Mintpad - post it notes for the 21st Century!

Alright, I've got to admit, I sometimes did enjoy writing entertaining little notes or heck, even little pictures, on post-it notes, and sticking them to a friend's monitor or possessions, and then awaiting the reply. It had this odd little bit of character to it that the ever so convienient email or text message lacks.

So now, some ex-iRiver bods have got together in order to bring back the joys of postits electronically, with a device called the mintpad. It has all your ordinary MP4 player functions, including expandable memory via SD cards, but also allows the user to write little messages on it's touch screen, and beam them across they net to people all over the world.

I think it's quite neat really, but is there really demand for something like this? Unlikely...

I'm a little Jealous of the T-Mobile G1 Today

Honestly, despite the hype surrounding the Google phones, Android, and the T-Mobile G1, I have had almost no interest what-so-ever. That changed just a little bit today. Graham Stewart, a programmer from Ohio, has developed a proxy application that will allow a user to tether a laptop to his/her phone for road-warrior surfing goodness.

That's right, the G1 will allow tethering. My iPhone allowed tethering for a day. That is before AT&T and Apple freaked out and yanked the Netshare application from the iTunes store. It would appear that the T-Mobile and Google don't have any reservations about letting the G1 be used the way God intended 3G phones to be used.

I am still not sold on the G1, and I couldn't imagine going to T-Mobile where I live, but I must admit that as new handsets come out, and more functionality explodes across the smartphone universe, my iPhone is losing some of its luster.

What do you think? What functionality is missing from your favorite phone, and on what phone do you find it on?
