I was never a huge fan of the Firefox browser for Mac. I wanted to be – it’s open-source, has add-ons, great tabbed browsing, etc. – but it simply wasn’t suited for the Mac. It didn’t look like the other Mac apps, it was a bit heavier than Safari, etc.
Then they released Firefox 3.0, and that all changed. Now it’s prettier than Safari, it’s fast, and I get all the advantages of Firefox’s add-ons, etc. Now I use it exclusively.

I’ve bitched about the iPhone a lot in the last two posts, but I should point out that I was actually able to set up this blog through WordPress.com, and then post to it, moderate comments, etc… all from my iPhone. Additionally, there’s a pretty decent free WordPress app on the App Store that lets me manage my posts from a native application, and that, my friends, is awesome in the extreme.
Granted, there are ways to do this from a BlackBerry – I can load the dashboard in the Browser and there’s always the post-by-email option – but it’s simply not as elegant as a native application.
