you guys obviously need more than a hobby according to Meghan McCain: http://twitter.com/McCainBlogette/status/13756576141

As much as I love web applications, sometimes they're simply just not suited for the task (music streaming, etc.) right now. Even current simple web applications for the iPhone, like Gmail, aren't perfect (but oh do I love it over the native Mail client). But with Apple's help in creating (albeit proprietary) standard for a mobile web app (http://ajaxian.com/archives/iphone-full-screen-webapps), the mobile web experience should be getting better (why hasn't Google implemented this yet?). The way I see it, we'll be having web apps and native apps sitting side by side on our mobile devices for quite some time in the future (if not already).

Agreed: http://www.tuaw.com/2010/04/20/apple-we-want-device-back/ this is more concise and well said than I could ever be.

... really? did you kick him enough while he was down? It's just unethical to exploit someone this much just for your ad clicks.

Gizmodo's attitude is making me sick. All of these articles have such a "haha, gotcha!" attitude towards Apple (and especially Gray) for no reason at all. Apple is secretive about their products, so what? You got the prototype. Take the photos and report on it. There's no reason to divulge all this information about Gray. Apple knew who lost the phone already, since they were able to wipe it remotely. Their snide remarks and attitude in both http://gizmodo.com/5520479/a-letter-apple-wants-its-secret-i... and http://gizmodo.com/5520438/how-apple-lost-the-next-iphone make me feel as if the Gizmodo writing staff consists entirely of 8th graders.
