I was really surprised to see that it can read word and pdf files though. A nice addition I didnt know about.]]>Jun 22nd 2007 2:37PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/
Not exactly. The iPhone appears to support office attachments the was WM5 Smartphone does - it comes with a viewer. You can't edit documents or create new ones the way you can in WM6. Not surprising - this is a consumer device, not a business one. Maybe v2 will support Exchange push and document editing.]]>Jun 22nd 2007 2:49PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/Jun 22nd 2007 4:10PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/Jun 22nd 2007 4:24PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/Jun 23rd 2007 3:14PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/
It's gorgeous, no doubt about that. Good thing it's easy to copy "pretty." WinMo 6 is good, but it's still a pain in the a__ to not be able to fully use the beautiful touchscreen on my Wing without a stupid stylus...

We need a TouchFLO imitator pronto.]]>Jun 22nd 2007 5:05PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/Jun 22nd 2007 5:56PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/
Problem is - most people that hate this thing are the same people that hate Apple - plain and simple. Bottom line - it's a great unit - maybe your phone does something you like better but you can NOT tell me that this isn't the coolest device - DEVICE - to come out in a LONG time.

Now maybe the other manufacturers will stop reinventing the same lame features and we'll see some real action in this market!]]>Jun 22nd 2007 6:46PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/Jun 23rd 2007 2:21PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/Jun 22nd 2007 7:05PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/

I agree with you man! I ask the haters that take the time to read every single iphone article only to vent their jealousy, what other device matches the iphone.... complete silence accept for the crickets. Some may think Nokia N95. It's a brick and the screen real estate doesn't match-up. Ofcourse the UI is a "No compare" as well. Months after this thing is released you will read about even more iphone news (good news).

In the demo the uhhhh.....stiff dude demonstrates how you can advance, pause, resume, and answer calls using the multi-function headphones. I think that was during the Ipod demo part. Also, if it has A2DP on it (haven't confirmed that yet) then you could use bluetooth Stereo headphones to control the thing wirelessly. I love the sound from my Sony DR-BT10CX (say that 5 times real fast)Stereo bluetooth headphones. The sound is perfect. Just thought I'd chime in, I'm not trying to sell the thing.... it'll sell itself. ]]>Jun 23rd 2007 3:33PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/
Don't confuse a new user interface with new functionality. There is nothing new here. And until I see it pull up web pages with active x, flash, java etc. on it, I am not convinced that it is the "real internet", just another (definitely better looking) way to view the content that is available to windows/palm/blackberry devices all ready.

With what we see right now there are other phones that will offer better 3rd party application support, and Apple is famous for their lack of drawing in 3rd party app support for their OS all ready. There are phones that will do live TV. There are phones that will support unlimited music and video formats. There are phones that will handle office files much better, and will handle email much better. Oh yeah, swappable batteries and MMS too, even phones that come free with subsidies do that.

Apple brings a new UI to the game, that is it, and part of that ui is based completely on a proven failure of an idea in a touchscreen only device.]]>Jun 23rd 2007 5:20PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/
I admire your display of adult literary debate. You remind me of the jealous kid in school who only knew one way to communicate, which was by name calling and trying unsuccessfully to smear another in hopes of making himself and his own narrow opinion greater. I have a WM6 device.... in fact I have WM6, WM5, and PPC 2003 SE. As a matter fact I can tell you that I frequent Japan (Nagoya, Honsha, Tokyo, and Toyoda). I also frequent China and I am especially familiar with Qui Chen Bei (electronics paradise of two city blocks with buildings several floors tall with nothing but electronics and the latest computer and technological advances) in Shenzhen, not that I didn't enjoy Shanghai or Hong Kong.......

The point is this. I am a world traveler. I am an enthusiasist in all things gadget. I have seen what Japan, Korea, and other countries have to offer and I am telling you that I have not seen a multi-function device in this class that is better than the iphone. Now... my dear boy, THESE ARE FACTS!
I regret that you are so misinformed about what I know and have seen. For your sake, I regret that your adolescent attempt to smear me has crumbled pitifully due to the desease you have.... which concordantly is the same disease that has plagued many other failures.... ignorance and so that is where I will leave this... and I bid you adieu. ]]>Jun 23rd 2007 11:27PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/Dude, do you seriously think the n95 is inferior to the iPhone?
I mean the iphone *does* have a glass screen and all but the n95 does everything and does it better than well--excellently.

