Bigger iPhones on the Horizon!!

I Wish I May…
As you may know, iTunes has a potentially evil feature, the Wish List. Evil, you say? Whatever do you mean? I don’t use the iTunes Wish List feature, but if you were to take a look at my wish list at amazon.com (40+ pages; I kid you not), you’d see just how evil the whole concept is!!
My books addiction notwithstanding, Kirk McElhearn provides a pretty good overview of features and pros and cons of the iTunes Wish List. PYBT: How to use the iTunes Wish List.

Who are you and what do you do?
At The Sweet Setup:
Every week we post a new interview with someone about what software they use on their Mac, iPhone, or iPad. We do these interviews because not only are they fun, but a glimpse into what tools someone uses and how they use those tools can spark our imagination and give us an idea or insight into how we can do things better.
Today’s victim, er, interviewee:
My name is Jeffrey Abbott. I’m a technical writer by trade, but work on Draft Evolution and The Sweet Setup at night. I also contribute a weekly post to The Pen Addict, which is an absolute blast.
You can catch Jeffrey’s complete story here: Jeffrey Abbott’s sweet Mac setup.
“Back issues” can be found here: Sweet Setup Interview.
