Eh, you mean the third bestselling phone among the smartphones? It’s a huge difference… The iPhone has a long way to go to compete with the hot items like our Nokia and SonyEricsson cell phones from the north of Europe 🙂
Where are the library databases? catalogs? e-book resources (netlibrary, Safari Tech books, ebrary)?
As the owner of a nifty iPod touch who has wireless in the house, I really wish there were more *library* resources reformatted for the iPhone / iPod touch …
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I agree. I assume that folks have written some and that there are mobile library apps. (To be fair, there are a couple there now.) I hope someoe sets up the Mobile Libraries Wiki and starts collecting them and submitting them to Apple so folks can find them.
