Knott!
Whilst the masses were buying shoe-e-nerd carabiners,
you bought quality.. DMM.
while they were installing software with 21 steps, you did it in a keystroke.
The phone shows you only the options for the function you are in, way too easy, too logical, too clean a design, to easy to intuitively learn rather than poring over the instruction manual.
some of us just like to climb, and not be told every move to make along the way, amazing, some of us even like to do something before not touched, no instructions, no person yapping left foot, in other words,... gym climber=pc head, rock climber= mac user.... whaddayathink?

The climber formerly known as rajmit has configured my pocket PC to an iPhone like interface.
Nice fat icons for common things. Touch screen.
Having it my way
EXCEPT for that exposed LCD screen.
Fragile - no end of ways of breaking that sucker. And when it goes, you are out a luck until it goes back or other replacement mechanisms.
BTW HK.

Nice, Caughtinside!
I guess that means that you officially have the Second Supertopo Post from iPhone!
(posting once again from Toronado via iPhone - this time from my very own)

Bibbity bump.
Just an update. I have had my iPhone for 6 months now and I have to say the thing is great. No issues whatsoever with reliability or battery life. Really a great piece of technology.
Anyway, I just saw the article about the new version of the iPhone scheduled to be released late June:
http://techland.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2008/04/29/att-to-cut-the-price-of-apples-new-iphone/
It's thinner than the one I have, and it will have GPS capabilities. Which is great, I use the google maps on mine all the time and the GPS should make it even easier to use.
Plus, AT&T is dropping the price! $200. Great move, should get a lot of people in the door.
Just for the record, I'm not a mac fanboi. I love the iPhone but my laptop is a sony. There's some negative comments on the article if you want to see what others had to say.

Dave - I have been following this rumor, and I would take it with a HUGE grain of salt, considering the source (Scott Moritz)...
More on Scott Moritz and the Jim Cramer Street Misinformation Engine
The faster 3G network upgrade is a certainty, and there have been rumors of GPS being included in the new iPhone.
In any event, nice to see this thread bumped. The iPhone has been a huge success despite how all of its glaring faults
(despite it being a 1st gen. product rushed to market) were so thoroughly pointed out again and again in this thread - LOL!

hmm, good article you linked there.
Anyway, I went back and reread the comments in this thread, some pretty funny stuff. At the end of the day, it's just a phone. A pretty cool phone. Funny how worked up people get!
love the iPhone!

Here's a funny post made on the MacRumors forum this morning (post #93):
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=5379173#post5379173
Anyway, as Steve Jobs (aka God) said at the time of the iPhone release, "We are already working
on the next iPhone, and the iPhone after that". But yer right, at the end of the day, it's just a phone.
Yep, just a phone...

I was at Christmas Tree Pass for a few days and then went down to Lake Mohave for a day on monday.
There was a guy there who had an iphone and could do cool stuff with it.
He went out on a sea kayak and took some pictures with it, and sent them to his son to eat his heart out.
When he came back to shore he had a little trouble with his "dismount".
Not having taken a dry bag with him resulted in a test of the iphone's waterproofing.
Yeah. I know.
They aren't.
After it dried out everything worked but the screen.
Doh!!!!

Is this the first Supertopo post from iPhone 3Gs?
Finally upgraded from my 1st gen model, and I'm glad I skipped the G3, because this thing wipes the floor with it...
Here's an example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YksGbrgg5t0
That's knott a particularly data-intensive site; the difference is even more dramatic on a site like NYT, ect.
And loading games, boot-up times, app-launch times - you have to see it to believe it.
Cheers!

Drat!
In any event, it seems that the iHaters™ indeed got pwned, and the supposed iPhone Killers™
(including the Palm Pre, BB Storm, Android, et al) are still way off the back. ;-)
