Think Twitterific for Friendfeed. - Steve Rubel

David, for me it would mostly be about having things like the tabs, show best of in big iPhone style category links that are easier to tap. and then possibly mitigating the need to send pics via mail2ff, and just have it direct through the app and the iphone's camera roll - Robert Seidman

Is http://friendfeed.com/iphone/ not suiting you? - Jim Stanger

Jim, it's fine, but not optimal. - Robert Seidman

oooh, just loaded twitterific up, nice eye candy. - David Vasileff

I realize this is not nearly as exciting, but anyone know of a good FriendFeed application for BlackBerry?. . . - DaveFriesen

as an aside, I can't help but wonder if the Facebook iPhone app will win back some of the digerati. Dave F, have you tried fftogo.com? it's not blackberry specific, but it is a mobile app. - Robert Seidman

Robert, have tried fftogo. Nice, but spoiled by clean BB app's like Gmail, Viigo, etc. - DaveFriesen

For FriendFeed iPhone app - how about some geo action (Brightkite)? Oh, and how about some grouping functionality (TweetDeck style)? Not too crazy, just some features that fit and exploit the iPhone's capabilities... - Bryan Landers

Definitely agree with this, I am surprised there isn't one!!! - Joe Dawson

I'd rather have a FriendFeed N95 app than an *P**ne thingy - Ivan Pope from twhirl

http://www.friendfeed.com/iphone is plenty great. - Robert Scoble

I want an app to favorite articles while reading on my iphone! - Tim G.

I'm using buddyfeed. Highly reccommend it. - Can Koklu from BuddyFeed

No, no I beg you not to develop an iphone app. Develop an s60 app for us Europeans first :-) - Richard A.

Buddyfeed was built to fit your needs. That's the best ff app ever. - pastas9 from BuddyFeed

Ping.fm ? - Patrick from twhirl

There's BuddyFeed but I don't like the interface and at times fails with a slow connection. Nambu has a nice interface and supports multiple social networks but its FF integration isn't complete. - Rodfather

First time I've seen via Reshare. - Russellreno

Hey this is intersting... Reshare feature...ok got it now! thx! - Susan Beebe

It's not that McCain's too old, but he IS old, and if he were to pass, would you trust Palin as president? No one is questioning Biden's ability to take over should Obama die, which I am kind of curious about. - keif from twhirl

very appropriate, I say. - Joe Buhler

Biden looks more like Grandpa Simpson. McCain could be Capt. H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock in the ATeam - NoahDavidSimon

How dare you soil the name of Maude Flanders. - Nick Martin

And what would people say if someone created a Lenny and Carl button..? - Sprague D

That was my third commuter, but the one I miss the most was my amiga, so sad! - Michael Fidler from twhirl

So, apperently the Amiga might be coming back. I watched some of the other videos associated with this one , and their was a couple of commercials for it. Does anybody know anything about this? - Michael Fidler from twhirl

i bought a 2 inch thick book with code to type in. For the SID player editor. Took forever but was worth it. Loved SID music on quantum link. - Rodfather

OK, now I have to get mine out of the basement and fire it up... I think I still have my Jumpman cartridge... loved that game. Wonder if it still works? - Kevin C. Tofel

the amiga is in eternal "return" mode, only that it cant find any hardware to run on... - turn.self.off from twhirl

I skipped the 64 and went straight from Vic 20 to Amiga. (via an Amstrad all-in-one) - Steve 'Chippy' Paine

I got an Amiga 3000 collecting dust in the closet right behind me, I thin warek I still have all my software. I could of sold it, but it has sentimental value. I'm serious. - Michael Fidler from twhirl

ah our first computer in '83. - Anika

I started on a DEC PDP-10 at my High School, but my first "PC" was a TRS-80 Color Computer. I went from there to the Amiga 1000 (I still have one of those) and the off to various PC compatibles. - Soulhuntre from twhirl

I had both a Commodore 64 and an IBM PC. I could do more with the PC. In all honesty I think the Apple IIs were the best machines. I used them in school and they were great - NoahDavidSimon

Heh -- another PDP-10 user ( I am older -- I was a user in my first job) - have you seen this site http://www.pdpplanet.com/ ? -- over the web access to PDP-10 courtesy Paul Allen - Brian Sullivan

My love for the C-64 is almost outshadowed by how lame this commercial was... heh - Michael W. May

