The Steampunk Desktop

I'm not particulary into the steampunk thing (although I did enjoy Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age), but this is very cool:

Why I Won't Be Buying An iPhone (yet)

Many of the omissions (e.g. no cut-and-paste functionality) are correctable with updated software.  But you can't get around the EDGE network connection, which appears to be abysmal.

A usable Internet connection is, to me at least, the primary reason to own this phone, and it appears to fall down badly there.

Another 12-18 months should see this corrected with a new hardware release and more carriers.  EV-DO Rev. A works really well on my laptop, and I'm not ready to trade down.
