I wasn't talking about what the iPhone looks like. I was talking about the easy in which it does things. It isn't perfect. I've seen a pre now and they are good too. Still not perfect.
I agree with what you said, other than suggesting I didn't say the same thing. :) If anything. What I said is a more extreme example of what you said. I'm predicting that something that uses the same strategy the iPhone uses. Simple device. Simple basic interface with discoverable or learnable complexities. No obvious file system. A built-in store where you can buy all software upgrades and media. A work-anywhere philosophy, which will eventually be true enough.. I also lumped the Kindle in with these devices. It shares a lot of the same hardware, especially if you avoid the screen. Something that size, but more like an iPhone with the ability to swap apps and run background processes will be what replaces the PC. Mark my words. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jarod Tang To: William Brall Cc: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, June 20, 2009 9:38 AM Subject: Re: [IxDA Discuss] Palm Pre On Sat, Jun 20, 2009 at 3:32 AM, William Brall <[email protected]> wrote: I'm all for some competition for Apple. I think the future of all personal computing are in something iPhone like. I've already seen some people stop using their PC in favor of the iPhone. I'm not sure japanness will agree with you while they have their very good handsets. What iPhone really make sense is its strategy of blending to the life webs, e.g. services, iTurns store. etc, instead of what it looks like.
