i have a 3GS and except for some new things like a compass that weren't available 10 years ago i can't think of one feature that it has that hasn't been available on phones/PDA's since the late 1990's
Since when did this site change from macrumors to pcrumors
Do new people not lurk on sites anymore to get a feel for things before griping?
I've been following this site for many years and the admins post non-Apple news on the front page when it pertains to direct competition to an Apple product or when it's of particular interest to those following Apple rumors. This is not new. It's been happening for years.
I'd suggest this be added to a site FAQ but I suspect those who should read it wouldn't bother.
WinMo is behind RIM and Apple. And falling fast. Android will make its descent even sharper. WinMo is dying.

Unfortunately (or not, depending on your perspective), the market, tech analysts, and users decide the definition of innovation. And according to that, the iPhone more than meets it. It's a revolutionary product, bar none.
Thanks for that.
You just made my day! LOL!
But um, yeah... very Pre-ish, which also takes it's design from other phones out there. It's pretty difficult to re-design a slider phone. What major differences can you make? As far as design goes, the iPhone is a candybar phone, made more distinct from it's competitors due to the lack of more buttons across it's bottom, so really, how far can a phone go before there's not much more that can be done.
Both of the phones LOOK like they'd feel great in your hand. The iPhone 3G/S feels a lot better in your hand than the first gen did, but I still dig the "pebble" look that the first phone pictured above has. Looks stylish. I'm not going to be trading in my iPhone for one anytime soon, though.
Off topic: Anyone check out the OS for the new Motorola coming out? Integration with FB, MySpace and all that jazz... contacts all melded together. Just the look of it is appealing to me. Really slick looking.

Oh really? I'd love to see that multi-touch, A/V media playing phone with full featured rich e-mail and a full web browser (not some stripped down WAP) from the late '90s that you speak of. Not to even mention all of the other things an iPhone does that no other phone before it did at all or very well at least.
Not quite, my display hasn't failed twice yet in a year and I'm still on the first battery.

I can say that about 95% of our PC population here (over 15,000 computers) are solid.
Our mac population is around 2000 and its around 85%-90%.
Most of our Mac issues are distorted video, no power, or not waking from sleep.
Most our PC problems are bad HDD or client abuse.
What do you get when you add a U to PRE?
Palm, I think you just ripped off! Flattery won't get you anywhere when M$ steals from you.

Can't take a joke?

Well put! Kudos!
Hmm. Underneath my Macbook would cost you about $2,000 from HP. Why don't you shop first?
While you're at it, you may want to tell Vista to ALLOW a social life.
Ahhh yes, because Safari on the iPhone was the first full web browser in the entire world.
(protipo: it wasn't)Unfortunately you are wrong again. Hype does not translate into innovation.
Is it? I didn't know that. Can you point me to a link (for end of August, or I guees this month)? My info dates from August 17th. I thought that was the most recent.
