When app developers get 90%, and app approval is somewhat democratized, and apps are mostly free, ill praise Apple.
For now, iPhone owners are, mostly unbeknownst to them, helping to retard the industry as a whole.

70/30 sustains the store, and paid apps spawn development.
App approval is somewhat democratized, with virtually all approved. The problem is unjust rejections which will hopefully work themselves out over time.

Just wait five minutes and read these comments, someone will come along. As for myself, my laptop is becoming more like a desktop computer, where I don't take it as many places as I once did, and my iPhone is quickly filling the role my laptop did for mobile computing. That's not a new sentiment but it bears repeating - iPhones are paving the way to a new ecosystem of phone computing, and netbooks will be dinosaurs before too long.

I wish Apple would make up its mind as to whether it wants the iPhone to be a business tool or a gaming platform. I saw they have Citrix for iPhone which looks to having an amazing (un-Citrix-like) interface and when my IT Guy stops in next, I'm going to have him set it up. My Westlaw account rep and I had a meeting yesterday and she was amazed at the Enterprise capability of the iPhone. She didn't have an iPhone only because her company only allows BlackBerry.
Also, CityTransit is $3 (it's allegedly on sale). For navigating NYC, it, ExitStrategy and HopStop are like the Not For Tourist Guide.
Finally, thanks for "fixing" the line break glitch. But once you go in to edit the comment, the kludginess of the "fix" is pretty apparent.

There's no reason it can't be both - full-sized computers definitely are, and iPhones are as powerful as some desktops were not *that* long ago.

There are some amazingly powerful apps on the iPhone that BB users have only dreamed of. If the Citrix app works as well as the screenshots make it look, then it's a killer app. The ability to access any document on my server while out of the office is an amazing prospect.
When I leave my office, I know that I have access to my contacts through the Exchange server. Mail comes to the phone instantly and my calendars are updated in realtime.
On top of that, I had gotten the MobileMe trial. When I swapped phones (and got a new SIM card), as soon as I logged in my MobileMe info, all of my contacts came back instantly. I then bought a year subscription.
It's about data safety and reliability. As a business tool, the iPhone is pretty mighty. But ads showing video games don't give that message.

What's brilliant is that Apple markets iPhones as a device for *everything* - that's why the "There's an app for that" ads are so successful.

Hmm, I'm going to think, that'll be fun in meetings!

I am not, as Dave Barry says, making this up.

cashier: do you have the receipt?
customer: *rummages through pockets* no.
cashier: NEXT!

That Marsh is still there, and probably has the same people working in it.
IIRC, there is a 60 year old cashier named Barbie.
