Why iPhone is worth the money - Things you don't need to buy

are you sure about that? Seems right to me. So how many of these posts of yours should I report before you stay on topic?

Easy buddy... I'm just pullin' your leg. But just so we're clear you didn't use a period.

And to everyone crapping on the checkbook idea, I'm sure he was referring to the multiple apps you can use to keep an up-to-date balance. PocketLint, for instance, let's you track eight (that's right, 8!!) account balances.

Is that better??

I see you quoted something I said claiming that I actually had something I said I didn't, so I hit CTRL+F and typed: "an iPhone is a practical way to write a complex higher education essay" hoping that you actually did find me saying that, but nothing came up. So I skipped reading the rest of the stuff you wrote.

I said in the first sentence of my reply that you didn't say that. I said based on the way you structured your reply that you were using the posters inability to type fast as an excuse for the posters claim that you can't type a thesis essay. Thus meaning that you have tackled this feat of typing a thesis essay in the past and have completed it efficiently and to a quality that is worthy of a college essay.

sorry for making that comment about reporting you. you're right though that's what I meant by replacing a checkbook.
Krato - Fine! The iPhone can never really replace a work processor/laptop, but it's nice for quick note taking.

I agree with you there.

haha at the person saying they can type 70wpm on their iphone. i type 100wpm on a keyboard and would be lucky to hit 20 on an iphone.

Jeez, you're a good typer. I can only make 70wpm with 92% accuracy. But I'm proud to say that I got those words wrong because I spelt them the English way, not the American way. e.g. Color/ Colour.

I seriously laughed out loud. Well played, sir.

To put this back on topic, some more:

- Metronome (my sister plays high-level piano with a Metronome app)
- Thermometer (sorta?)
- Radio (sorta?)
- Bar code scanner
- Credit card scanner (with accessory support)
- Laser-level for construction
- Weight recorder
- Diabetic thing
- Gym log
- Gym exercise chart
- Blood pressure recorder
- VoIP
- Portable DVD player
- One of those solely used for email devices
- Text book (I have my text book saved to my iPhone)
- Todo recorder

That's just some off my head.

For the record, in regards to word processing on the iPhone, it's certainly doable. It by no means replaces a laptop, I'd take it any day over the iPhone for word processing, however in the case where I had to type like a one page report, and I lacked my laptop and had my iPhone with DocsToGo on it, it might be a bit tedious, but I could definitely do it, and hey, I have. It's actually quite convenient for other languages with the easily addable accents. You could edit a document as well.

So yeah, we'd all prefer a laptop or normal sized keyboard in general, but the iPhone could do it if you had to.
