- [The Quandary](http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2010/01/the-quandry.html)
    
    "The quandary I am facing is the one I've always faced in the Blackberry vs iPhone debate. I cannot type nearly as fast on a screen as a keyboard. I've given the Google phone a month. That's about as long as I've ever given the iPhone." – the quandary, indeed.

- [Rough Type: Nicholas Carr's Blog: Everybody's appy nowadays](http://www.roughtype.com/archives/2010/01/everybodys_appy.php)
    
    "The question that will be answered in the years ahead is this: Is write-once-run-anywhere the destiny of software, or was it an anomaly?" – or, as is generally the case, history cyclical, and this just a swing of the pendulum? there is no "destiny" to markets, no permanent end state. the rise of Microsoft post-IBM, the rise of Google post-Microsoft, provide us with strong evidence that what today looks like need not – and indeed is unlikely to – be predictive of what 10 years from now looks like.

    there are legitimate, not too mention important, questions to be asked about the lock-in model. but i think Manjoo significantly underestimates both the appeal and the benefits of centralized account access.the paradox of choice still applies.
