The iPhone is a piece of Apple, Inc everyone knows that Apple releases some great products. And to be able to purchase at prices ranging from 99$ to 300$ that is a even better reason to have everyone wanting more of Apple.

I have encouraged over 30 plus people in getting a iPhone 3g. They either get it the same day or within the week. Why?

Because I promote the iPhone as a mini computer that just so happen to beable to make phone calls.

Ya it’s true: spell check not available, the keyboard take up 70% of the screen in landscape mode and the cut and paste options was not released until 2 years later after it’s first release. But when one as had an iPhone for about a week. And has took full advantage of the rich emails that come just like they suppose to unlike what I get with my blackberry or being able to get the full internet experience who cares about the rest. When it come to sms it’s a great thing to be able to have all of your SMS saved similar to blackberry. Nope, us iPhone users are unable to forward SMS with 2.1 or participate in the little childish forward to ten people SMS messages. But these are things that we can do without. Because no over phone comes close to the same experience the iPhone delivers.

Blackbery storm is a mistake upon arrival and hurt Blackberry credibility if anything. I’m shocked that Verizon even allowed that unfinished business of a PDA in their line up. And VERIZON by passed the iphone which made the or deal even worth. Here, Verizon and Apple could have been more the untouchable companies in the industry.

Palm Pre is a great device not side by side to the iPhone but the closes thing to it. Palm as a business is failing. Palm themselves need not to gather what others have done and bring it in a device they need to bring what they thought of and change the smartphone industry and begin a new niche for themselves. Palm can only go so far as to where Apple will led them. I’m pretty sure once the customers of Sprint get their hands in the Palm Pre the truth will be reveaedl like it was with the blackberry storm, lg voyager, the google g1, and all of these so call iPhone killers. The companies are trying to stay alive versus giving us the consumer new and innovative products to purchase. In the future you may see not only car, mobile networks, etc buying eachother out of business but your going to be see manufacturers who can’t handle the fire of today smartphone get bought out by the hungry innovative work of greater smartphone companies.

iPhone is a computer that just so happen to be able to make phone calls. Apple use to be called Apple Computer, Inc. dont forget the obvious.

If the pre ends up costing less than the iPhone then it may have a chance. There are alot of people that think me crazy for having spent 599 dollors just for a phone. Of course I love the purchase I have made and cannot wait till the nexgen iPhone.

• multitasking: writing an email while viewing another email or website at the same time, running pandora in the background
• settings are all right in the current application rather than a separate setting app as on the iphone.
• Synergy: facebook is my address book. Whenever someone changes their phone or email – I don’t have to do anything..
• notifications: slide in and out and stay out of the way. I don’t have to quit the application I am in in order to use sms
• gesture bar: much more elegant way to navigate applications
• better ergonomics. The iPhone doesn’t sit well in the palm of the hand.. it’s a bit to thin.
• more flexible development environment. many would disagree with me here but I am not a fan of the Cocoa model. I’m more interested in simple, socially connected games rather than battery sucking 3d games on my phone..
• free of legacy iTunes model. I’ve synced with iTunes only to find long waits and at times major errors. I want to be able to get my media from sources other than itunes. I like audible to get audiobooks. I like netflix to rent movies. I like pandora for music. I like amazon for books. Palm pre has a chance to get netflix and audible where as apple would probably prevent them from appearing on the iphone.
• free of me.com. I use google mail. I feel like a second class citizen on the iPhone. Apple makes great software and hardware but I want other services like google and facebook to be as first class citizens on my device.

Hey, I already have the iPhone and like it – but I’m excited about the Pre – seems to have gotten a lot of things right and should do well along with the iPhone for those who want the above features.
