I just had the virtual identical experience from switching from the Walgreens to CVS and I am noticing that the Mylan brand really does work myth better. Also, they started to work almost immediately instead of the 6-8 hoers it takes to kick in. Again, I agree 100%! I couldn’t agree more.

The ones that did thought Apple was finished. Yet Steve Jobs was praised as if it was his idea all along.Kinda like when Apple opened a web store only after jailbreaking happened, because supposedly Apple's original plans were for app makers to make web apps that ran in Safari.

I just installed the Twitter client on App Store and it added a goofy looking bird to my menu bar. So *their* (i.e. Sparrow's) solution doesn't work. They have to use the Apple API. And apparently the Apple API allows this. So maybe it's not as "feature full" an API as they (Sparrow) would like.Ok, I get it. The Apple API isn't exactly what developers want. But I've seen Apple bend over backwards to get their API as close as possible. I'm not sure what the beef is *other* than they *could* screw people.And yes, if you are one lonely developer who wants a certain feature in the API, Apple won't listen to you. So go write your own OS. It's been done. In fact, it’s not that bad. I just installed the Twitter client on App Store and it added a goofy looking bird to my menu bar.

Most of the time, I don't want anything other than Apple items in my menu bar if it's up to me. And I guess that's because Steve says it's bad (like crossing the streams).

Nobody gives a rip what Apple (or Microsoft etc.) want when it comes to developing apps. As long as your app provides something useful to end users and you can make it work AND make it stable users couldn't care less if it is hacked. And who does Steve hurt with this crap? The end user, but not enough for anyone to care. I couldn't disagree more with your assessment of the situation. Steve has proved quite resilient when it comes to fighting off apps that don't play by his rules in the iOS App Store. If a developer pulls a fast one it won't be long before the app is pulled from the store. In turn the developer will fall in line or offer two versions of their app (assuming Steve allows them to do so).And let's not play games. You hide it well, but I know you better than most people that might read this. We both know you fall into the second group of fanboys I mentioned in the first paragraph. I know I must be a disappointment to you as an Apple protege. :) Apple’s stance on the menu bar has appropriately been a moot point…until now.

They used to fight with developers more, but since they couldn't control third party developers' use of third party libraries, the developers would always win.But I'm sure someone will still find a way to gain access to the menu bar, even for App Store apps. It's a setback, and I give them six months, tops. I also don't expect app developers to put their official name on the solution they find, so expect to have to execute a shell command in order to kick it off, until they find a more elegant approach.

If I knew I was going to use it at certain times, like the summer months or the school semester then I might consider it, but to just have the option available I'm not sure. There are lots of Wi-Fi hotspots out there these days. Version 2.0 will have a camera, but with any luck it will also drive the price of 1.0 units down and I might just buy it then as an ebook reader.

And you are spot on with the home screen looking goofy. However, I love the prepaid data plans for short term, mobile browsing needs away from home. Will likely wait for V2 to see how things shake out though. Not a total fail this round, but certainly not a slam dunk either.
