Honestly, what difference does it make after seeing it done so many times. It's even funnier when the commenter types "FIRST" only to be second or third.

Next time use something like "Leader of the pack" or "I'm #1" or "Follow the leader" just to change the pace.]]>Jul 14th 2008 10:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/apple-says-turn-by-turn-gps-coming-to-iphone-copy-paste-not-a/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/apple-says-turn-by-turn-gps-coming-to-iphone-copy-paste-not-a/Jul 25th 2008 12:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/apple-says-turn-by-turn-gps-coming-to-iphone-copy-paste-not-a/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/apple-says-turn-by-turn-gps-coming-to-iphone-copy-paste-not-a/Jul 14th 2008 7:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/apple-says-turn-by-turn-gps-coming-to-iphone-copy-paste-not-a/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/apple-says-turn-by-turn-gps-coming-to-iphone-copy-paste-not-a/
If Copy/Paste isn't a high priority, then Apple needs to make it one. What is so difficult about storing a text string into memory? If someone texts me an address or some name I need to remember I'd like to copy it into an email somehow. It's something everyone, even the soccer moms, will want to do at some point.

If apple really has some of the best design team/engineers in the world, it's time to master copy-fucking-paste.]]>Jul 14th 2008 8:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/apple-says-turn-by-turn-gps-coming-to-iphone-copy-paste-not-a/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/apple-says-turn-by-turn-gps-coming-to-iphone-copy-paste-not-a/- camera quality should be at least 3 megapixels

And, while we're on it, what does Apple have against tasks and notes applications that sync? It's like they've never used a PDA before. Why did they even bother with the notes that doesn't sync? For me, entering a note into that app is like farting in the wind.

Those are two basic, and necessary PIM apps that every other mainstream PDA/Smartphone has offered. ]]>Jul 14th 2008 9:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/apple-says-turn-by-turn-gps-coming-to-iphone-copy-paste-not-a/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/apple-says-turn-by-turn-gps-coming-to-iphone-copy-paste-not-a/
why does everyone want more megapixels? i'll take higher quality optics over megapixels anyday.

but in the mean time,with firmware 2.0, if you quickly press the home and sleep buttons together when viewing ANYTHING, it will take a screenshot of it and save it to your pictures.

All of them are pretty equal. The only real difference are transitions between different screens and maybe some UI choices, and in the end that is a matter of personal taste whether that makes a big difference to you.

Other than that, they all do the same thing more or less.]]>Jul 14th 2008 8:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/apple-says-turn-by-turn-gps-coming-to-iphone-copy-paste-not-a/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/apple-says-turn-by-turn-gps-coming-to-iphone-copy-paste-not-a/
Let's see, would I rather be a company that sells the hottest piece of electronic equipment, limited in functionality or not, on the planet to millions of 'idiots' (as you say) or the company that sells devices that admittedly have greater functionality yet offer nothing close in user experience and which most people couldn't identify if their life depended on it. Mmmm....let me think about that. Must have had to wait a long time to get your hands on that Mogul because of the demand for all of those features.

The Mogul certainly offers more features. I used to have a Tilt, another device that in fact kicked the crap out of your Mogul and I dumped that POS (note, 2 devices failed completely) for a iPhone--the user experience isn't even close.

You also need to come to grips with the fact that the vast majority of users aren't tech geekheads like yourself and could give a s$%t about the iPhone's limitations. Most people aren't interested in anything past being a media player, email/internet (easily best mobile internet), and phone.]]>Jul 14th 2008 10:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/apple-says-turn-by-turn-gps-coming-to-iphone-copy-paste-not-a/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/apple-says-turn-by-turn-gps-coming-to-iphone-copy-paste-not-a/Jul 14th 2008 10:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/apple-says-turn-by-turn-gps-coming-to-iphone-copy-paste-not-a/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/apple-says-turn-by-turn-gps-coming-to-iphone-copy-paste-not-a/Jul 14th 2008 7:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/apple-says-turn-by-turn-gps-coming-to-iphone-copy-paste-not-a/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/apple-says-turn-by-turn-gps-coming-to-iphone-copy-paste-not-a/
I wish we had copy/paste, but i really cant see it being used that much by me. It'd be an nice feature, but not exactly necessary.

A lot of my friends don't have their e-mail linked to their phones and it was always nice to send a photo from the bar or baseball game or something and be able to get a reply right away, not the next morning when they're at work.

I'm also confused with the photo/e-mail function on my iPhone 3G. Can I NOT send more than one photo in an e-mail?]]>Jul 14th 2008 11:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/apple-says-turn-by-turn-gps-coming-to-iphone-copy-paste-not-a/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/apple-says-turn-by-turn-gps-coming-to-iphone-copy-paste-not-a/We here in South Africa use MMS lots.

all you idiot apple fanbois make me sick. iphones are for kiddos and emo trendwhores. Anyone who does serious tech tasks or uses business related software wouldn't be caught dead with an iphone. No self respecting tech or gadget enthusiast can truly say the iphone is the best choice unless are are stubborn or ill informed.

The hTC Mogul w/ Sprint SERO is unlimited data, text, & tethering on EVDO rev 1 for $30/month. You simply cant beat this phone and this price for data service. You can way whatever you want...

hTC Touch Pro is on the horizon as well... these are real phones for real users. Leave the iphones to the soccer moms and dipshits.

Apple's strength has always been marketing....not engineering.

I wouldn't call em dipshits per se, but the uninformed masses are usually the ones who buy Apple...trendwhores too.

I've never seen a true gadget head or engineer try an apple product more than once before realizing that the word according to JOBS is mostly crap.

Erik and other closeted fanboys: Your devotion to Apple (aka a corporation) is fucking weird. Stop. Its only electronics.

The iphone's strength is it's diverse appeal, a diverse appeal crafted through a ui that is years ahead of competitors, it may be easy to use and simple in it's look but we know it has powerful underpinnings.

To expand on that, people can use it in their own way, it appeals to different markets well, can you say many Windows Mobile phones do that?]]>Jul 14th 2008 8:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/apple-says-turn-by-turn-gps-coming-to-iphone-copy-paste-not-a/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/apple-says-turn-by-turn-gps-coming-to-iphone-copy-paste-not-a/
The Apple crowd are like religious nuts; they fervently adhere to completely irrational and unfounded opinions and make no reference whatsoever to reality. Steve Jobs is their David Koresh, making them believe the iPhone is something other than just an expensive, but ultimately useless toy, since it lacks so many fundamentally vital features.
