I'm a Flash Developer and, like many other Flash devs, I don't use Adobe's tools (I use FDT, which isn't free, but isn't Adobe either).

I agree that Flash isn't as open as many people would like, but it is way, way more open than the iPhone ecosystem.

"The $600 Flash authoring tool is the only way to produce Flash applications."

FlashDevelop : Free. OS Flex Compiler : Free.

If you're going to flame, at least know what you're talking about.

I'm guessing you're on the G1?

I picked up an HTC Hero (More or less the G3, but I don't think out in the US yet) yesterday. The way it's going, I think I may love this phone more than my child.

Most of your problems are gone with this generation. It even has a standard headphone jack.

Android is catching up, fast.

Ask HN: Bad habits 17 years ago

I quit that years ago (almost).

Start by not biting one nail (left pinkie is good). Get that down (take pride in it. make it your friend :) ), then 'save' the left ring finger too. Carry on up the hand, but jump to stopping the whole left hand as soon as you're confident (become a right hand biter!).

Then move on to the right hand pinkie etc.

I made it as far as my right thumb, which I still chew when I'm thinking.
