Good. Charging $0.40 for what amounts to a tweet deserves blindsiding.

There’s a billion and one “free texting” apps on iOS already. It’s not like this is that out of the ordinary. The only difference is that people will actually use this one rather than trying to figure out which friend has which free texting app.

No fundamental difference between an SMS-free text message and an email, it’s just presentation (and some specifics at the transport level).

Steve: You know, the iCloud sounds really swell and all, and not having to plug into the Mac to sync the iDevices is a welcome feature, but I’d really prefer to have a local “home based” cloud with the option of allowing certain content out to the larger cloud while retaining local control.

Now I realize that might prevent me of getting updates done at home by other family members while I’m out, but I’m willing to risk it.

Sword: so far I’ve not heard much in the way of details on such an issue. Any insights?
