Depends. I can respect that from a usability standpoint, it's an impressive device. I like the UI, and it works well. HOWEVER, from a simple political perspective, the iPhone is just WRONG.
...and I'm buying a phone for political reasons, or because "it works well"? There's a reason every phone is compared to the iPhone...it's the best. Don't tell me how this phone has a company with politics you like better and that it has a higher megapixel camera and x, y and z, because it's still not "better" or the iPhone would be one of hundreds of other phones compared to the "best" phone out there. Raw specs and/or politics don't make a better user experience.

I agree, and I keep telling those kids to get off my lawn. They distract me from working on my Windows 3.1 environment with winsock to get on the Internet. Wake up jackass. I fixed my app a year ago so it would work with IIS7 and I had 64 bit working 4 years ago. I write apps for paramedics and firemen and sell them to the public sector who largely uses XP...Why? because the hardware manufacturers and other lazy developers haven't gotten around to it and/or think compatibility mode will work for them instead so they don't have to fix their apps. I unfortunately interface with 3 different publicly traded defibrillator manufacturers...none of their software works in 64 bit windows and only one works on Vista, none work on 7.