I get that you've traveled the planet but if this is the case,--that you think the iPhone is greater than the n95--I guess you've picked up the avian flu or some neurological disease in your travels.

In such a case, the n95 *probably* has a cure for that, too.]]>Jun 24th 2007 2:23AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/
Dude man..... not you too, with the slanderous remarks... Uhhh boy. For the sake of this response I will dismiss the your insinuating that I'm sick.

Regarding your point about the N95???? I've seen it. I've used it. A colleague of mine has one. The idea and the Specs are HOT! That thing would have been my next foray into a convergent device, even if I had to ditch MS WM6 to get it. However, I was not impressed when I used it. I don't like the form factor, the sliding stuff was not solid. The thickness of the thing was an issue. Is seemed sluggish when I used it. As thick as it is it was not balanced in the weight feeling and just felt like it would explode in a thousand pieces if dropped. I wasn't impressed with the screen size. My colleague (who owns it) is constantly complaining about the battery life, and it locks up occasionally when he's doing his Web browsing. I didn't hate the U.I. but I wasn't enamored, intrigued, or even curious either.

Now with that said..... if it were not for the iphone I probably would have settled for the thing or something else. The sluggish effect and Battery life was a problem, and you have to like the way something feels and looks and the N95 missed the mark as it was probably just targeting the "who's who" in specs.

That is just my two cents. I understand the point your attempting to make.... and that's fine.... for you.... I guess. I am un-swayed and so I will buy the iphone now. I will also buy the Meizu M8 or Mini-One, or M8v.... or whatever it will be called if it doesn't go the way of vapor! Now I have a questions for you. If you have an N95 and your so impressed by it, why even consider.....ehhhh hmmmm... I mean read and post about the iphone?
Can you make a point, or present facts without degrading to the point where you resort to throwing mud.... and missing your target?

Cheers Mate,]]>Jun 24th 2007 8:25AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/Yo, don't take my slanderous comments personally, I was just joking; we're cool!

Most obviously, most of us--what the hell, none of us have used the iPhone yet, thus all comparisons that we can makle between the iPhone and other devices are based on specs released and that creepy little video. I will definately agree with you, that phone does look HOTT. In fact, I have every intention of getting one as I have no big gripes with Apple (besides their Nazi regulation of everything Apple, but hey, the purpose of business, ultimately, is to make money), but spec wise you have to agree it is lacking. You said the n95 would lock up some, given it's performance, I would imagine that very forgiven due to its performance otherwise. Also, I will agree that the iPhone is revolutionary thus far causing many manufacturers to look into the "touchscreen all the way" interface, but to say it is the best multifunction device, I say no cigar. I mean the on screen touch key pad is a big minus already. Pair it up with a QWERTY keypad, GPS, some 3G love, and a better photographic department then I'd be (closer to being) on your side. ]]>Jun 24th 2007 1:32PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/
Thanks for the well wishes... I guess. I will never be stuck with something I don't want. If I hate it, I ditch it and get another device whether I stay with At&t or not. I never let anything or anyone box me in. So what there is a cancellation fee, the point is that I will put the iphone threw its paces and go from there. However, I will tell you this... It is true I have not seen or held or worked the darn thing but there has been more footage and information concerning this device in action and static than any other product. Forgive me if my positive nod toward Apple for this device is premature.... still, based on what I have seen the device will have to un-convince me.

Sincerly,

Never stuck with a "piece of crap like that"]]>Jun 24th 2007 1:16PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/
I'm with ya all the way! You spoke facts and the facts is that we have not used the darn thing yet and so we don't know for sure. Yeah man I agree the darn thing is HOTT to look at. Apple makes products that are aesthetically pleasing. I also have to agree with you that the iphone is lacking big time in the spec department. I have a Samsung Sync as my work Mobile phone and it is Quad Band, UMTS, EDGE, and HSDPA. I use it to tether to my MacBook Pro that I bought in February (My first Apple computer). I dunno if I will be able to tether my iphone to the Macbook Pro just the same. Considering the fact that the thing is only Edge, would I even want to? It is a step backward from my Samsung Sync! DARN! So yeah man I agree with you. It is a "wait and see" kind of situation.

Cheers to ya DerX! ]]>Jun 24th 2007 9:22PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/Jun 26th 2007 2:21PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/22/apple-takes-you-on-an-iphone-guided-tour/Jun 30th 2007 9:08PM
