I have just had a read through the first post of Stephen Fry's new personal blog. If I have understood correctly he typed the whole thing (almost 6, 500 words) on a smartphone. That takes some seriously impressive thumbs, a great big dollop of patience and a lot of passion for the subject (which - with a touch of irony - was smartphones).
What was particularly interesting about this particular blog post (for me, anyway) was just how keen he was to point out that he's not completely biased against any product not made by Apple. "The lady doth protest too much" springs to mind, though he does manage to accurately identify some of the flaws of the iPhone. He also comments, however, that "only a cross and silly person would pretend to be unimpressed [by the iPhone]". I find this a tiny bit annoying since I truly am not particularly impressed by the iPhone. It is pretty, it is very pleasing to use and it does have many virtues, but it is also lacks a lot of features that are necessary on a modern smartphone and it would struggle to replace my (rather awful) N73. It is impressive in certain respects, but so are most phones these days (including most of Nokia's N Series).
