iPhone a "Beautiful and Breakthrough Handheld Computer"

[aryayush]

After testing the iPhone for two weeks in multiple US cities, Walter Mossberg and Katherine Boehret consider it “a beautiful and breakthrough handheld computer. Its software, especially, sets a new bar for the smart-phone industry, and its clever finger-touch interface,” they say, “works well.” In addition to combining “intelligent voice calling and a full-blown iPod,” iPhone also “offers the best Web browser we have seen on a smart phone and robust email software.” It offers “the largest and highest-resolution screen of any smart phone we’ve seen, and the most internal memory by far. Yet it is one of the thinnest smart phones available and offers impressive battery life, better than its key competitors claim.” It is, the two conclude, “a pleasure to use.”

A computer is a device on which you can input data, read your documents, use to to communicate via internet.

You cannot "write" on iPhone. You can type but you cannot save it as a notepad file or word file

You cannot read all the documents out there neither you can install plugins for reading documents

You cannot use it to communicate with JAVA or Flash based sites or Skype or IM.

iPhone is a computer? Kahan se ?

spam multiple posts ... salesmen should be banned he should be treated the smae way the other advertisers on this board were treated

[aryayush]

A computer is a device on which you can input data, read your documents, use to to communicate via internet.You can do these three tasks on the iPhone too.

You cannot "write" on iPhone.Yes, you can.

You can type but you cannot save it as a notepad fileYes, you can.

You cannot read all the documents out there neither you can install plugins for reading documentsIt reads plain text, HTML, RTF, Word, PDF and Excel files. I think that basically means "all documents".

You cannot use it to communicate with JAVA or Flash based sites or Skype or IM.No Skype, yet. But IM works through web based interfaces and Web 2.0 applications. I am sure Skype is coming soon too.

iPhone is a computer? Kahan se ?Har angle sey.

Every single reviewer has said that "In a sense, the iPhone has already made its mark. Even those who never buy one will benefit from its advances, as competitors have already taken Apple’s achievements as a wake-up call to improve their own products."

[gx_saurav]

Yes, you can.

No You can't, iPhone has no handwriting recognition.
Yes, you can.

No you can't, iPhone has so far not given any indication of notes taking. How can you say yes? Have u used iPhone. Source Plz.

It reads plain text, HTML, RTF, Word, PDF and Excel files. I think that basically means "all documents".

PPT, PSD, ZIP, RAR,....no support. I hope you know that zip compresses multiple files together so it is easy to send just one file.

No Skype, yet. But IM works through web based interfaces and Web 2.0 applications. I am sure Skype is coming soon too.

Yahoo IM doesn't work cos Yahoo Web messenger is either based on JAVA or Flash.

MSN IM has no web interface

Google Talk has IM in web.

AOL has no Web based IM, Web 2.0 based means someone will need to pass it through his server which means chances of passwords or data breach. Sorry, i trust the official creator. SO what should I do now?

When skype comes, then come back & tell me. Right now iPhone has no Skype support. Guess what W960i & N95i has Skype as well as SIPPS support.

Har angle sey.

iPhone is the best iPod Apple has ever made. Its just that Apple forgot that it also needs to be a phone so they forgot to include phone features.

Every single reviewer has said that "In a sense, the iPhone has already made its mark. Even those who never buy one will benefit from its advances, as competitors have already taken Apple’s achievements as a wake-up call to improve their own products."

Isn't this the other way around? Isn't iPhone copying functionality of BlackJack or WM6 or HC?

[aryayush]

No You can't, iPhone has no handwriting recognition.
You could have made it clear earlier. No, it does not have handwriting recognition.

No you can't, iPhone has so far not given any indication of notes taking. How can you say yes? Have u used iPhone. Source Plz.A picture is worth a thousand words?

Indeed, it appears to be! :D

No one on Earth is as misinformed, disillusioned and delusional as you are.


PPT, PSD, ZIP, RAR,....no support. I hope you know that zip compresses multiple files together so it is easy to send just one file.Oh yeah, it does not support those. Yeah, yeah. Huge drawback indeed. I am sure a lot of people would want to just sell their computers and use the iPhone for all their computing needs.

There are so many drawbacks of the iPhone: It does not make coffee, cannot serve as a vacuum cleaner, does not function as a shaving razor or tissue paper... man, this thing sucks! :lol:

Yahoo IM doesn't work cos Yahoo Web messenger is either based on JAVA or Flash.

MSN IM has no web interface

Google Talk has IM in web.

AOL has no Web based IM, Web 2.0 based means someone will need to pass it through his server which means chances of passwords or data breach.Sites like meebo.com work just fine so every IM network works.

