Attachment 14158I love my iPhone.

It's a cool device with lots of free and low-cost apps at my finger tips, but I've been wondering lately if some of these Apps are a good thing.

I mean, why do I need a dedicated New York Times app, for example? Why doesn't the NYT simply detect that I'm on a mobile device in my browser and display a mobile site?

Seems a lot more convenient and cost-effective for everyone (but Apple, that is).

A few weeks ago I received a Google Wave invitation from my friend David Knopf (after publicly begging for one in my post Hoping to Surf the Google Wave).

Since then, I've had a chance to use it and I've seen the good, the bad and the ever-present potential of the tool.
