Cocoa Touch vs. Cocoa

What I would love is to transfer my iPhone/iPad knowledge to the Desktop. Some of these applications would look fantastic and work perfectly if they could be ported as is straight to the Desktop. I love the look and feel of the iPad application. Applications are a breeze to put together once you understand iPhone/iPad development. It would be brilliant if the universal binary could extend to the Desktop.

USA

After a 2 year journey that took me to the United Kingdom it feels good to be back in the United States. There were a few interesting tech companies to follow in Europe (Spotify, Skype, Opera, Layar), but I seemed to spend most of my time looking across the Atlantic.

Finger Pointing

For 30 years I've grown accustomed to using a tool to write text. I use either a keyboard or a pen. The simple gesture of using your index fingers to draw objects and text should be easy but it's not. Unfortunately it's faster, cleaner and more precise to touch a button on the screen and get a nice clean character to appear at a specified location as opposed to drawing it with an index finger. I don't like the stylus either but until we have software assisted sketching maybe that is the answer.
