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 ?

You can do these three tasks on the iPhone too.

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

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

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."

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.

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?

You could have made it clear earlier. No, it does not have handwriting recognition.

A picture is worth a thousand words?



Indeed, it appears to be!

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

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!

Sites like meebo.com work just fine so every IM network works.

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 . 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!

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

[gxsaurav]

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

[gxsaurav]

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

[rakeshishere]

Ohh...Dear!!! Calm Down ...I know that Arya is Literally Spamming the Board with too many iphone Topics

http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/show...76&postcount=9

[gxsaurav]

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.
