    It is fair. If a feature is a necessity you should not buy it. I waited
    until the iPhone had 3g because that was a necessity to me. And I am
    glad I waited. If you buy it anyway don't complain it is missing
    something that one considers a necessity. There is a difference between
    necessities and limitations. Limitations......yes we would like to see
    them changed but we can live with them. A necessity is something you
    have to have.

    That's not fair- all devices have trade-offs. Many people, I'd guess, put
    up with the iPhone's annoying limitations in order to use what they like
    about it.

    The iPhone's strengths, however, don't make it's limitations any less
    annoying.

    Don't try to confuse Lar with facts now. He's down at the Waffle House
    fantasizing about Mabel, the head waitress. He imagines his head encircled
    by her freshly starched apron as she hand-feeds him buttermilk pancakes
    dripping with honey. Yummy!

    wrong.

    just as he said, there are quite a few apps available for a standard,
    off the shelf, non-jailbroken iphone that will stream thousands of
    radio stations. one of them, wunder radio, not only streams broadcast
    radio, but also streams weather radio and police scanner radio (from
    scanamerica.us).

    there are also video streaming apps, including a forthcoming one from
    sling that will connect with a slingbox.

    The childish name calling like the drunks on 75 meters isn't really
    necessary. I've never been a "Lawrence", having been named after my
    father's best friend who died in his arms against the German Afrika Corp
    in World War II. How old are you, 12?

    Your sidestep above is about a CRACKED iPhone, not one delivered by ATT
    to the other 95% of users who cannot play anything over ATT EDGE or
    otherwise. Your cracked iPhone isn't the one being sold. Iphone
    doesn't stream the noted, most popular, codecs, for the reasons in the
    WiMax white paper I've posted today on another thread....

    Whatever word game you like.....

    Will it play the FLASH movies and TV for an hour from hulu.com?
    If Flash is H264, and iPhone plays H264, hulu will play indefinately.
    If it's not, it won't play.

    Flash is also the only thing on http://speedtest.knology.net/
    That doesn't play on iPhone or Storm...so it doesn't play Flash. Flash is
    far more than H264, even if it is H264-based, making your assertion moot.

    Who cares what you call it if it DOESN'T PLAY?

    If copy and paste is a necessity to someone they would not buy an
    iPhone.

    Are you stupid or are you a troll? Or both?

    For you maybe. The Copy and paste is mostly a time saver. 99% of the iPhone
    apps are not a necessity.

    And the reason it get's bigger is they did not add it to it in the first
    place.

    If they did at the start, that list would have been very small.

    Copy and paste is one. After a year and a half where is it ? It must be on
    that long list huh.

    You are like a broken record. It is hard to take you seriously. Every
    day the list of things you can do with the iPhone gets longer.
