    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."

    much more here....

    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. "

    "Seems that Mr. Thurrot doesn't understand a lot of stuff: "
    http://groups.google.com/group/comp....f?dmode=source

    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 night. And the Maccies wonder why we are so amused by them. 8)

    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.