Coleco ADAM, baby! Although the first computer I ever USED was a TI99-4A - Nine

oh I wanted an ADAM so bad. how was it? I had a Colegovision - NoahDavidSimon

I used that computer for years and years, man. I loved it. It was really easy to rebuild, too. Swapped the printer-based power supply for a different sort of external power source, added tape drives and disk drives and a 80-column card... loved it. - Nine

awesome. I wanted it badly. it did look good - NoahDavidSimon

Correction - in Canada ordinary citizens can go bankrupt if they develop health problems - I know people who have. There is NO single tier health care system in Canada. Tell me that the next time you have to pay out of pocket for prescription medication, or hand over your VISA at the emergency or they won't admit you because the ambulance ride costs money...or you have to go to Buffalo for an MRI and pay $$$...sorry to vent but I keep seeing these misconceptions and I'm getting a little tired of it. - Kevin Cearns

I don't particularly hold to any party vision. And I'm not promoting a version of Canada. I'm merely pointing out fact. It is one thing to aspire to a particular reality, another entirely to assume that reality already exists. - Kevin Cearns

I had avoided paying for apps until you mentioned how much you liked Crash kart. It's definitely worth the money. - Aaron Hood

Mona's all hot over the sexxxay robot! I think I am too... :o - iTad

someone should make a Wall-E robot with mindstorm, that would rock. - Alan Le

i have a wall-e coloring book! - Mona Nomura

My son watched this earlier in the week and I'm glad he did. It got him to dust off the LEGO Mindstorm set we bought him. It's an awesome product. - Kevin C. Tofel

Alan Le, I think this has a Mindstorms Wall-E http://blog.makezine.com/archive... as well as a regular Lego one. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

Kamilah wow nice! - Alan Le

Dave you want to do it, but most of the time your posts are on twitter !! Why not immerse yourself more on FF ? - Peter Dawson

Do whatever you want:-) - Francine Hardaway from twhirl

Seems like ping.fm (or a similar servce) should support this soon. - via StumbleRead - Adam Loving

The only problem with this is for the folks on FF, it can produce a disjointed conversation. Take for instance, your fcuk Facebook post: the FF version got 40 FF comments and 36 likes. The Twitter version on FF got 4 likes and 4 FF comments. It would be nice if FF could federate them into one meta-post. - James Williams

my post coming soon... - MG Siegler

Don't have a Jesus (or Mary) phone yet, so I can't judge. I would like to be able to judge, though! - Alex von Halem from twhirl

cool. we can forget the wale...say welcome to the failPhone - Dan V from twhirl

lets hope the failphone stays failing for a few more hours - my iphone error page is doing quite nicely in pv :) - Allen Stern

great picture! - Corey Hammond

My RogersBlackberry is humming along fine too ;-) - AJ Batac :)

My updated iPhone (old school) is humming along just fine (I updated it yesterday and had no problems). - Jennifer Dittrich

Right...but its Rogers...and its Blackberry. See? - The Fat Oracle

hey steve if your phone is down, i can let you borrow my samsung ace - it works great, super fast speeds, and an awesome opera mobile browser :) - Allen Stern

Hang out for a while. It finally comes on. I was down for 3 hours trying to update this AM, though - Francine Hardaway from twhirl

i think this is one of the most liked posts on FF - Susan Beebe

Already had that happening before,but yes, it's getting worse. I've become adept at whipping out a charger when I'm near power - Robyn Miller

excuses excuses - steve got a large "jobs juice" this morning - Allen Stern

I usually describe my iPod Touch as a pocket computer that can also play media. The iPhone is a pocket computer that can also be used as a phone. - Michael Connick

You serious about crashing iPhones??? - Roberto Bonini

@rbonini, I have had to do a hard reboot at least once every other day. It sometimes takes me a minute to even get it to respond to a power button hold, and then longer because I can't move the slider. - Robyn Miller

totally agree. Heres a test report on smartphone battery life under 'mobile internet' conditions. http://tinyurl.com/5mbr89 - Steve 'Chippy' Paine

Battery life is the major hurdle the mobile phones need to conquer. - Muthu Ramadoss

Do we need Intel to come in to picture for the processor at least with better performance and less power consumption. I think the processor has to scale up before these phones can smoothly support all the pc functions - Umesh Kakkad

