Video on demand: Steve Jobs’ iPhone 3G keynote
I was impressed with the quality and diversity of the apps demonstrated.
Useful medical tools, fun games, unique ways to make music. This portable platform has so much potential.
Windoz - if only I had a choice!
MeMe from Iowa - give us a break, please. So you bought a Blackjack or some other lame Windows Mobile-based smartphone and your pissed. Seriously, though, look at the numbers. The satisfaction numbers, that is. The iphone has the very highest user satisfaction rating of any phone (smartphone or regular) ever produced. The darn thing doesn’t even come with a real manual - because it doesn’t need it. Most of the 6MM people that own one could care little about the myriad of new features. For them the iPhone is simply an easy to use and, dare I saw, fun device. It just gets faster and better July 11. Don’t rag on it because you’re an agent of Redmond or a Windows Mobile fan boy. As for MobileMe copying… who cares! If you like .Mac and have a .Mac email account, then MobileMe is for you. If you’re tied to Hotmail and whatever phone platform you have now - no worries. No one is forcing you to change.
Not a single new feature presented that not already on other cell phones and still lack a lot of features others have. Very disappointing. And copying Microsoft Windows live with Mobileme that’s a first!!! usually it is the other way !!!!.

Silicon Valley veterans like to joke that Steve Jobs must be surrounded by a reality distortion field; if you get too close to him, you start to believe what he's saying. Thanks to the success of the iPod, the launch of the iPhone and the renewed interest in the Mac, Apple has made believers out of millions of customers - and made a lot of investors rich. But Philip Elmer-DeWitt believes that an ounce of skepticism never hurts when writing about the company. He should know. He's been covering Apple - and watching Steve Jobs operate - since 1982, first for Time Magazine, then for Business 2.0, and now for Fortune.
