Giving up my iPhone

How best to describe my feeling upon surrendering my iPhone for Scott to use, and settle with a Blackberry Pearl? When in the depth of despair, I can only express myself through Chinese poetry.. 還君明珠雙淚垂 comes to mine.

The Blackberry Pearl is a pretty stylish smart phone itself, but, 曾經滄海難為水，除卻巫山不是雲.

I am waiting for third party developers to create medical applications that can be download to the iPhone. Using web based applications is just too inefficient and unreliable for a busy pulmonary/critical care practice. 春蠶到死絲方盡，蠟炬成灰淚始乾 sort of sums up the current situation.

But, I still get to use the iPhone on weekends. 兩情若是久長時， 又豈在朝朝暮暮

So, 問世間, 情是何物, 直教生死相許 is the billion dollar question to be demonstrated by a new iPhone vs. other smart phones ad for China.

Before I get another iPhone, it needs to mature beyond being desirable and beguiling, it needs to support knowledge management systems for healthcare, and mobile charge capture applications. A woman can not live on love alone.

Pride and Prejudice

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single person in possession of a good mind , must be in want of strong opinions. However little known the feelings or views of such a person may be on his/her first entering a forum, his/her opinions must not be repudiated...

After spending too much time on Internet forums, it's my observation that people may have strong opinions, but their strongest opinion is about their own opinion. Myself included.

I guess that's what blogs are for, to expound on those opinions on one's own turf.

Blogs and More..

I haven't posted in while, but it's not because I have lost interest in blogging. Far from it, in fact, I was busy checking out all the different blogging services and testing them out (while neglecting my children). It did not take long for me to decide that Wordpress is too user unfriendly for me. Took me a while to decide on Type Pad. I liked the increased options and flexibility, but really was not thrill to have to pay for it. Plus, it's not integrated with google's Picasa which I use. Fortunately, Apple announced the arrival of iLife 08 with much improved iPhoto and .mac. The new features will allow me to easily create a more complete website. I am waiting for my order from Apple to arrive to start on my project. I think I'll have a different page for each of my kids, a web gallery and a link to my blogger blog.

I am not too unhappy about the new iMac release, even though I just bought mine a few month ago. I really like the previous all white design and find the new metallic look too "cold". No real big changes in hardware other than the expected improvement with advancing time. I wish they come out with Leopard already! I want to do a clean install and really don't want to have to move too much data around. I really like computers.
