Members Geoff Grace Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 Interestingly, though, iPhone runs OS X. In other words, it's a phone that's also a computer. Best, Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Geoff Grace Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 Originally posted by alphajerk: onboard as well. That's kind of like saying, "Oh, I see Apple came out with a computer... something that has been out for quite sometime now. how innovative..." iPhone has a lot going on: OS X, Apple applications like Safari, Mail, iTunes, and a touch screen that allows you to use all 10 of your fingers at once. It plays movies, TV shows, music, gives you weather reports and maps, it has a camera, and more. It's kind of like a tiny Apple laptop that doubles as a phone. If you read about it and then dismiss it, then that's your right; but IMHO, iPhone is worth examination. YMMV. Best, Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cell and wireless industry in the US has customer satisfaction/experience ratings in the US that are competitive with "computer tech support" and "cable TV subscriptions". That means that nearly 1/3 are highly dissatisfied with any number of aspects. (coverage, reliability, services, fees, billing, minimums and customer service). And some customers don't like their phones much either. The phonemakers have made most of their feature choices for adolescents. BlackBerry, arguably the phone for grownups, is a joyless scourge. This ZDnet link has a very appealing summary of iPhone features that address some aspect of cell phone suckage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
