<p>Since the early announcement of <a href="http://www.binarynights.com/forklift">ForkLift</a>, I have kept a close eye on the development, and have helped with various stages of beta testing. Along with <a href="http://macromates.com/">TextMate</a>, ForkLift has been in my daily workflow for years now. It&rsquo;s incredibly fast, reliable, and does just about everything I need from local and remote file management. I couldn&rsquo;t imagine working without it at this point. Yesterday they released the <a href="http://www.binarynights.com/blog/forklift_blog/the-second-coming-of-file-management-beta.html">first public beta of ForkLift 2</a>, a huge upgrade to the already-capable 1.7.</p>

<p>The list of new features in Forklift 2 is impressive:</p>

<li>Transmit 4 changed all their toolbar icons to Leopard-ish monotone buttons. I&rsquo;m honestly not sure which I like better. ForkLift hired folks to make big, custom, colored icons, which are nice, but I really feel like this is an older element of OS X that might be heading the way of pinstripes, brushed steel, and overglossy reflections.</li>

<p>Overall, Transmit 4 is a very nice upgrade, but to me it really feels like a very pretty FTP app with limited functionality. In comparison, ForkLift feels much more powerful and useful, less expensive, and has all the features I&rsquo;d ever use in Transmit.</p>

<p>I was lucky enough to convince my friend <a href="http://rdklinc.com/">John</a> to pay for a relaunch of his website (still in the works) with an iPad. The idea was that he could play with it for a few weeks while I worked on the site, then hand it over when the site was done. This sort of worked, but only if you ignore the “still in the works” parenthetical above.</p>
<p>In short: it’s an amazing albeit not-quite-magical device. Along with many other folks, I mostly look forward to seeing what apps come out, as well as the refinements in OS updates from Apple.</p>
<p>The sentiment that the <a href="http://db.tidbits.com/article/11152">iPad becomes whatever app is running</a> is a very astute observation. It’s a blank slate of touch-sensitive glass with no OS chrome which transforms into all sorts of different devices driven by the best mobile software to date.</p>
<h2>How do you hold this thing?</h2>
<p>I <a href="http://twitter.com/natebeaty/status/11620692413">twatted</a> about how ridiculous it sounded to hear complaints of fatigue from holding a 1.5lb device for any length of time. Of course, I must now eat my words. It’s <i>just</i> heavy enough to make it uncomfortable after about 20 minutes.</p>
<p>Easily the most awkward thing about the iPad is figuring out how to hold it — while typing, watching a movie, browsing the web, playing Scrabble, etc — as well as where to set it down when you’re done. I have the Apple case on order ($46 after taxes and shipping: ouch!), so perhaps that will mostly solve these issues. I’ve never had a case for my iPhone and never felt the need.</p>

<h2>The unstoppable demon Qwerty lives on</h2>
<p>I’m in awe we’re still relying on Qwerty in 2010, a keyboard layout thrown together in 1868 in a<a href="http://www.dvzine.org/zine/02-03.html">largely random arrangement</a> to avoid jamming of mechanical key levers. A century and a half later, it’s still our primary input method on the sexiest computing device man has created? Really?</p>

<p>I&rsquo;ve spent a lot of time in these apps. Mostly <a href="http://macromates.com/">TextMate</a>, which over the last 6 years has been my daily workhorse. The Firefox logo may as well be for <a href="http://getfirebug.com/">Firebug</a>, the only reason I use it.</p>

<p>Developers must be seriously ambivalent about their users now being able to purchase and update software over the web. Gone are the days when you sweated a bug-free shipping release that was pressed to a permanent medium, boxed up and set out on shelves. Release early and release often is the new chant of the user, especially the latter part. That and &ldquo;I can&rsquo;t live without the auto-syncing iPhone companion app!&rdquo;</p>
