Have you seen the new iPhone 4S?
It’s beautiful, amazing, simplistic, sheik, and did I mention identical to the iPhone 4. That’s right, identical…
When I watched the unveiling the other day of the new iPhone I was blown away by all the enhanced features in iOS 5, Siri, dual antenna bands, and the identical body design. I’m not really sure how the design of the phone could be made better, thinner, bigger screen? Speaking with a close friend, Matt Reed the other evening he brought up a great point about screen size and thumb size. Matt mentioned how the iPhone is not only designed around your pointer fingers, but your thumbs too. When you hold the iPhone in your hand your thumb can easily reach any corner on the screen.
But anyway, back to our subject, exterior design. The exterior of a product isn’t always changed every year, look at the Mac Pro which has held the same exterior appearance since 2006.
When a design is great, why change it?

Has Gowalla considered Item Sharing?
While checking in at a local spot tonight I thought of something cool Gowalla could possibly implement in the mobile application. My Idea: Attaching items to “Notes” left at checkin locations. How great would it be to be able to attach an item to a note that you were leaving for a friend! It’d be so much fun to be able to easily share and exchange items between friends. What do you think?
