Uncle Walt has an iPhone and is eagerly showing it to anyone he can impress. His impression so far is mixed, with the onscreen keyboard being the crux of his unease.

“I don’t know whether I’ll give it a good review or not,” he said, noting that he will use the phone for the next couple of weeks before writing his review. “I can already see some things I don’t like about it. I see some other things that I do like a lot about it.”

Qualcomm's Pain is iPhone's Gain

By admin#IM, Saturday, Jun 9, 2007 a 9:12 am

A ban on Qualcomm chips could have upside effect on iPhone sales. Or so the logic goes.

The order will not affect the introduction of Apple Inc.'s iPhone June 29. AT&T Inc. has exclusive rights to carry the iPhone, and the gadget's first version uses the carrier's EDGE network, which is not covered by the ITC ruling. Apple doesn't need a lift from its competitors' woes anyway, said Michael King, an analyst at Gartner Inc. technology research firm. "There so much hype around the iPhone that I don't think they will be able to produce enough to meet demand, so this won't help much," he said.

What Would It Take To Make You To Switch To The iPhone?

By admin#IM, Thursday, Jun 7, 2007 a 8:47 am

Robb Dunewood over at RIMarkable poses the question..

Before I became a die-hard BlackBerry user I was a die-hard Windows Mobile (Pocket PC at the time) user. I couldn’t imagine that I would ever be interested in a device like the BlackBerry, yet, RIMarkable is about to enter into its third year of existence. Truth be told, I will more than likely get an iPhone shortly after it comes out but it will be in addition to my BlackBerry. If I remember correctly, however, my first BlackBerry was in addition to my Windows Mobile device.
