Thanks to BraveNewCode for the cool plug-in WPtouch.
Currently the WPtouch plug-in supports the following devices: iPhone, iPod touch, Android, Palm Pre/Pixi, and BlackBerry Storm.
I would recommend this great plug-in to anyone using WordPress. Now there is no excuse not to support touch based smartphones on your blog.
Next task a better syntax highlighter WP plug-in. Any recommendations? You know what to do.

Before templates to create a reusable UI, you really only had the options of user controls or writing your own Html helpers, the former will almost certainly mean a compromise. I believe the templating feature will assist in the goals of separation of concerns and being DRY.

Just downloaded the official release of Visual Studio 2010 and nearly fell of my chair, when I saw that the new download manager is a Java Applet. Is Microsoft going soft? Or are we starting to see vendors use the best technology for the job, rather than what company developed the technology. I would of loved to be a fly on the wall in the meeting when it was suggested! Good on Microsoft.
