Stephen Fry on the iPhone, Bold, Storm, and G1

For his sparky wit, his flawless prose, and his unabashed geekiness, I think Stephen Fry should be given the title of honorary hacker.

He's a hacker by my definition. He's very bright, he thinks about a lot of things, and he tinkers with everything. There's more to hacking than writing code, and Fry's messed with humor and the English language more than enough to get the title.

iPhone version of Safari to be Flash capable.

Noooooo!!! I am actually hoping that the growing dominance of Apple will accelerate the death of Flash. I bet we already seeing the benefit of an iPhone - how many web projects have made a conscious decision to stick to standards-compliant tech in order to be easier available for an iPhone/Touch? I bet quite a few.

And how many developers have instead opted to make an iPhone-specific version that does not work on other browsers or phones ?

I agree. I very much doubt flash will ever come to the iPhone, I'd put my money on HTML5 <video> etc getting there first, in which case flash will be obsolete.

"Watching someone writing an email on a Storm is like watching an antelope trying to open a packet of cigarettes." - Hilarious.

Any chance that the Blackberry Bold could be given an Android personality?

I've had a chance to play with the device itself. But RIM's software is kind of, less than thrilling.
