A story I posted earlier last month regarding AT&T's decision to exclude its Business Account customers from buying iPhones has become a raging bonfire for angry readers venting their frustrations against AT&T. Some have threatened to organize a class action lawsuit the wireless carrier. A reader named Rob Schrader wrote... I just purchased 2 8 gig iPhones today after waiting...
Before delving further into my initial impressions, I wanted to go back to the topic of iPhone’s display that I hadn’t yet covered – brightness and color. The screen is absolutely the brightest and richest color LCD I have ever seen on a mobile device. In fact my initial reaction upon powering up the device for the first time was that Apple obviously preconfigured these units with...
Does the iPhone live up to the hyperbole? Is the device really as cool as it looks? Even more important – is it a practical device to use or just an expensive, but impressive, luxury gadget? I can’t fully answer the philosophical aspects until I’ve used the iPhone for a longer period of time. Two weeks is my usual period for test modeling a product before passing final judgment. But in...
Please excuse my absence for the past 24 hours. I am still basking in iPhone afterglow, having spent most of my time heavily engaged in taste testing the Jesus phone, putting it through its paces. Before I get into my impressions of the device (spoiler: It is AMAZING!) I thought I would share my experiences that led up to actually getting the phone. Some of the things I discovered from...
If you wondering why I'm not posting, it's because I have not WiFi access at all.? Not a drop. But others are streaming.
Hello, Manning? Ah good you're awake. Say, I just received this press release from Apple - apparently they're launching this smashing new iTelephone thing and they've invited us to some kind of red carpet event. Do let's meet at the Apple Store for a round of gawking, shall we? Wonderful. Afterworlds I thought we might pop over to Pacific Catch for some Calamari. That's a good chap....

CrunchGear's Seth Porges muses on Apple's strategy of planned obsolescence in product development. iPhone falls into this category, much like its musical cousin - iPod. This is the primary reason why you won't see user replaceable batteries in either product. Apple doesn't want you upgrading your device, they want you to upgrade to a NEW device. This strategy was widely used by auto...

Who is right? Find out in this weekend's cage match between Dvorak and Adrian-Evan-Jacob-Jingleheimer-Hughes, err..that other guy. Read
And this year's "things we say that come back to bite us right in the ass" award goes to Palm CEO Ed Colligan, who was interviewed back in November '06 during a Churchil Club event by the New York Time's John Markoff about his thoughts on Apple's secret development of a mobile phone device. Colligan proudly boasted... "PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They're not going to...
Wall Street Journal columnist, Walt "Uncle Walty" Mossberg says iPhone beats out the BlackJack and Palm's new Treo 750. High praise indeed coming from such an Apple shill unbiased product reviewer. "...But if you're in the market for a smart phone and can afford $499, you might want to wait until June for the Apple iPhone. The Apple entry is so full of promise that anyone buying a...
Carl Weinschenk from ITBusinessEdge calls the iPhone a "Milestone in Business Mobility". But can Apple really lure corporate customers with what is clearly a consumer play? I don't see that happening. iPhone is, by design, an entertainment device...not a business oriented mobile productivity tool like the Treo or Blackberry. It would be nice to see the IT world embrace such a lavish...
The National Post has published an interesting story about Apple's sudden appearance in the smartphone market, how its presence will impact all major players, notably Palm and RIM. For better or worse iPhone certainly forces both companies to rethink their product strategies and take software more serious, which hasn't been the case for RIM and Palm. Still, that doesn't mean iPhone...
