can't understand the excitement about the iphone. sure, it has a nice big screen with a good ui, but the camera is subpar, no video recording (many people use these features as their own memory add-ons), apps are locked down, you have to go through itunes to copy media.. meh, I'll take something a little less gated, thanks.

There is this thing called installer buddy.... When I was going through the drive-thur the guy in the call in back of me was dressed very badly as a woman. I managed to get some of it on film was an iphone video recorder.

yeah, but you're talking about an add-on for something that's a given, good quality feature on every other device. it's just symptomatic of the attitude about the iphone. you can 'jailbreak' apps too, but who wants to have to go through the uncertain hassle to do the most basic stuff?

huh - It may surprise you to learn that there are people out there that couldn't care less about having a camera or video in their phone. My current phone has both and I have taken a total of about 10 pictures in the 3+ years I've had it. I'll be getting the new iPhone and I'm sure the camera will be more than adequate.

If I want to take real pictures I'll use my full featured camera. No phone camera is ever going to compare to a good quality dedicated camera. And if I'm in a situation where I really need a picture and my phone is all I have, then it will just have to do.

Yes Peter, the missing word before "can't" was "Peter." Guess I guessed wrong, huh?

Anyway, enjoy your garden path, for sure the competition's going to sit still.
