a very good read from one the most hardcore Windows Users on the planet.
Paul Thurrott -- June 10, 2008
"I cannot stress this enough: You need to get an iPhone. Sooner rather
than later. With Apple dropping the entry price on this innovative
device to just $200, while fixing all of the major issues I described in
How Apple Can Fix the iPhone in 2008, there are precious few reasons to
ignore this seismic shift in mobile and cloud computing. I've said it
before and I'll say it again: The iPhone is a dramatically important
computing platform and one you should not ignore. Trust me, once you've
used an iPhone, that Blackberry or Windows Mobile device you're settling
on now will seem like ancient Soviet-era technology by comparison."

He should try using one. I dumped the iPhone and went to the BB8830.
You can understand what people are saying on the bb, not so on the
iPhone.

Yebbut, what about that $800 long tail of service obligation...
, while fixing all of the major issues I described in
> How Apple Can Fix the iPhone in 2008,
Yebbut, what about the lack of APPS? Still NO APPS.
Still a fashion accessory, no more.

Guess you didnt see the announcement of the iPhone App store, where
you download apps straight to the iPhone, many of them (like a Reuters
feed) FREE.
http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/appstore.html
Best of all, they're vetted by Apple, so you wont have the issues with
apps causing lockups, like on Palm, Windoze, and RIM devices.

But... but... Steve Carroll wants me to defend the idea that the iPhone is
industry changing. Maybe if he read a thing or two about the device he
would understand.
Then again, speaking out of his other brain he claimed to agree me.
Someday, I hope, he learns to be consistent.

"What bothers me most about that Thurrot site is he posts short "sound
bite" comments with no critical analysis, and hides behind the fact
that
the site does not accept comments. I can see why, since nearly every
one
of his posts would be refuted by relevant facts. Still, the solution
should be for Thurrot to clean up his reporting, not disallow
comments. "

Among many others.
It seems that Paul Thurott's opinion is worthless and
uninformed...unless he says something positive about an Apple product.
Then he becomes a beacon of truth and righteousness cutting through

The XV6800 is what set the bar for Apple's iPhone revision in terms of
features, other than the iPhone's lack of a slide-out keyboard, lack of
a memory card slot, and lack of a user-replaceable battery, the new
iPhone is a worthy competitor.

If it doesnt mirror some trivial Palm app that locks up any Treo,
there's no reasoning with You.
