Let me say it like this. I don’t think we remember Hitler because he was Time’s Man of the Year.

My point is that Time has no credibility.

“I am fighting against the thin client cellphone now that it is being pushed on us by Apple.”

Good man. Fighting is , perhaps, too strong a term for not buying, however. In any case the iPhone will not be a thin client next year when an sdk is released for native applications.

@jonnybruha

Are you claiming that Hitler had no impact on the world? Or that Hitler is a forgotten name, a person that is of no historical reference?

Or are you just evoking Godwin’s Law and equating something you don’t like with Nazis thereby removing the possibility for rational discussion?

Remember when Hitler was Time’s Man of the Year in 1938?

Me too.

I have to admit that Time is letting me down…again. The iPhone, for all of its nice GUI, is but a thin client cellphone–done right, mind you, but still…

I voted against the “thin client” when it was being pushed onto our desktops by Sun and company, and I am fighting against the thin client cellphone now that it is being pushed on us by Apple.

I want to control what is on my phone and when I can use the apps on my phone (like when I am in an area with no GSM service…).

What say you?
