Apple fan or not, I really like this post by Mark Pilgrim. Once I got past the shock of a platform that made me do it myself, I pretty much made a career out of building things from code and from words. I wish there was more i could do to create things by manipulating what is within my Touch (or eventually) the iPad, but I now think the device is simply a way to get to the environment within which you create. What I now ask of a device is that it allows me to manipulate the tools that are online. If the device is for consumption, I would regard it as too limiting. If the device allows me to generate stuff efficiently and cost-effectively then I am in for a full share.
