I’m looking forward to the iPhone.
It’s from the future.
Like something in Minority Report or Blade Runner.
Too bad other companies lack the imagination to come up with something like this.
I hate it when people say things like, “But you can’t edit Excel documents on it!”
That said, here are some prospective weird pet peeves based on the reviews I have read:
- There is no way to cut, copy, or paste text.
- You have to switch to a different keyboard view to insert a period or comma.
- You cannot just start typing a name to call someone in your address book.
- You can’t use your songs as ringtones.
- Some normal headphones won’t fit into headphone jack.
By the way, I have been using the Blackberry Pearl on Cingular EDGE in San Francisco for six months and the EDGE speeds are fine for Google Maps, Google Mail, and Web browsing.
Steve Jobs always says that Apple is a “software company”. That never made sense to me—Apple obviously makes great hardware too. Then I realized what he means: “We know how to make software. Nobody else does. That’s our competitive advantage. People use software, not hardware.”
