Dave Winer is gonna love this. Sigh. - Mark
Glad I will not remain the only one he blocked. BTW 140 char most efficient if we all would remember latin. I am refreshing my knowledge ad momentum, Amici Twitterati. In absentia... ;) - Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic
I love your articles! - Andrew

Steve, Well we have a GG this week & if so from where? - D Lets
The grocery awareness app is going to give us yet more time and money. It's great. I woulder what google has for us, they built scanning and camera robots to take pictures and map out grocery stores the same way the do google maps on the road with street view. - Christian Burns

It's really just reruns of the same old win ;) - Tristan Seligmann
I think this is one of the best articles I've seen from Steve in a long time. Kudos. - Louis Gray
I'm always amazed how the contract price is never mentioned when comparing prices. The purchase price is not important, it's the lifetime cost. Who cares if it is 99 or 199/299 when the lifetime cost is 1.000+? - Niklas Morberg
I have to agree, Microsoft should be panicing just about now and the folks at Palm should be worried as well. Never have I heard so much fanfare about the same features I've had on my Windows Mobile device for years. Apple beats them all hands down with really great marketing! - Jim Lavin
Palm has nothing to lose. Six months ago they were on the mat and pretty much everybody had written them off, and today they're the only iPhone contender getting any real attention. Their only real worry at the moment is whether they'll be able to make Pres fast enough. - Ken Sheppardson
Correct, Ken, nothing to lose at all. Which is why they can afford to go slowly, not bet the house and all remaining cash on having an oversupply of units on the very first weekend (potentially ending up in a landfill in Utah somewhere). Demand creates longing which leads to future sales. And it's not like there were long queues outside Sprint stores everywhere this past Saturday.... more... - ianf ⌘
Does anyone know Palm's plans outside of the US?? The iPhone is a great pocket personal computer, but as a business comms device it falls down. Give me a keyboard anyday. - Jeff
Jeff, be glad they take their time in the US, that way, when/if they come over, we'll be getting a far more bug-free phone than it is now. No plans for Europe have leaked out, nor has anybody but you asked it out loud. - ianf ⌘
A very good point! Nothing more useless than a bug filled device. - Jeff
Mind you, we don't know it is buggy, but we can deduct certain probabilities from known facts: 50.000 Pré have apparently been sold the first weekend, with perhaps another 50 on order. Nobody of the right mind orders loads of (expensive) units in advance, not until the demand has been "sampled," and "known." That most probably means Palm has yet to set up a truly-automatic, high-quality... more... - ianf ⌘
A good read minus the two typos I noticed, but by the end I was wondering about the title of the piece. The only part that I sensed spoke to the title of the column was one of the sentences in the last paragraph. "Apple’s rigorous march forward and its deep understanding of what the market will want next is not only keeping them ahead of the competition but building the markets they will own tomorrow." - Chris Heath
Jeff: Bell Mobility should be selling the Pre in Canada later this year http://blog.palm.com/palm... Back in January around CES Palm CEO Ed Colligan said the Pre would launch in Europe at the same time as the US http://www.networkworld.com/news... but I suspect they've pushed that back to... more... - Ken Sheppardson
Yeah, I agree with Louis - this is an excellent piece. Not usually a big fan of Steve's. - felix
While bloggers scoffed (in real-time) at the endless roll-out of apps #WWDC, it constructed the argument for iPhone as the "universal remote control with new features... literally streaming down in realtime." Sweet. - Brad Kligerman

mattscoble I'm in negotiations with Google to make downloads available, but we will move to streaming shortly.

"[Note: The Twitter exchange contains screen captures of actual tweets. Because the issues are systemic and not individual, I have blurred personal names and didn't include links to identifying information.]" --- okay, but then what is the point of blurring an image avatar or even a name? All of this would be available anyways and highlights a possible misunderstanding on the part of the author regarding the true lifetime of the humble status id in Twitter. - Jay Cuthrell

I doubt that Microsoft would ever do this, but they really should just write a wave client for silverlight. Microsoft doesn't often create a standard, but they sure can adopt it to save themselves (See: IE). - Ryan Massie

Thanks for posting. This looks like it's going to be pretty important, transitional to the web. - Matt M Perez via BuddyFeed
I would love to see this mass-adopted by all the major email server vendors. Imagine the next version of Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino, etc, supporting wave next to standard smtp mail. - Robert
I may have one or two Google I/O codes left after trying to contact the TCIT contest winners. Direct message me on FF to queue for them.

Anybody care about Google Reader bundles?
No - ld
I'm still using NetNewsWire because it works the best for me, but this looks really good! - nick
no... - Roland Hörmann
I made two bundles. They will be ignored like the contents within them. Only 4 people share with me. - Jay Cuthrell
Not really, but Google Reader makes my world go around. It's a top notch web-app. - Wo
yes. I use Google Reader a great deal - if I can start to see bundles from more people I welcome the chance to see my friend's (and others) curation of the web - what they choose to bundle together, how they label it, I hope and expect it will highlight some new and interesting things for me. I also plan on sharing a number of bundles I create that reflect the sorting I've made of the feeds I read - Shannon Clark
Nope. Adding social features to Google Reader seems like a desperate afterthought. - Tech Introvert
Rather make a bundle... - Aron Michalski
no, stop using Google reader awhile ago, nothing about bundles makes me want to start using it again - Kim Landwehr
no hasn't opml been around for like a decade? - BryanSchuetz
no... - Karoli
I care about it as much as I care about Twine. I read Twitter and post to FriendFeed. As much as I would like the read and post everything on FF, it won't happen until I can pull in my follow list natively without using the makeshift imaginary friends method. I have reduced my Google Reader usage dramatically. - Rolf Schewe
remember attention.xml, Steve? - Kevin Marks
Yes - in that we can help others who rely on RSS to find similar blogs. It's like playlists on iTunes. - Louis Gray
I think it legitimizes the idea of people bundling up all their public feeds into a single OPML file (whether as a GReader Bundle or something they host themselves), and let the subscriber then trim the feeds they don't want. - Kevin Fox
yes I do Kevin. attention.xml was about implicit metadata, not explicit sharing. Apples and oranges.GR needs to mine the new stream. - Steve Gillmor
Yeah. I can recommend my favorite marketing blogs to one friend, tech blogs another, and photo blogs to yet another. - Peter Warnock
Maybe you tech pros don't, but it could be a HUGE deal for people unfamiliar with social media. Now I don't have to spend hours explaining RSS and blogs to people. I say, "hey, login to your Google account, click Reader, then choose this link, and you'll be setup with a bunch of cool stuff." Now I can get my mom, my boss, and my peers (lawyers, not tech geeks) interested and following blogs in just a couple clicks. - Maxwell Kennerly
yes, the feature makes a lot of sense, i hope people use it and share their bundles publicly. - peter cowan
we should care and ask for or build our own better features. oddly enough, i wrote an actual blog post about it this morning - http://asu.ms/4ZpgQR - kris smith
I really liked the GoogleReader bundles for being able to grab a ton of RSS feeds and bring them into a room here on FriendFeed -Now I can see the stories easily and still find them easy if I close the page they were on. (and I have an excerpt to read of most of them here helping me to decide if I want to click the link) - guruvan (Rob Nelson) via PeopleBrowsr
Guilty of contempt prior to investigation, I set up a bundle to catch the items that fall through the twitter/FF/no longer scanning Reader crack and find that with the exception of the Google Feedburner/RSS delay it's an interesting way to get wanted items into the FF page for easy liking and commenting. I also see it as a stopgap to add Twitterers who have not made the jump/xerox to FF... more... - Aron Michalski
