That is to be expected, plus call people on ANYphone

683702 2008-06-30 02:29:00 That is true Bantu although I was comparing the calling abilities of the iPhone with those of the EEEEPC and you can't put the EEEEPC in your top pocket or pouch on your belt. vitalstatistix (9182)
683703 2008-06-30 03:00:00 Last time I checked there were only three E's, although they're updating them all the time.

Also, last time I checked only batman could get away with utility belts.

I could be wrong though.

683704 2008-06-30 03:14:00 I think you would need good eyes for surfing the net on an iPhone. My old eyes certainly would not be up for the job. I know a woman in USA that mod'd her iPhone and is able to run third party apps such as IRC on it. Her eyes must be a lot better than mine.

It has always been a dilemma to me also as to what to take on a trip, particularly overseas to handle modern technology and keep in touch.

My Laptop is too heavy although I have taken it once. Buying an Macbook Air or EEEEPC or what ever they are would have benefits if I were a frequent traveller, but a lot of money for a once in a year holiday, considering I would not use a laptop much at home of any size.

There are although I see most people calling MAC computers too so I feel it is justified. :p As for surfing the web on the iPhone - that is what the zoom in/out (aka tap on the screen) function is for. It iPhone would have to be one of the better mobile devices designed for web surfing currently.

I have a feeling that most people who use iPhones would just have them in their pocket.

Mac's are computers... or just expensive paperweights, as far as I have use for them. I'm not getting into this though. I swear I'm not.

Although I could be wrong about that too.

P.S. Lol @ Beeswax :D

Indeed they are, it was the all CAPS of MAC I was referring to.

As for expensive paperweights, that could be any computer if the user is incompetant as are a lot of users.



A phone that calls people? Hallejulah! Steve Jobs is Jesus!! The CEOs of Palm, RIMM and Verizon might be calling him Satan fairly soon. ;)
