We have a cordless phone at home that we don't use very often. Mostly that's because I don't have any numbers programmed into the cordless whereas and I have all my contacts on my iPhone.

So, why hasn't someone made a better cordless phone?

I want a home phone that can sync with the contacts on my Mac via wifi and a small screen with an ipod-style click wheel to navigate -- wouldn't even need a touch screen.

Update: A truly wonderful Genius at the downtown SF Apple Store replaced my iPhone. Hooray!

I was here with the rest of the Movable Type team at the Six Apart offices late last night for the release of MT4 (I'll post about that separately). I was walking back into the conference room where we had our 'war room' set up and I bumped into the table. I didn't think much about it until I realized my iPhone was in my pocket. I took it out and -- horror of horrors -- the glass was cracked. I let out an expletive that can't be repeated here. It was a tough way to end a long day.

I'm hoping that Apple will replace it, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

I bought an iPhone a few days ago and I have to say that it's an impressive little device. The thing that really makes the difference is the browser. For example, when I receive an email with a link to a web page I know that I can just click on it and go check it out directly on the phone. That's something I never did on my Blackberry Pearl.

The application I'd like to see added to the home screen (aside from IM) is a sports tracker where you could see the day's scores for your favorite teams. Blue Flavor has partially addressed that with their baseball Leaflet app.
