That seems like a lot of work just to protect the comics to be sent out. You also have to figure that any mail box that I have ever owned would require that the books be folded.

I think digital is the way for comics to go. There are plenty of of digital services that might be adapted to the comic book market.

I think the Twitter client landscape has really changed in 2010. New approaches and design strategies have yielded some remarkable new Twitter clients.

Shades of the drawing program I demoed at the SVJUG 10+ years ago, I whipped up a Canvas based drawing program:

Network: I actually think I’d hand this one to the iphone, on the strength of AT&T being GSM, not CDMA. For the globe-trotters among us this is a big deal.

Customization: You are, of course, absolutely right – I just wanted to emphasize this one a little more, as I think it’s important.

Keyboard: I think that this one is a clear win for the droid. The existence of the hardware keyboard is huge for me, as I’ve always struggled with the on-screen variety. I had been worried at first, since the reviews of the keyboard were not entirely positive, but I’ve found it to be almost perfect. The droid’s software keyboard is easily modified by an app (and there are already several around), where of course the iphone would not expose that functionality (back to the customization issue). So I’d say whatever shortfall the droid has is software-related, and thus temporary – whereas I highly doubt the iphone will ever add a hardware keyboard.

Screen: I’d also give this one to the droid. Perhaps they haven’t exploited all their advantages yet, but someone will. When the hardware is superior to the software, I just assume the software will come around eventually.

Battery: I’m not blown away by the battery life. My droid had a tough day yesterday, as people were of course eager to try it out. I think the ~2 hours of video games my friend played on it also didn’t help. However, I think the droid deserves at least a small win for having a replaceable battery. I don’t know how much they cost, but it’s nice to have the option.

Unmentioned: Micro-USB! I realize that at this point Apple has dominated to the extent that apple cords are almost as ubiquitous as USB, but I have to give them credit for using a standardized jack.

Thanks for the post tho, it gives me hope that more than eight is possible