I predict the next iPhone will have a multicore processor - Alan Cheslow

I been hearing the battery story for 5 years now! iPhone is nothing new, it is a PDA with Windows CE! Solve the battery problem and stop lying how many hour it will hold charge! You lucky if you can finish a DVD on a clean charge? - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

I cannot use the Camera or go into Photo album right now on iPhone - both crash every time. Starting a restore... - Sean Alexander

The current iPhone has multiple processors. It has 3 ARM chips in it. 3G may have the ARM multi-core chips. Not sure. The power draw isn't the processor, it is the network, screen and GPS. This is why it lasts longer when that stuff is off. - Kevin Goldsmith from twhirl

Yes, just do not watch movies, no surfing the net, and no GPS! Is this like 8 years ago? Voice and SMS? - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

I wouldn't put up with that - #1 priority is reliability - it's a phone first. What happens in an emergency and it's frozen? - David Andrzejewski

David: all my phones have crashed at some point or another. It's one reason why I carry three phones. - Robert Scoble

I don't use phones. I like that. the joys of being unemployed is I don't want it. - NoahDavidSimon

how about microcomputer rice cooker? can it crash while cooking? - Pajama Domain from twhirl

agree with Robert Scoble - my n95 crashes all the time, including while having phone conversation! - Pajama Domain from twhirl

I thought the iPhone ran BSD/OS X, not Windows Mobile - MiniMage, enterRUPPted from NoiseRiver

The worst things about the iPhone are the charge time and the inability to search email by author - Seth Shapiro

Totally agree. AOL Radio ain't too shabby either. It has tons of stations and I found a local AM station which is huge. - Rodfather

Pandora quite simply rocks. - James Kendrick

not yet here in Italy :) - Federico [Kurai] from twhirl

@Jay you can download them but there's no firmware yet. - Steve Rubel

Federico: I can see it. But I don't have an iPod Touch or an Iphone, alas! - zio bonino

...odd. iTunes update tells me that I have the current verison (7.6.2.9) - JA Castillo from twhirl

Zio bonino: WTF? it keeps me saying the store is unavailable... - Federico [Kurai] from twhirl

@Federico hai aggiornato iTunes alla 7.7? Entra nello store e cerca "App" - Stefano Mainardi

now it's working. Ebook reader only with ebooks sold through the store? Crazy. - Federico [Kurai] from twhirl

Current eReader titles / libraries will work with the eReader app. I have five years worth of titles that I've used on Windows / Windows Mobile. They will ALL work with the iPhone app. ;) - Kevin C. Tofel

I am stoked to find eReader in there. May speed up my iPhone purchase. :) - James Kendrick

really? How you upload them? Does it read even pdf books? - Federico [Kurai] from twhirl

@Frederico: your library is stored on the Fictionwise server at all times, so you can just download titles you've already purchased. The app will likely have the eReader store so you can browse, buy and DL new titles. That's how it works on WinMo, so I suspect it should generally be the same. - Kevin C. Tofel

@John, I suspect the eReader app will let you download from your library on the Fictionwise server directly. You can do that on WinMo. I just got confirmation that we have a call with the owner of Fictionwise today so I'll have more info to share. :) - Kevin C. Tofel

@JA Castillo I saw a Twit that said software updater may not recognize the need for the new version if you're running a beta of iTunes. - RyanEs

@RyanEs - no beta...all the more confusing if what you say is true. - JA Castillo

Pocket watch geek from way back-pocket sun dials...the precious! - Mark Forman from NoiseRiver

this is cool but I can't help wondering, why would a shepherd need to know what time it was? - Nathan Rein

Thx for sharing this; very interesting bit of history. And they put my stupid SPOT watch to shame. - Kevin C. Tofel

This is putting me back into rat / pellet mode - Mike Doeff

i'm the same way, really hope this is happening. mobileme is definitely coming tonight so maybe... - MG Siegler

Hoping for that 2.0 version too! - Adam Turetzky

i have refreshed this page at least a thousand times http://www.apple.com/itunes... - MG Siegler

you'd think they would have let us have 2.0 for all of TWO full days just for being good sports who bought the frakin' phone at $599, but NOoOooooooo - Robert Seidman

It sure would be nice if they did release the App store early. - Arlan K.

nada as of 2:45pm PDT. @#^% - Robert Seidman

update: App Store likely for tomorrow morning: http://venturebeat.com/2008... - MG Siegler
