2: How are you suppose to use this with one hand? You cant do the same gestures AND hold it at the same time with one hand. For example, people are killing themselves driving with phones now.. now they will have no hands on the wheel? (dont tell me voice commands) There are other times when you only have one hand available.]]>Jun 30th 2007 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/Without kidding, the interface is great, very nice effects, a lot of fun to just play with I think.
But, I still don't think it makes sense surfing the internet on such a small screen. RSS I get, but the internet is not only tickertape news items. ]]>Jun 30th 2007 4:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/Jun 30th 2007 4:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/Jun 30th 2007 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/Jun 30th 2007 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/Jun 30th 2007 6:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/

- Can't select more than one email at a time to delete; can't create subfolders
- Can't copy and paste
- No A2DP stereo bluetooth action
- Data Plan can only be used with iPhone (I can't switch to another phone and use my data plan)
- No directory browsing or storage; e.g., save as
- No customizeable ringtones (yet?)
- Can't tell whether caps lock or not
- Minimal language support
- Can't select text
- ATT has the most amazing hidden fees so if you're not familiar, good luck
- ATT customer service is hit or miss, usually miss and very rude
- Service is very spotty

I went and bought one just in case I thought it might be fun but I don't like it and I'm taking it back. It's not for me. I demand too much of my phones.

IFF it had cost me 200 bucks, I would keep it because it's really *neat*, but it's the chicken noodle soup of phones. If it comes down in price and ATT loosens up on the data plans so I can use any data plan with it AND my other smartphone, I'll reconsider.]]>Jun 30th 2007 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/Jun 30th 2007 5:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/Jun 30th 2007 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/Jul 1st 2007 4:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/Jun 30th 2007 5:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/It will be all over leopard!]]>Jun 30th 2007 5:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/Jun 30th 2007 5:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/Jun 30th 2007 6:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/Jun 30th 2007 6:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/
Yeah there's a few gripes, few silly ommisions but all in all it's damm fine. All in all the promise was kept.

Perhaps maybe a few people are thinking 'better keep it up - release an update pretty soon to keep the faith but all the badness and bitching now serves no purpose other than to seem petty and purile.

Now it's down to Microsoft to come up with their version to keep the pot on the boil and to give those who will, for whatever reason, never accept Apple's 'zen' like tech a piece of sexy portable tech of their very own. They've already shown they've got a little pizzaz of their own with that table affair- if they can just get that shrunk into something that'll fit int hte trunk of your car I think Apple could have some real competition on their hands...

I use a windows mobile TyTN and my screen registers everything first time.. apps load faster (well they actually dont of course.. but since theres no flashy (but ultimatly pointless) animations to play they appear to load faster.

The number of times he had to repeat swipes and presses on the screen would be enough to annoy me within the first day or so that id stop using it.. its a phone/pda.. its a tool to get me through the day.. if it fails twice its too often.. ]]>Jul 5th 2007 4:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/Jun 30th 2007 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/
The iPhone is slick and cool and all, but I still don't believe it is going to have significant market penetration. It will never work for me, for example. I have to have real-time syncing of email, contacts, and appointments with an Exchange server, which the iPhone doesn't have. (Pretty important in the corporate world, which is where the most money is spent on phones.) I also need to use my phone as a modem when I'm travelling, which the iPhone won't do. And I have several custom apps that I need to run, which the iPhone (currently) isn't capable of. I'd also really like to have some games on mine for when I get bored waiting in line somewhere. Not to mention that it won't play any of my music. I know with those requirements I'm not among the majority, but I believe they are serious limitations that are going to limit how many people are going to want to fork over the asking price. Especially when the device that does meet my needs cost 25% of what the iPhone does.

Considering how many iPhones are going unsold on eBay, it doesn't seem like demand may be what Apple and the media had hoped.

May be cool for some, but I don't think it's going to have mass appeal.

Maybe people realize they can get it faster and at the same price or less from the store...and with more trust?]]>Jul 4th 2007 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/; )]]>Jun 30th 2007 7:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/Jun 30th 2007 7:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/hd-video-iphone-on-screen-effects/Man I'm in a bad mood. Anyways... My humble opinion is that all the big cell manufacturers (nokia, sony ericson et al) are currently in a room somewhere working out a way to kick apple into touch, and when they work something out apple will have no chance. Even for iPPle being anything other than a niche product in such a big, crowded market is going to be hard.
