Another time I need to wear pants

More iPhooey

I’ve just started reading Eric Siry’s Seen and Not Seen Business 2.0 blog recently and I like what he’s got to say, especially what he’s got to say about the iPhone. I certainly am in his camp on this. Until there is real functionality and 3rd party application support, I think I can wait. I’d […]
