There is an xkcd iOS app that shows the rollover text.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
If you view xkcd from its mobile site m.xkcd.com, there is an (alt-text) link next to the title of the comic. Tap on that, and the alt text will be displayed.

There's also an xkcd app. I have it on my phone.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Excellent! Thank you all for the info.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
wow, it's like we are all xkcd fans or something. Strange. Hmmm, maybe we should think about opening a thread for it.

I am thinking of joining the world of the iphone. I will probably be using verizon, because the person I call/text the most is on verizon.
Considering I have wi-fi at home, work, and theatre, but I go on the internet for 2 hours on the bus, do you think 2G of data will be enough. I probably won't stream video on the bus, as it will cause people to talk to me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm surprised at how little data I use on my iPhone. I'm on AT&T and have the 5G data plan, because that's the only AT&T plan that includes the Mobile Hotspot functionality.
I seem to be using about 10% of that. However, I don't watch videos or movies on my iPhone.
I use the internets on my iPhone about an hour each day that I take the train to work. Mostly I read blogs on Google Reader. Since I do it using the Mobile Hotspot for my laptop, I don't use the mobile version of Reader.

sophia,
I think Verizon will let you up your limit mid-cycle if you start to run out, yes?

Thanks. I don't know about verizon--I would be switching from t-mobile.
Also, is the kindle app for iphone OK? My kindle screen just perma-froze (this is the 3rd kindle I have had since December) and I can pay $85 for a refurb or get a new one. I have read 92 books on it, so it is worth it, I guess, since 82 of them were library books. On the other hand, I can just go to the library and get books now that it s summer.
