Pre and iPhone 3G|S are both excellent and promising pieces of equipment. They do all the basic functions and more very well. It just boils down to what you prefer. It's exactly why the 3G|S has so many polls here given that the full specs are not even out yet and there is no floor model that has been tested.
US manufacturers have done a lot this year which is fantastic but they need to keep trucking to catch up. They've used the power of marketing and brand management to get the products like iPhone 2G out there in consumers hands. But seriously some of these missing features like copy/paste, mms, multiple apps, 3.5g, video etc. need to be commonplace at this point.
Me personally, apart from the Apple brand there isn't anything special in the iPhone that isn't there in other mobile phones. The Palm Pre on the other hand has some innovations like the touchstone and the way they combined a touchscreen and a qwerty pretty nicely. That said the iPhone does have a well responding touchscreen compared to the likes of the Omnia of the time of release.
Anyway, as a final point: Nokia N95. quad band. 2G, 3G, 3.5G. 5MP Carl Zeiss w/ 30fps video. Dual ARM 11 332 MHz processor; 3D HW Accelerator. A-gps, wifi, sms, mms, multiple apps & widgets, symbian s60 3rd, nokia push email etc etc. And this was released more than 2 years ago, in 2007 around March. Nokia Research has still a lot going on under wraps. Lots to catch up
I don't have a need for this. If you give this to me, I will give it to my brother. He is awful at figuring out his storage. He has a small hard drive and runs out of space and is constantly deleting important stuff for new stuff. He's also pretty crappy at backing up his data which means the last time his hard drive died he lost all his files and emails. He's great at his job offline but his lack of skill with storage solutions does seem to affect his job lately (as the computer is become more a part of it).
It doesn't have to be me, but please give the drive to one whom you think needs it the most.
until cars are able to intelligently drive themselves i think it is absolutely unnecessary for us to talk about internet in a car and domains and so on
on the passenger side it is okay, yes but for this to be in a production model would mean everyone would want it (as it is factored in cost) and im sure that the extra rise in car cost would be greater than you buying yourself a mobile phone with a bigger screen or one of them tiny laptops which are both portable, programmable and flexible.
"I'm in the market for a new laptop, and I want a 13-incher. I need something with a great keyboard for typing, as this will mostly be used for note taking in class. I am absolutely smitten with the XPS 13, but I'm afraid that with its age Dell is going to give it an update soon. Any advice for someone in my shoes?"
