Random Thoughts on Mobile
webOS would have paired well with Nokia’s phone hardware.
I hope it is not too late for the HP TouchPad. A few software updates could fix the worst issues that I’ve read about in the reviews.
Windows Phone OS with the Windows 8 touch interface would make a very interesting tablet.
The Android web browser should be called Chrome.
My ranking of mobile platforms (what I would buy,...

Nothing?
“It’s a nice reader, but there’s nothing on the iPad I look at and say, ‘Oh, I wish Microsoft had done it.’” — Bill Gates, February 2010
Maybe not Bill, but I bet you wish Microsoft sold 14.8 million tablets since then.

Interesting piece by Tim Morgan, definitely worth a read. In his response, John Gruber notes:
“Whether you think this is a good thing or not, there’s no use fearing it. Apple’s passion for UI uniformity went away with the six-color logo. Change is inevitable. Individuality is the new norm. Mac UI design is only just starting to take influence from iOS UI design.”

iTunes 10 UI
It seems they desperately wanted to save a few pixels of vertical real estate, so they took this button arrangement from the mini player and brought it to the main window, where it just looks bizarre.
Also, the new icon. It isn’t a surprise that the old music note over a CD icon is gone, as the focus of iTunes hasn’t been “rip. mix. burn.” for years. The new icon is...

I Don't Remember Soccer Being So Noisy
Headline on Drudge says the vuvuzela puts out 127 decibels. Not just any decibels, annoying decibels.

We know from painful experience that letting a third party layer of software come between the platform and the developer ultimately results in sub-standard apps and hinders the enhancement and progress of the platform. If developers grow dependent on third party development libraries and tools, they can only take advantage of platform enhancements if and when the third party chooses to adopt the...

Google Versus the Carriers
Engaget reports Google is going to attempt to defragment the Android platform by separating their apps from the core OS and distributing OS updates via the Android Marketplace. This is a good goal for Google (sorry for the alteration). Hopefully, for Android handsets going forward, it solves the problem. But as John Gruber notes:
