I’ve been putting off writing this, telling myself that I just don’t have time now I’m a new dad, but truth is, I wanted to say something special and couldn’t think of the words. I still can’t, but I need to say hello so bad, that I can’t put it off any more.

You can deny it, or call me a fanboy, but let’s be honest— Apple has made a very good (and attractive) product that has stomped on the competition. It’s easy to use, powerful and extensible. And it’s done something the competition hasn’t been able to— captured the imagination of content providers like nothing else. The Windows Mobile platform has been around for years with a handfull of tools for it, but it took only six months for half the web (I’m exaggerating) to make iPhone compatible websites and tools. I’ve got to believe that’s due to having a decent platform, rather than rampant fanboyism.
But the iPhone isn’t perfect. What follows is a list of a few things I would like to see for and on my iPhone. Before I start, can I just clarify so I don’t get interrupted in my flow: Anything I ask for I’d like as a native iPhone app, through the App Store— not some Jailbroken app that’s going to require me to tinker.
I found a fun little iPhone app called Scribble. You use four pen colours (and there’s no erase) to doodle on the iPhone’s touch screen. Mil had a hoot letting out her frustrations on it. The images below are for Peanut.

A quick obligatory post using the new Wordpress iPhone app. Useful, and might mean more frequent personal posts. Missing Zemanta and the Flickr Photo Gallery plugin for quick links and Flickr integration. Can’t seem to easily link to those two useful tools for instance. I might use it to post about things in the “real world” as they happen.
I loved the Dark Knight. It was fun, but it was also dark and difficult to watch. The film was experimental (for a comic book movie) that was a contrast to the big loud and also terrific Iron Man a couple of months ago.

And as for Heath Ledger’s Joker, I present my Twitter comments from soon after seeing the film:
Seriously, he’s one scary mofo. I don’t want to be Batman anymore.
