Yeah, I never liked Palm on a Mac, you see. The integration was always too annoying for me, so i stopped using the Palms i've had (now given away or sold). Horses for courses, though. Have you seen the screens on touch/iPhone? They really are very good. I've seen similar screens on other devices, but their clarity isn't always all that - not saying it's the same for you, you're clearly into your Palms, so the experience works for you. Fair enough.

You know I never really understood why they just dumped the line (a mate had one and it was very cool) instead of evolving it into a smartphone?
Looks like the Editor will be getting copy+paste...:

I've used Mac's all my computer life - swear by them & love using them, but all this bollocks from Apple recently, frankly stinks.
Product flaws are not automatically a conspiracy.

ok i've been using my iphone for a few days now and there seem to be a few glaring omissions from it
1) you cant send texts to multiple recipients!!!
2) no mms??? you can send emails but not picture messages
3) no video camera, these have been standard on phones for ages
4) you can't highlight text to delete it, only hold down the delete button
5) the mail programme has no spam filter, you have to do this at server end, and can't mark things as spam
6) the camera is only 2 mega pixels, surely this is really old technology
it's a beautiful thing, and mine being free (present from the boss) I don't really care too much, but it does seem odd. I guess most of these can be rectified with OS upgrades, but knowing apple they will only come as standard with iphone 2.0 released in 6months and demanding a new 18 month contract.

More gripes, dunno if they've been highlighted already:
1. Can't synch at more than one location - I use my ipod and phone at home and at work, and can happily synch both at both locations. - the iPhone wants to wipe any data syched at either location, which frankly, is a pile of shit. Why shouldn't I be able to add music at work or at home? Or are they automatically treating all customers as potential thieves?
2. You can't just drag and drop music onto the iPhone like you can with an iPod. You've got to create a playlist which is then synched with the phone, hence taking a simple and effective way of moving things the way you want to into the realms of Windows Mobile. Pure stupidity.
3. My iPod remote "is not compatible with iPhone" the message says when I plug it in. Well, almost forgivable, until you think, hang on, not only is the headphone socket recessed so that you have to either use Apple's leaky headphones, or buy an adapter, but that the supplied "remote" - the tiny clicky thing on the iPhone's headphone cable will only pause or advance a track, there is no volume control so you have to get the bloody thing out of your pocket every time one track is louder than another.
And there's no iPhone remote available to my knowledge. Certainly not from Apple.
Of course there's other minor gripes, but they've been listed earlier. The one fantastic thing is web browsing.

2. Yes and no. An unecessary step has been put in the place of a simple functon.

Saw some posing tosser on the train with one tonight, he kept move pictures around and zooming in on them then looking up every so often to see if anyone was watching, then back to more wanky iPhone play, more looking up.
After he gave up, he put it away and pulled out a 5g iPod and proceed to hold it out in front of him then scroll through music (I assume).

I've always been able to. Though I do remember a period a couple of years ago when it was an issue, but apart from that it's always worked.Crispy said:hang on a minute - how do you sync your ipod in two locations - each ipod is linked to one copy of itunes

Yeah I do this, my 4G is able to sync at work, on this laptop, my old desktop and even a family members pc no problem.

Oh don't get me wrong I think it's very cool but I would never stand there 'showing it off' to complete strangers in some odd attempt to look cool..editor said:

If there was *any* other device that didn't have a slot for a memory card, of whatever kind, even a propriatery one like Sony, people would go mad!
