It's really not that good. The forgot that it's an iPHONE, not an iGadget. I want a phone. Not a call thing that happens to be a phone too, but a phone that happens to do other things too.

I want a phone. Not a call thing that happens to be a phone too, but a phone that happens to do other things too.

The iPod isn’t." The iPhone is. :P "Apple have a 5% share of the computer market, should they give up and go home?" Nope. Why? Because they're catching up on Microsoft. The Zune isn't catching up with the iPod. In the time the Zune has amassed 1,000,000 purchases, the iPod has grown by quite a few more million. You see my point? And for the record, I'm not an Apple fanboy. I use Vista primarily and there aren't any Apple products in my house, besides the iPod. “the Zune v1 is miles better than the v1 iPod was”

“iTunes is great. The iPod isn’t.”

The iPhone is. :P

And I'd buy one, if I could port all my iTunes purchases to it. As for the "well, they've sold far fewer units" argument, that's just daft.

It makes no sense to switch the console on and use it though, when my PC is always on with my music collection spread between the two.
