Quisition Works Great on iPhone
I just went through a Quisition deck on my iPhone and it worked great.
One of my goals has always been to have flashcards on the go and Quisition on the iPhone gives me that, without any modification to Quisition needed.
If the iPhone had a custom SDK, it would have taken me weeks (or even months) to port Quisition. It may have been slicker, but you can't beat something just working, with no additional effort required. And a certain amount of slickness can always be added later via an alternative stylesheet triggered by user agent.

Got My iPhone
Apple sure knows how to put on a show.
I headed down to the Apple store at the Burlington Mall around 4.30pm. Ended up being 100th in line. Some people had been in line since the morning (which turned out to be completely unnecessary).
Was around 6.20pm before I made it in the store. I was greeted by a handful of Apple Store employees who cheered and clapped me. They made each one of us who had been in line feel like a celebrity. All that was missing was the red carpet.
The on the way out, more cheers and clapping. To top it off, I was then interviewed by a local paper.
Some people thought I was crazy buying it today. The atmosphere made it all worth it.
Will report more once I've actually tried it out.
UPDATE (2007-07-06): The Lowell Sun has the story online. That's my hand, drink, and iPhone bag in the first photo :-)
