Jesus Phone needs an exorcist

Andy

Give me a break

Wow... its very telling to see all the window$ ppl attempting (in vein) to point out how superior their OS is. Just take a deep breath, and realize how stupid it sounds to suggest that OSX is anywhere close to being as insecure as Window$.

The iPhone will get hacked. Then Apple will patch it. Making $300 profit on each unit gives them quite a bit of coin to spend on this process. Also remember that it is running on *NIX foundations = roxing stability/security.

I don't have an iphone & i won't buy one at that price. But given what i've seen I'd take an iPhone over some POS windows mobile device.

When 'God Machines' go back to their maker

how i laugh

This article sounds like it's comming from someone trying hard to shake the embarresment of shitcanning the iphone before it was released.... Now, trying desperately to regain some credibility.

It takes a fairly strong "reality distortion field" to get *tech savy* people to drop that much $$$ on a new phone... on a network with such a bad rep... etc etc. I have read review after review, where people rave about the iphone, not based on hype, but practicle experience.

Your "analysis" of the interface is so laughable. Please, Windows mobile prepared the market beautifully for the iphone, lowering everyones expectations. Finally a decent interface comes along and BOOM, look at the pent up demand for something that works 'nicely'.

That "illusion of unquenchable demand" by the way, turned out to be the reality of the phone market.

Sure, as it currently stands local knowledge often wins when it comes to bars etc... but clearly the device has more potential than that... ever heard of Digg.com or delicious?? social nets are growing and a device like this is perfectly placed to extend that growth to the "local knowledge" you are so fond of.
