and that one email described to a "T" exactly the market that the iPhone
is
aimed at.
Any Nokia that can do MMS is ahead of the iPhone, any phone that can use
ANY
mp3 as a ring tone is ahead of the iPhone
iPhone = no Java, Bluetooth file transfer, voice recording, third party
apps, video capture, FM radio, 3G, the list goes on.
Most of that is sup****ted by even my sons 2 year old Motorola !! and the
things it does have are really only gimmicks, sure it sup****ts youtube,
but
it will take a couple of hours to download the video via the "special"
browser using EDGE technology in Australia, and then there is nowhere to
store it but internal memory as the iPhone has no sup****t for external
storage like micro/mini SD card, no user replaceable battery. why anyone
would want an iPhone except to show off is a mystery to me, but then I
suppose the "look at me" factor is something some people consider.
