Markdown Issues and the iPhone
One of the things that I’m testing right now is to make sure that this post via email actually works. For the most part it works (although the timing is less than instant, which is annoying - but a minor issue). What’s actually more annoying however is the fact that markdown doesn’t work. For all those in the dark, Markdown is a nice little plugin/code or whatever developed by John Gruber (the Oprah for Macs). I’ve always wanted something like this, but ultimately the implementation on various blogging platforms WordPress was always shitty.
Now with a new shiney Habari plugin, I’m hoping that it all actually works correctly. So this is basically a test to see if I use normal text formatting in gmail will resolve some of the problems I’ve had with markdown actually working via email. So rather than annoying you with the test, I’ll also put a list of things that I would like implemented on the iPhone:
More sensitive touch screen, so that when I'm drawing everything is picked up instantly (it's better I'm assuming than other phones, but not good enough to be intuitive for drawing everything).
Better multitasking. Current implementation doesn't really work the way it was intended. It just means all of my apps are open until I close them. It should have an option for when they should be closed, like every day or every three days or whatever.
Be a smarter phone. You know, the HTC desire has this awesome feature where the ring is dropped to a lower level when you pick up your phone, and you can mute it when you turn it over, it's just a smarter way of using your phone and nothing that isn't possible for Apple to create and continue to be smart in this field.
Better integration with Google stuff. Yeah like that's going to happen, right, but I can ask for it dammit.
Okay, lets see if the above works or not.
