How come it took them so long? That’s the first place I look for anything these days (especially if I’m looking for cat-nipples).

I don’t know how well I rocked EAB yet, but I know that I rocked it enough. The Sam is back in play, best play a defensive card and roll initiative. (I have no idea how that got in there. I’m not even a D&N nerd, I swear!)

In related news, just as it seems Apple’s finally getting their act together Nokia goes and drops a phone that does freaking everything!

Seriously dude, GPS, 30fps VGA video, dedicated music controls, WiFi, fucking all of it! It even has a separate GPU (which should mean the UI is actually responsive this time). If nothing else, a five mpx camera with a decent lens should finally replace all but the coolest consumer digicams.

It will be interesting to see what Apple comes up with, if indeed they come up with anything (how long have we been anticipating an iPhone for?). Naturally it’ll be a much more consumer-oriented device, available in white or black – no wifi or GPS here.

In fact, I kind of expect Apple would totally pare-down the functionality of a phone to the bare essentials. Calling, music, photos, that’s your lot. Well, it might well play these newfangled iPod games too? I can even see them chucking peripheral stuff like SMS and WAP in the same way they omitted a floppy disk drive from the first iMac – it’s not like Americans use sms much anyway, and who uses WAP for anything?
