That Facebook iPhone interface is really slick - they seem to have optimized almost every major feature into a format that works really well on the screen. This bodes poorly for my productivity, though: since the site is even easier to use now I suspect I’ll be on it far more frequently…

yup. that facebook for iPhone is brilliant. goodbye facebook “mobile”!
now this espn thing. i’m not really quite sure what its talking about. the only thing i could get to work was this:
1) espn.com (via iPhone)
2) find the link for Podcenter in the upper portion of the site and tap.
3) tap on a particular podcast.
4) it starts playing via quicktime (all of this on the iPhone)
is that it? its great and cool and everything, but am i missing something here?

Luke, if you open the page from an iphone, after you do your first 2 steps, on the top right is a big ad for iphone users. Click on that, and it takes you to the iphone-centric page. You still just click on a podcast and it plays via quicktime (which is cool enough, since you don’t need a computer as a middleman), but it does it through an iphone-like interface. I really like it.
