anyone who gets the RSS feed in an RSS Cloud enabled aggregator like River2 …
This will mean … what in practice?
Are WordPress blogs also able to instantly see the updates from this in the sidebar? I’ll check in my art blog.
A Few Minutes Later
My Art blog does let a feed from here, but this post did not show up istantly, but then it is not a WordPress.com blog, nor does it have the plugin.

iPhone can, PC can’t
There are some things that my iPhone does that my PC does not do. It probably can be set up to do them, but I can’t. It is interesting how I miss them when I work on the PC. Here are two, I know I have others, I’ll add them when they occur to me. (of course there are features I prefer on the PC, this is being written on a PC!!) Anyone else notice moments where you reach for an iPhone feature & its not there on the computer?
Double tap to zoom on a column.
I can’t do that in Firefox. Is there a way? It is really a nice feature. Makes up for not having Adblock plus.
Two spaces = period and a space, and a cap on the next letter.
I did not think I’d like that, but I do!
On the evolution of science.
I have just listened to a spectacular podcast. From 2006 – I missed it till I changed my system of managing podcasts – giving in to the iTunes default way.
Kevin Kelly – The Next 100 Years of Science: Long-term Trends in the Scientific Method.
Download: iTunes — Direct download
The textual summary is here:

I continue to discuss the podcast and relate themes to my own writing.
Out Walking (then) Tweeting (now)
I am tweeting pictures. I am waltzzz on twitter
But really, my main photo page is in Flickr
I must say I am enjoying my Yoono sidebar in Firefox – I am suddenly integrating twits with fotos & facebook. It makes such a difference to me that I can see the pix in the sidebar.
