@Truth: I’m convinced…u don’t own an iPhone. Anyone who has an iPhone knows that it has excellent multitasking ability. I can take a credit card payment from the credit card machine app, plus run about 9 different windows on the Internet, fedex a few packages and then upload a video to YouTube directly from my iPhone 3gs while ur lookin for a connector…lol. So for those reasons I know u don’t have an iPhone and my iPhone 3gs and I have nothing else left to say…one more thing i record vocals and live instruments on my iPhone, compose songs, email those samples and burn it to a disk for mastering now u tell me who wants an iPhone now. Awe yeah…I’m sending this from my iPhone…lol.

@WaterWest

I don't hate the Iphone. I think it is the best phone I have ever had but are there shortcomings and that is the fault of Apple trying to have complete control over the device. That is why I am hoping in the future someone is able to port Android to the phone.

Oh and I like this blog.

@ Truth … if you hate it so much, why are you spending so much time on a site called http://www.THEIPHONEBLOG.com ???

Personally, I have no interest in Nokia, and therefore spend no time on the Nokia experts site. Likewise, I have no interest in Blackberries, and therefore spend no time on CrackBerry.com.

What’s the line for accusing a guilty party … Me thinkest thou doth protest too much!

@ Chobbs

You're trying hard and I commend you but don't you think the Iphone has features that are severely limited?

It's features have evolved and become more numerous? Huh? You mean the Cr(App) Store has got even more useless apps and virtually 99% of them are worthless?

You mean it took 2 years to get copy and paste and voice control?

You mean I can still run one app at a time?

You mean that Apple still won't open up their sdk and allow for apps like a alternative browser etc?

This is not the true potential of the Iphone. Will we ever get it? Probably not because Apple wants to control everything. The Iphone is a souped up feature phone that doesn't do anything different from a phone like the Samsung Instinct, Impression, or Eternity. Well it's data plan does cost $15 more but whose counting dollars?

@Truth I guess you have a different definition of “Smartphone” than many others. In my oppinion the iPhone way is the smartest way, with push notification etc. I have never seen a real need of multitasking beyond what the iPhone delievers. Feel free to try to change my opinion.

feature phones are just feature phones. they come with a few features and even those are severely limited. again I know there is a huge debate out there raging about what is a smartphone and what is a feature phone. the fact is there is no clear distinction. so we are left with mere guidelines and minimum requirements. The IPhone, in my opinion, has proven to be more than a feature phone. It’s features have evolved and become more numerous. not to mention the outstanding hardware that it came with. I really don’t care if you call it a feature phone or a smart phone. I do care about condescending and rude comments. with that I will say no more.

Rene, the 2g and 3g iPhone will not be getting voice control. I think you said they would in the podcast.

Does it really matter what label we give it? Here’s the label I chose to give it …. enjoyable.
