ZiPhone is a Flash of the iPhone Future

I resisted jailbreak-ing my iPhone for ages -- okay, months -- but finally did not long ago using ZiPhone. Man oh man, is it an eye-opening experience. While the iPhone felt like a platform before, now it is a platform, with hundreds of apps available, from the special to the silly, including some very high-quality stuff indeed.

Sure, things will get better when iPhone 2.0 arrives, including apps built with the SDK, but this flash of the iPhone future -- and of mobile gadgets in general -- is mind-expanding. (And yes, I know I'm late to this realization, but better late than never.)
