In a word yes.

If you don’t have a smart­phone or if you are due for an upgrade — DO IT. Siri is awesome.

Was just reminded that today in 1983 Apple intro­duced Lisa, the first per­sonal com­puter to have a user inter­face and mouse. I used one of those and remem­ber my devel­oper bud­dies that cre­ated one of the first per­sonal infor­ma­tion man­agers [PIM] in the day. It included a 1 megabyte hard drive that was the size of a breadbox.

The indus­try is just as excit­ing today. Thanks Steve Jobs.

From a con­sumer per­spec­tive, what mat­ters most isn’t the per­for­mance of the touch­screen itself, but how well a touch­screen per­forms in com­bi­na­tion with its oper­at­ing sys­tem and user-interface to deliver an expe­ri­ence that is sat­is­fy­ing over­all. - labs.moto.com

Here’s a video to give you an idea how dif­fer­ent devices perform.

We liked these tests and were a bit shocked at how pathetic the Motorola Droid and Black­berry Storm 2 per­formed. Every­thing needs to work in con­cert… here Apple has the clear advan­tage. Soft­ware and hard­ware work extremely well together.

The first time that the peo­ple that made the Bernoulli Box became iomega with remov­able dri­ves that were all about YOUR STUFF I thought their was some very savvy think­ing about the desires of con­sumers. Then the CD burner came into being and smashed their suc­cess in the portable stor­age mar­ket­space. Well, It looks like Iomega is return­ing to its old smart self cre­at­ing a very desir­able, very sexy new ego 320 GB hard drive. The reviews I’ve read are very good and the drive is excep­tion­ally good looking.

It reminds me of a flask with some­thing warm inside for when the cold winds blow. Or maybe a cigarette/cigar case — some­thing very per­sonal. The kind of gift you give to some­one you are very fond of, some­thing to inscribe.

This is a prod­uct with a very inter­est­ing emo­tional connection.
