Yo @CorpseFire Some plugs don’t seat into the device. Shrug. Minor problem. I am >very< happy w/Iphone4. The twitter app is great, too, btw.
LOL #squeet @amergina “Squittering” = cool word Stephen King used in The Shining. Could have said ‘skittering’ but the k wasn’t q enough.
@troilee I do not regret iphone. My reception isn’t perfect, but your droid will eat you with invisible teeth when you’re not looking.
iphone4 bumpers rock and I’m glad they’ll be rebated; but note that they limit your charger and earphone jack options.
At #Alpha2010 we analyzed the word ‘squittering.’ Which sounds like twittering. So consider this message the world’s first squeet!
