The iPhone is a computer, your saying otherwise doesn't make it so.
A blackberry/ Treo is as much of a computer as a iPhone. If I want
a real computer, I'll spend the $600 for a used laptop.
Apple has never yearned to be the market leader. Look at Dell's razor thin margins and its depressed stock price. What's the point in being the largest computer maker if you don't make money?
If Apple is trying to swim upstream by pissing off cell phone
carriers, it is just one more obstacle to the success of this device.
Once again, this isn't simply a cell phone but a high end, portable computing device. Sure, the makers of cheap phones all have problems but the makers of premium products don't. See above.
IMO its only premium in its looks. As far as functionality, I am fine w/
a Blackberry/ Treo. A ferrari is a premium product too, but
Toyota outsells it 100 to 1. & a Toyota will get you there more
reliably than a Ferrari will.
Steve wouldn't have named it the iPhone if he wasn't assured of Apple being able to acquire the name.
Why would the FCC turn them down?
I'm just saying its not the slam dunk you guys claim it to be
Just as the iPod and iTMS transformed music, so will the iPhone transform communication.
How exactly will it transform communitcation ? Will it translate
your voice into a different language?
Will it let you talk to space aliens?? No- it cant really do anything
as far as email/ internet/ & phone that you cant already do w/
current technology. Touch screens have been out forever, &
the public hasnt accepted them. This is a pretty phone, this is a cool
phone, but its NOT a revolutionary phone.
The way you are constantly trashing the iPhone makes me believe that you are nothing more than a shill for all the low end cell phone and computer makers out there.
I'm just trying to cut through the hype in BS- I'm more impressed
in the the looks of the phone, & the fact Apple was able to keep this
all a secret than the actual functionality of the phone. W/ my current
phone I can already do email/ internet/ phone/ music / &Video.
The fact I dont have a touch screen is a GOOD THING imo.
If it weren't for Apple's constant innovation, we would still be in the dark ages of computers.
Being innovative is one thing, not serving the needs of the market
is another thing.
