As usual, I was right there during the Steve Jobs keynote, letting his patented Reality Distortion Field warp my sensibilities. For a while I thought, hey, $600 for a 8 GB iPod with a phone in it isn't a bad deal at all.
Since then, however, a number of things have taken the gloss off Steve's new pet project. Things like Apple-only applications running on the phone (i.e. no cool third-party apps or hacks), no buying songs and putting them right on the iPhone, and even the possibility that you won't be able to use your own purchased songs as a ringtone (gotta protect Cingular-AT&T's ringtone revenues, of course).
But now this news from Engadget that the iPhone "widescreen" aspect ratio isn't really 16:9 widescreen, but is some funny ratio inbetween 4:3 and 16:9. Of course with a blog called Aspect Ratio, I would be remiss if I did not help spread this word far and wide. Well, you know, as far and wide as this thing goes, which is neither far nor wide. Anyhow, just read the link, OK?
