Something I wrote in the margins of Language Production and Serial Order: A Functional Analysis and a Model:
perseverations as future-oriented error?
present activation entangling w/ future priming?
I think, if anything, today’s xkcd sold me against getting a DROID. Why is a physical keyboard a selling point? I really like Apple’s decision to make all but the most basic buttons virtual. It allows the phone to maintain the same form factor, and with fewer moving parts that’s just one less thing I have to worry about breaking. Granted, Android is an open source platform, which is good from the developer side of things. And running multiple apps at the same time would be nice (or even just having multiple web pages loading at the same time). But for some reason I just can’t look past the physical keyboard. It seems like a red flag of lazy design, so who knows what other horrors may await? In the end, I’ll wait to see what the early adopters think before casting a final judgement. Part of the reason I’ve been looking at the DROID is that my Gen 1 iPhone is getting kinda old. But since there is little price difference between the DROID and new iPhones, I’m more inclined to stick with Apple.
Migration projects, regardless of the number of exclamation points you put, are never exciting.
