Enjoy it you testers and good luck on the boring life, Java-less, Flash-less, MMS-less, Video Recording-less, Zoom-less, Fast-less, Real Application-less, almost-an-iPod, Song Ringtone-less, A2DP-less, 3G-less, Real GPS-less, Expandable Storage-less, only good looking Cell phone. :D

Hmm… let’s see:

  • Java-less - why would I need Java?
  • Flash-less - not sure what he means but there is a fully fledged Safari browser in there
  • MMS-less - MMS? see the comment on A2DP
  • Video Recording-less - this is a phone
  • Zoom-less - digital zoom is evil
  • Fast-less - Oh, this phone is fast
  • Real Application-less - Web is Real
  • almost-an-iPod - it is a bloody iPod
  • Song Ringtone-less - hmm… almost agree on this
  • A2DP-less - bluetooth file sharing is evil; Microsoft uses it (Zune)
  • 3G-less - true but EDGE is good for the 1st generation
  • Real GPS-less - I don’t usually get lost
  • Expandable Storage-less - 4/8 G is plenty for a phone
  • only good looking Cell phone - Yeah, baby!

So… it’s all good.

Another cool Mac app: TextExpander

This little app with save you tons of time. Check it out:

Good candidates to be added are my new funky signature and the ‘lorem ipsum’ text for testing.
You can even go crazy and add shortcuts for various numbers of ‘lorem ipsum’ paragraphs.
Keowl!
