Only recently did I joined the creative commons iPhone users and ever since I have enjoyed the rich discussions and ideas of useful software which users can benefit from. Having a hand-help computer at your disposal sometimes empower the user to be able to manage their social/work events better. I can’t wait to see the improved version of the iPhone OS which might be announced at The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference WWDC 08 (lets not forget the iPhone Developer Program) which has been promised to bring us a plethora of cool and must use applications.

I’m happy to hear that the production of Wattson by DIY Kyoto is now in full swing.
