Not by a long shot! LOL
More informed? Yes.
Every night before leaving for work, I check the next day weather and let my son know so he’ll know how to dress for school. Then read the news, check traffic and off to work. Why tonight, iPhone saved me from being late to work thanks to a finder bender on my off ramp.
iPhone is a great tool, its up to the owner to remember his or her manors in company.
I do have this vague worry when I take out my iPhone of “how are people seeing me?” Are they looking at me like an uber-geek? Are they looking at the phone with envy? It makes me uncomfortable to “show-off” such a high-profile device.
So I don’t take the iPhone out in public very much. And I certainly don’t try to look up stuff when I’m having a discussion on the best method of bee-keeping in a cold climate, or some other obscure topic. (I just made that up, by the way. I have no experience in bee-keeping.) Some of that is out of habit as well. I’m not used to having that resource in my pocket and don’t think of it.
I do discretely try to look up stuff on occasion. But the Edge connection kind of makes that kludgy much of the time.
Sorry Sean I have seen Opera and it’s not even close to Safari in my opinion. Not to mention the screen that you have to view that browser on isn’t even in the same universe as the iPhone.
I agree that Opera offers SOME of the functionality of the iPhone’s web browsing experience - but not all.
Somehow I don’t see knowing too much as a bad thing. Now they are trying to find faults from the strengths of the iphone. IMHO.
Know it all? Depends on my signal strength.

This podcast episode still on not on iTunes!
fincher first of all ease up on the exclamation points!!! You use those for things like “starvation in Darfur!”
Secondly - what episode? You posted this comment relative to a blog post?
All of our audio podcasts, all 46 of them, show up in iTunes. I just checked.
Update: Deleted APS from iTunes again, the re-subscribed again. Thank you.

i’ve got a sprint katana II and can look online at sites similar to the iPhone using Opera Mini 4…..
I’m not “bashing” the iPhone, but having full web browser access isn’t exclusive to the iPhone. The Opera Mini is highly functional.
