I did not get a chance to elaborate when I first wrote this. Here goes:

I'm noticing that consumer appliances (calbe/FIOS boxes), handhelds
(Blackberries), and even some computers have managed to mush together
things that may be a convenience but don't belong. I noticed this when
Verizon announced that their FIOS TV was going to have more widgets.
Should TV have widgets? Wasn't the channel and pay-per-view enough?

You can argue that the iPhone and competitors are not just phones, but
what about the other phones that don't compete with them? Why do they
have stuff like email, game playing (which I do like -- a lot), IM,
etc.? (I don't write text messages.)

// i haven't gotten that memo.

Pietro has your copy. If you'd help us tidy things up a
bit, a quick 'rm $home/src $home/bin' would really be
good of you.

[matt]

I don't have the slightest clue what you mean, and tbh. I'm not that
interested ;)
