Yeah, I can just see me trying to write code on an iPhone. But in any case, the thing I value with my n900 is that, if I need to take my work with me, I can edit text in vim on my mobile device. Not a vim-like app, not a cut-down, finger-painting-optimized version of vim; no, the full-blown desktop version of the program. And, with a hardware keyboard and a high-resolution stylus, I have no trouble doing real work with it.

Apple really is making every effort to integrate their iPod / iPhone / iPad experience with their OS X experience, and I give them credit for that. But yeah, iOS is its own weird system, not the same as OS X, with different apps and a different UI.

Man, why does it have to be different? Why do I have to give up my desktop applications? (This is a question for Sailfish as well, I guess...)

I guess I don't have anything personal against using the cloud myself. However, I also don't see any need for the cloud to be sticking its nose into my business if it doesn't need to. I've got plenty of local storage on my desktop machines, and can easily connect my mobile devices to my desktop machines, given that I'm sitting right next to them most of the time...
