OK, so I'm finishing the Orange gig which means new phone. I picked up an iPhone on Sunday and so far, the experience has been mixed...
| the good | the bad | |
|---|---|---|
| Appleness | lovely interface with apps that launch instantly and give great real-time feedback (Googlemaps is almost perfect but for one feature that sort of kills it) | no charge in the battery means no out-of-box experience (if you've ever unpacked an imac you'll know what I mean) |
| OS-design | no app-switcher | no app-switcher |
| handfeel | virtual keyboard works with one-handed hand-and-thumb (contrary to what early handset-expert nay-sayers claimed when the device launched) | really crummy soft ergonomics. I've almost dropped the thing twice. I could have used little rubber nipples on the back or etched grooves on the sides |
I'll add to this as I get used to the device...

Hi Michael,
Yeah the list has been up and down loads this last week.
We're having a two-headed hardware problem (know-how and money) which I'm struggling to fix this week.
Basically, the sponsorship money ran out ages ago and Billy and I have been keeping the thing afloat with our pocket money since then.
The problem we're having right now isn't that difficult to fix but it points to loads of tidying up and repair work we need to do if we want to keep the list online.
Thanks for your patience!

Hi dug,
What's happened to Lecturelist.org? It has been offline for about 10 days.
