Jobs really hates buttons so I doubt somebody will talk him into adding 35 of them. It seems to me like they are really only expecting people to use it as an email reading device. To be honest, that's mostly all I do on my Verizon Treo, but it is nice to be able to type relatively quickly when I have to. I still don't get why they don't rotate the keyboard when you rotate the device so that the soft keys can be bigger for those of us without kid fingers.</p>BradSun, 20 Jul 2008 22:05:11 -0000http://blog.phanfare.com/2008/07/iphone-vs-blackberry-part-ii/#comment-4942472<p>The WOW affect of the iPhone will ultimately sink the Blackberry who did not keep their eye on what consumers want. This condition is what eventually killed the Palm Pilot, Comodore 64, etc. For now, Apple has a definite advantage in providing software upgrades so they do not completely alienate the existing population of iPhone I users. The H/W features of the iPhone (GPS, Memory) were a great add, but adding the 3G ahead of the limited battery capability was a trade-off to be first to market. Apple is smart, the iPhone III will be the logical upgrade that will fix the short comings that are in the earlier releases, while at the same time getting market share ahead of Blackberry, which has a definite advantage with e-mail. I still cling to my Blackberry, but as soon as iPhone has a better keyboard and Lotus Notes native integration, the Blackberry will go on the shelp along with my Atari and Texas Instrument. Go Apple!</p>Kurt SandersTue, 15 Jul 2008 22:25:21 -0000http://blog.phanfare.com/2008/07/iphone-vs-blackberry-part-ii/#comment-4942471<p>Quick tip: disable wifi if you don't use it; I found that my battery lasts about an hour longer with it off.<br>Buying a dock for work helps too ;)</p>BenMon, 14 Jul 2008 22:12:58 -0000