Sorry, i trust the official creator. SO what should I do now?Go to a corner and cry yourself to sleep.

iPhone Rox .... http://gathering.tweakers.net/global/smileys/hypocrite.gif

You could have made it clear earlier. No, it does not have handwriting recognition.
This is what I wrote.

You cannot "write" on iPhone.
I quoted the word write, I hope you know what quoting means.

Go & have a look at the latest screenshot, where is the notes icon? By the way, I also have a notes application in my K750i but it doesn't saves in txt format like iPhone. Well, for a $500 phone I would have expected some smart(phone)ness.

Oh yeah, it does not support those. Yeah, yeah. Huge drawback indeed. I am sure a lot of people would want to just sell their computers and use the iPhone for all their computing needs.
Hmm...I wonder how other phones which are worth $500 (P990i, W950i, Nokia N95) support these features then. Oh well, these other phones have been doing everything that iPhone can't do from years.

Sites like meebo.com work just fine so every IM network works.
Its a site boy not a real application or even iChat :D. This is same as what I said u earlier. it goes through a web server, I don't trust a web server of some annonymas user.

here are so many drawbacks of the iPhone: It does not make coffee, cannot serve as a vacuum cleaner, does not function as a shaving razor or tissue paper... man, this thing sucks! :lol:

I don't expect iPhone to make cofee, but it doesn't even works as a phone. What a iUsless device for iLosers

[ssk_the_gr8]

stop spamming.. someone plz get this fanboy in control he s goin mad :D

[gx_saurav]

stop spamming arya.. someone plz get this fanboy in control he s goin mad
He sure has, his mental stability is disturbed or should I say, just had a kernel panic cos despite of so much advertising & promoting iPhone & other Apple products, he still has no job offer from Apple store.

we have always said use what u want dont rant about ur product but what can we do when arya starts 7 threads copy-pasting some 1 else's opinion and acting like a salesman everytime and saying the same thing again and again ... abhi bacha galti karta hai toh badey bar bar samjhate hain na ghar/school se bahar toh nahi nikal dete

[gx_saurav]

Oh comon, i already said that I won't be posting in these 4 spam threads anymore. & I m not.

[gx_saurav]

I guess thats the only way he can advertise. By Spamming, cos not everyone is a kid here like him. Human Being use brains...while some Macboys....use Apple.

[rakeshishere]

[gx_saurav]

As long as there are Macboys spamming the forum with iPhone news, there will be other users try to give eye openers.

[infra_red_dude]

I req Mods to ban arya,gx,imav..Which ever updated thread is opened ...I only see these 3 people talking the same Stuff:x

not ban them, but develop an auto delete feature which automatically deletes all the posts containing "mac, windows, linux, iphone, arya, gx, imav". i'm sick of all the threads. all of them lead nowhere. i'm now mostly restricted to jus a couple of forums.... but even in mobile monsters we see the iphone thing and these guys fighting over it.

i think all the iphone things should be moved to news section. its not appropriate to post abt the iphone in mobile monsters coz its not released, more importantly not in india. so anything abt it shud be in news or chit chat section.

at least keep this sub section clean. open source is the only section which has minimal of these guys and now most of the time i browse only that section.

ontopic: i do not think anything can replace a computer, not even an n95! we are still very much behind in this scenario.

WoW...What a Reply!!! :p...He just said M$ Products are "3rd Rated" :D..I just Dont Get why he keps each and everytime telling about "If it wasnt the Mac ,None wouldnt have seen Fonts".
Steve Jobs had gone for a calligraphic class in his young age and he did use that talent for technology but Its just too much when he repeats it everytime like a parrot:rolleyes:

[iMav]

^^ thats the same kinda reply we get from mac boys on this forum and then we are blamed for inciting war like threads

[ax3]

It was a huge achievement, by the way and it is hardly surprising that he feels proud of having contributed something so great to the world.

[piyushp_20]

guys guys, just wait and listen

the iphone was out in boston last firday and the user reviews say that its not that much good, just google and search for its reviews and ull come to know.

[iMav]

^^ the truth ;)

[Zeeshan Quireshi]

iphone is Not a Complete Phone when compared to other phones(whatever brand)..But Its an Advanced ipod ;) :) rightly said

[aryayush]

guys guys, just wait and listen

the iphone was out in boston last firday and the user reviews say that its not that much good, just google and search for its reviews and ull come to know.I've posted every single review I've come across. Each one has listed the flaws and the pros. In each case, the latter has outweighed the formal.

All said and done, it would still be wiser to wait for the second generation of the device IMHO.

[gx_saurav]

^^^^ so, there are no more iPhone reviews according to u & all which show the cons sux? gr8

[praka123]

iPhone looks-- that rocks ;) also OS X(iphone runs on___) too.
