At least it serves more like a Mac, and slightly more portable than normal laptops including MacBooks. You can't use iWork on the iPhone to do your work, now can you ? tongue.gif

Apple is crazy with product launching. First with iPhone. I thought it would at least 3 years. After just a year, 3G comes out, and 3GS soon after. So it would'nt be a surprise.

wow you must be a person who wishes technology never should advance and should stay the way it is. Apple releasing new iphone on a one year cycle seems crazy? what about sony ericsson or Nokia which launch new phones every month are they crazier?

The term "crazy" that I used is to regard their vigorous product marketing, releasing iPhones on an annual basis, eventhough they are new in the market. With this type of advancement, it wouldn't be fair to old iPhone owners, that supports for their currently iPhone would have been ceased. Look what happened to the old iPhone 2G. It was, and still is a very, very good phone, that could serve someone for a good lifespan of 5 years. But lack of third party support like cases, covers, and screen protectors would lead to an early downfall of such a good phone from a good phone manufacturer that has just came into the smartphone business, Apple Inc.

At least, Nokia and other major phone companies, do not cease support of their products. Well at least, I can still see 3310's original battery covers, battery itself, screen protectors and what not, in a Nokia service centre, and also in phone shops. I don't see why you regard me as a person who wishes technology never should advance and stay they what they are.

At least, when releasing a new iPhone, Apple should regard what is most important in phones, and make it irresistible. I wouldn't mind spending thousands on something that is new and fresh. Could you tell the difference between a 3G, and 3GS physically? I would be happy when the next line of iPhone includes flash, a higher megapixel camera and what not. Even my sister's cheap sony ericcson phone has flash sweat.gif They should really use the time to R&D, slash costs and come up with something new and fresh for the iPhone i reckon.

But all in all, way to go apple, lets bring us the islate! wub.gif

I am not trying to disregard Apple's contribution in the Smartphone business and to be honest, Apple's iPhone is my first and by far the best phone that I have used in all my entire life. I am not a major in business and marketing, but I do understand the concept of basic supply and demand. Lack of first party accessories by Apple has not only cause major disappointments by consumers, not only on the iPhone, but also the macbook and other apple hardwares. Now, it is such a problem, if we need screen protectors, or maybe, a new casing for the iPhone 2G. Like Sony, although the have discontinued the PSP-1000s, they still allow limited cycles of accessories for the phat PSP going around in Sony Centres for their customers.

Probably, you don't see this as a problem, but i am sure many does. I use my gadgets until they worn out, I dont just replace mine just because they have another product that succeeded them, and also for economic reasons.

Machines would definitely bring it in, but it all depends on time frame.

There's nothing to lol about, mate. Everyone knows that it is not going to replace a netbook nor a laptop nor an iMac or anything in between.

One thing I don't understand is why the iPad is not equipped with the mesmerizing Mac OS X, but instead an updated iPhone OS ?

Based on my understanding, I reckon he is trying to use his 3G enabled iPhone as a wireless access point for the iPad. Not sure if it could work though.
