Just a little perplexed why the sycophants insist that we we should all be so grateful that Apple progressed beyond the Newton, and that we should be satisfied as though every new product is perfection redefined.
Apple has created, in the iPhone, some fantastic new innovations. I really like my iPhone, but remain extremely disappointed that they purposefully left out functionality that is ordinarily to be expected in any worthwhile PDA.
Apple wasted an incredible opportunity to make the ipaq, and all pocket pc's all but obsolete. Instead they catered specifically to Apple and ipod fanatics that are just so easily satisfied with aggregate mediocrity as long as it has the Apple logo. To merely suggest that that Apple adopt ordinary features that we have enjoyed on other products for years is liken to insulting their religion.
Ok, they didn't need to make notes import/export friendly, or make the Bluetooth 21st century compliant, or the browser able to download files,... but to make it functionally impossible to have third parties make such things possible is the epitome of arrogant idiocy. If that is capitalism, to leave the consumer begging for tiny incremental tidbits by spending more money, then they have succeeded. Apple sycophants are so easily led, and satiated, and just as easily offended.
