I’ve always enjoyed the “sandbox” OS environment Apple created within their products. However, when iPhone launched in 2007, I felt that sandbox restriction became the biggest flaw on this device/platform. I understand, and appreciate, the claims that sandbox environment provides a more controlled and stable user experience. But as a smartphone, the ability to install apps on the device is almost a standard feature. In that department, iPhone pales in comparison to Windows Mobile’s versitility.

• WordPress for iPhone is coming soon! Good news for WP bloggers out there! http://iPhone.wordpress.net/ #
• @noi think the phone needs some discipline!! Drop it in a bucket of iced water to cool it off! #
• @noi once Golden Shellback launches commercially, you might just change you view on that :p #
• @noi it’s basically a protective coating to make things water-proof. google it up. #
• Didn’t want to bombard fellow twinklers…. Switching to twitteriffic. #
• @noi what about coffee? I don’t drink them~ #
• @noi I’ll see ya after sunrise! #
• 8gb isn’t quite doing it for me anymore. Too many vids, podcasts, and apps to load up… But i’m still not ready for iPhone 3G yet! #
• @icounsel4food how poor is the 3G battery? Have to check the price for a 16gb EDGE. #
• @nickmonti I was one of those suckers who got the phone in week 1. It was this or the 4gb… #
• @nickmonti yeah better wait for the 32gb and fw 2.0.1. The whole app crashing is a bit annoying. #
• @icounsel4food that kinda defeats the whole purpose of upgrading doesn’t it? #
• Bedtime it is. Long day tomorrow, I can tell… #
• Good morning twinkle! Time for work! #
• I was right. Day was hectic!!!! #

WordPress 1.0 is finally out on iPhone. I’m going to take this app out for a test drive over the next few days/weeks. Right now the feature feels fairly basic, with functionality mainly focused on blog posts.

Some of the basic blog settings are there: category, tags, and edit previous entries. I also like how it allows you to save drafts locally and upload it once you have better data/wifi connection. Makes us EDGE user’s life a lot easier.

• Apartment still needs cleaning, but it’s bed time. Cleaning will have to wait… (I miss my Roomba) #
• Was really hot this morning. But now it feels just right! #

• @ofirkaner I don’t think apple would allow you to downgrade via iTunes… #
• Anyone know how to get to “friends only” view in twinkle? #

• @mikesgroove guess I’ve got to be a bit more patient… I kinda miss the iHack version twinkle better ATM #
• Using iPhone 2.0 reminds me a lot of my old WinMobile Dopod… FreezeALot… #
• Think I found my Twinkle problem. It forces me to follow random tweeters, and I cannot “unfollow” anyone… #
• @Glycerine auto sends random tweets? Haven’t seen that one happened yet… I can unfollow, but twinkle refollows them upon refresh… #
• Monk and Psych season premiere are just meh. Avatar series finale on the other hand looks awesome! Can’t wait!! #
• So hard to get things done on a weekend. Nothing opens!!! #
