Re: [microsound] iPhone iSux

Well, what does "3rd party widget" mean exactly? Maybe I'd be more
interested if someone could give an example. I'm not a mac user, so I
haven't a clue as to precisely what this implies. If the iPhone
defenders could give an example of some concrete thing it might do
that would be interesting, maybe I'd understand their point of why
this device might be interesting for a musician. So far nobody has
done that.

Again, even I think it would be cool to use it like Lemur, but from
what I understand that wouldn't be possible if you can't write your
own programs for it - you'd need to send OSC (I'd even settle for
MIDI). But maybe I'm misunderstanding what you could do with these 3rd
party widgets?

And conversations SHOULD go all over the place. That's what makes them
interesting. My point was that if I had to choose between the two, I'd
probably rather have a pen and a paper, than an iPhone. I'd get more
done with the former. I often code little programs on the bus while
riding to work every day that way, and plan musical compositions too.
