said by Matt:said by digiblur:I've watched all the reviews and hands on videos. It looks cute but I don't see what all the hype is about. I felt the same way when the Iphone came out though.
Sticking with the TouchPro for now...better keyboard...higher resolution screen...memory card slot...tethering...wmwifirouter...etc.
I felt the same way. The huge selling point that iPhone has is the app store. There is literally a very well crafted app for everything you can think of. Here is a quick listing of what I have on my iPhone:
Subnet Calculator and Inventory
iSSH
RDP App
Astronomy Planets App
US History Documents Reference
Twitterfon
Skype
Fandango
Unit/Distance/Time/Weight Conversion App
Facebook
Blizzard Authenticator
Pandora Streaming Radio
AIM
Google App w/ Voice Recognition
Siphon VoIP Client
Bank of America App
... plus 10 or so fun apps like brain teasers, games like Doom/Wolfenstein.
As a hardware device, I find the iPhone so-so, but the app store is indispensable and precisely why the iPhone is a success.
The Apple App Store is a bunch of overpriced junk.
