To follow up:
- With stories like this, I really really hope what Walt (I think) pointed out is right, and they announce a new iPod Touch in a month or two. After all, they did it with the original iPod Touch, announcing it in September after the iPhone came out in June. OTOH maybe “we fixed all the design bugs with the iPhone!” includes fixing the need for a phoneless iPod Touch.
- Jesse Gardner posted directions and an awesome icon for doing the Fluid menu extra thing with the iMT app for Movable Type. Nice! I found how to fix the icon problem I had by digging around inside a generated FluidInstance. You can also set whether the FluidInstance defaults to a regular SSB or a menu extra, which I was hoping to do to make a distributable FluidInstance for an iPhone app... but the developer asks that you not do that, which makes me rather less excited about Fluid when wearing my web app developer hat.
Jonathan Gitlin at Ars Technica's Infinite Loop mentions what I've been mulling since Monday: the iPod Touch is now a pretty bad deal. The price is higher but the TCO is lower... as long as you don't have a cell phone. I'm not so hot on the new AT&T deal, so I would definitely probably maybe order a 16 GB iPod Touch with GPS at $300. But $410, with no GPS? I hope there's another shoe to drop.
In other Mac news, I had ignored Fluid, but read about it today when I thought it was something else. The Menu Extra feature looks great for iPhone apps like Blog It.
