I've got an ipad. Technically it's not mine but property of Brevidius, my work. I only have it to debug a very nasty problem with a videoplayer I've been implementing. I've tried the thing out for about 20 minutes and already hate it. Either my fingers are too clumsy or big or this really is a device that should only be used for simple games, watching videos and reading texts... Ugh.

I have to find out, somehow, why this @#$#@$ player is not displaying the video but only playing the sound. There's no convenient F12 button to open up a webdeveloper toolkit or anything, the only thing I've found so far is that you have to hook up via usb to a normal desktop computer to be able to debug. Joy. I can see a very frustrating future....

I hate mobile devices/handhelds like these. First of all they fuck up social live as it is, people having more interest for their device than the actual people in the room. Second of all they're a danger in traffic. I've had to dodge many a cyclist, pedestrian and even a car once because the people concerned were busy with their tiny little touchscreens. Third it's a royal pain in the arse for developing websites for because most screens are just too small to supply decent sized controls. You have to practically restyle your whole website for a smaller screen. Why the @#$#@$ do people want to browse websites on these inapt devices?

This was only a 20 minute try out... not looking forward to more.
