Now we have to hear the Haters complain about things the majority of the non-geek public know nothing about. Seriously, ask your grandmother or your wife if she really, really wants multi-touch on her next phone and bask in the blank stare you get for your trouble.

So be very sad, guys. This is the end of the great days of iPhone bitching. Now we have to hear asinine comparisons between real keyboards versus touch screen keyboards and on occasion, a complaint about needing a removable battery (just buy a Mophie Juicepak, man, seriously).

In other words, get ready for the Apple Haters to get extremely boring. I'm crying about it already.

I picked it up off the torrents last week and it activated right away.

I don't own an iphone.. I just wanna see the results of the poll.. if everyone in my situation voted "what's an iphone" to get to the results page, then the results get distorted and you have to do some quick math to get to the real answer..

Which is fine, math is no big deal for me, but why not save us the effort?]]>Jun 17th 2009 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/17/hows-the-iphone-os-3-0-upgrade-going-for-you/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/17/hows-the-iphone-os-3-0-upgrade-going-for-you/

It only works on editable text, not webpages (sorry about stating the obvious, but... :P). Select some text you typed and it pops up (or any text you can edit in any application).

Accessibility features are limited to the new 3G s phone only (it wasn't something that came as part of the 3.0 OS upgrade). It was nothing to do with audio, but did offer video contrast features. For the exact details, go to the Apple iPhone website and take a look at what's new with the 3Gs (http://www.apple.com/iphone).

Hope that helps!]]>Jun 17th 2009 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/17/hows-the-iphone-os-3-0-upgrade-going-for-you/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/17/hows-the-iphone-os-3-0-upgrade-going-for-you/
IPHONE IS LACKING BECAUSE OF THE FOLLOWING:
No multitasking
No Physical keyboard
No LED flash

PALM PRE IS LACKING BECAUSE OF THE FOLLOWING:
8 GB memory limit
No true apps - only webapps (so weak)
No voice and data at the same time (because of Sprint CDMA network)
No voice dialing (WTF)
No video recording (WTF?)
No voice memos (WTF)
No movie rentals (over the air or otherwise)
No visual Voicemail
No TV show rentals
No audiobook purchasing
No true app store (18 is a joke)
No console-quality games (like Resident Evil, Metal Gear, 1000's of others for iPhone)
No Peer to Peer games
No VoiceOver (the iPhone can read any screen to you, just like a Mac)
No native in-car integration (iPhone has this with dozens of cars)
No podcasts
Crippled copy/paste (for example - you can't cut or copy a webpage or any part of it)
No universal search (crippled - no e-mail search)
Tiny keyboard (iPhone landscape and portrait keyboards are bigger than Pre's real keyboard)
No auto wi-fi login (just jumps on any open network and remembers them all)
No 7.2 Mbps network speed
No Remote Wipe
No Find My Phone feature
Can't function as a Remote for the household stereo (Great for parties, especially with the iTunes DJ feature where people can request songs)
Weak battery life
More expensive than iPhone
Very scratchable screen
No oleophobic protective screen
No real music store (Apple can break the compatibility at any time and I don't want to take that chance)
No Voice Commands (control music playing by saying "Depeche Mode" for example)
No Compass
No multiple and customizable home screens like iPhone (Pre only has one screen)
No Parental Controls
No Video Editing
No onboard Ringtone Creation
No 5 person conference calls
No Webclips

Anyone have anything to say about this? Can anyone honestly say the Pre has more features?

PS - the iPhone CAN multitask - you can listen to music, send e-mails, download files, AND surf the web at the same time. What you CANNOT do is have multiple 3rd party apps open at the same time - for example, I can't play Boggle AND Texas Holdem at the same time. And why would I? However, I CAN play Boggle, listen to my music, answer an email, download a PDF, etc. at the same time.

I would honestly like someone to list several dozen features the Pre has that the iPhone doesn't have. I guarantee no one will.]]>Jun 17th 2009 6:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/17/hows-the-iphone-os-3-0-upgrade-going-for-you/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/17/hows-the-iphone-os-3-0-upgrade-going-for-you/Jun 17th 2009 6:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/17/hows-the-iphone-os-3-0-upgrade-going-for-you/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/17/hows-the-iphone-os-3-0-upgrade-going-for-you/Jun 17th 2009 6:21PM
