So my iPhone 4 impression after a weekend with it is pretty much it is very slick and fast. We have all read about all the great stuff, but a few nagging things still remain.
First is the fact that you have to switch to another app to send texts, which sucks. It was one of the key reasons I jailbroke my old iPhone 3G. At lest now some apps can be backgrounds so I dont lose everything but we need to be able to send text inside of an app.
Camera is a lot faster, but still a bit slow to load. Tho some reports this is a bug and could be fixed, but they said that about the older iPhones as well :\
Also I found a nasty bug with the backgrounding, it seemed some app locked up the GPS and caused it to hang and it would not release it. Which caused the phone to slow down, and the GPS would not work with any app. Only fix was to shut down and restart. Should have a “Shut all Apps” button.
Just a few initial thoughts on the iphone

Makers Make Fair
So this year I signed up to volunteer with iFixit to help them at Maker Fair and one of the perks is you can come in to the Makers Only event Friday so I dropped by to take a preview look and to lend I hand to the iFixit guys. I ended up hooking up their mini network for the demo and taking a few photos and video, include this cool egg machine which you can view

Microsoft Exchange 2010 and Linux? Thunderbird (and xdata-provider) to the rescue!
As much as open source guys like myself love to bash on MS, there is just something they do right. And if its not right, sometimes they are just the only guys in town. And one of those things in Microsoft Exchange. No one has yet been able to replicate the full experience of Outlook + Exchange in terms of calendaring and E-Mail, especially if your looking for a non-cloud solution. Hell even many Web 2.0 companies who are ready to accept non-Microsoft products have a hard time walking away from Exchange. But in that case you might run in to a case you might have a Exchange Server but a Client using Linux, and that is what I ran in to helping LinkedIn move to Exchange 2010. So what are you to do? Well we got a fix for you.
