Many people here are still not convinced with I-Phone's capabilities. My friends... Apple just started a revolution!
OK lets work through the demo features:
Dial Touch Pad: had it since my original Treo 180 - 7 (?) years ago
Sync: had it since my original Palm 10 (?) years ago
Call Contacts: had it since my original Treo 180 again. Plus I can type in initials, parts of names, click on links from my calender, notes, sms, and emails to call a person. Oh and voice-dialing too
(3 year old feature)
Visual Voice Mail: new feature. However this is a carrier feature, no doubt rolling out to all modern handsets.
MP3 Player: had it since my Treo 600 3-4 (?) years ago (Treo 270 could do it but had no SD slot so I won't count that)
Sensor Turning: other products have done this for some time. Nice but nothing ground breaking.
Read Mail: had this since my Treo 180 once again. About 3 years ago I started using Push Email (like on the Blackberry). Note apple only mention imap and pop so I assume there is no exchange integration.
Browser: had this since my Treo 180 once again.
Photo's: had this since my Treo 180 once again, although that was greyscale so maybe my 6 year old Treo 270 would be appropriate.
Wow, apple has released a phone that who's major features I would consider to be 3-7 year old 'standard' features on any smartphone.
What was that about a revolution.
I'm not knocking the device. It is pretty, it is nice. But this "most advanced..." and "revolutionary" is BS. For some of us it is old hat. It goes to show what a sheltered life a lot of mac users live in to be unaware of what the rest of the world has been up too.
