Why does Ryan get the big bucks just for running a site that was "freaking up to date" with the latest developments of the iPhone launch.... I don't see CNET posting up their coverage, i don't see many blogs that covered as much as engadget in a day's work...

BTW, this is a picture extension of their older article, i don't think there's a need to copy and paste something that was 6 months ago.]]>Jun 30th 2007 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/29/apple-iphone-vs-lg-prada-separated-at-birth-part-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/29/apple-iphone-vs-lg-prada-separated-at-birth-part-2/
I bet you can copy-paste on the LG.

.. Ah, just messin'.

I still think the LG Prada is sexier of the two; but I'd still not use either personally.

Tactile.
Feedback.
K?

From that review:
"I was disappointed by the Prada phone's music player. Best I can tell, it doesn't support playlists at all. Neither can it be synchronized with Windows Media Player, iTunes, or any other system. In fact, the Prada owner can't even organize their music by making subdirectories for different albums or artists,"
...
"The KE850's web browser is adequate, but not very well integrated into the whole touchscreen system. For example, instead of being able to tap on a link with your finger or scroll the page with a dragging motion, instead a link must be navigated to with a series of on-screen arrow buttons and then selected. Not only does this not fit in with the touch theme of the Prada phone, but it wastes a lot of space on what would otherwise be a great display for browsing. The browser doesn't support full HTML/CSS sites very well,"

Similar to a keyboard, where the "f" and "j" keys have that little nub on them to help you know where you are without looking at it. Heck to see proof of the benefits of a physical button, look at all the teenagers who are texting their friends while talking to some other friends and not looking at their phone. They know which key they are on and how many times this clicked it to write a message and send very quickly.

To me a vibration is no different than an audio response, which the iPhone does do when you tap on a virtual key.
Don't be mistaken though, I still picked up an iPhone yesterday. :)]]>Jun 30th 2007 4:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/29/apple-iphone-vs-lg-prada-separated-at-birth-part-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/29/apple-iphone-vs-lg-prada-separated-at-birth-part-2/Jun 30th 2007 12:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/29/apple-iphone-vs-lg-prada-separated-at-birth-part-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/29/apple-iphone-vs-lg-prada-separated-at-birth-part-2/Jun 30th 2007 12:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/29/apple-iphone-vs-lg-prada-separated-at-birth-part-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/29/apple-iphone-vs-lg-prada-separated-at-birth-part-2/Jun 30th 2007 12:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/29/apple-iphone-vs-lg-prada-separated-at-birth-part-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/29/apple-iphone-vs-lg-prada-separated-at-birth-part-2/Jun 30th 2007 12:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/29/apple-iphone-vs-lg-prada-separated-at-birth-part-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/29/apple-iphone-vs-lg-prada-separated-at-birth-part-2/Jun 30th 2007 1:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/29/apple-iphone-vs-lg-prada-separated-at-birth-part-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/29/apple-iphone-vs-lg-prada-separated-at-birth-part-2/

1 - It's cheaper
2 - Anybody can buy one (not just Americans)
3 - Works on ANY network
4 - I've not been bored to death of it by constant postings in Engadget.

I'm sure apple ripped off the Prada in the short 3 months difference in launches. They were announced within hours of each other. The iPhone has so many more features. Time will tell which is better. By the way, why do you rip so much on apple. It seems like ever since the Zune came out Apple does everything wrong.

I don't get it. Complain about DRM. Microsoft has DRM. Apple introduces DRM free music and you say they aren't doing enough. I understand you support developers and hackers. That's good and all. But god, there is enough wrong with other gadgets and you always seem to be cutting them a break.

Actually, people knew about the Prada around a month before the iPhone was announced according to this post.

You know, if Engadget wanted to rip on Apple, they'd have noted how many problems people are having getting their phones up and running--but I don't see that article.

The LG Prada is a great phone, and Engadget is only pointing out their similarities--and differences.

Objectivity man. Seems like a common trait a lot of people buying iPhones are lacking. I've never seen so many people rip on themselves and others in such displays of greed and animosity. It's a big turn off.]]>Jun 30th 2007 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/29/apple-iphone-vs-lg-prada-separated-at-birth-part-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/29/apple-iphone-vs-lg-prada-separated-at-birth-part-2/the only issue I've had was the period being on a separate screen from the rest of the keyboard.
