OK, consider me a newbie. I have a Samsung blackjack 2 windows mobile smart phone with mobile speak and was planning on purchasing mobile geo. I keep hearing everybody going absolutely crazy over access to the I-phone. Can somebody tell me why this is so great? I don't really understand the hype. I do understand we get access right out of the box with voice over. I do understand that once you get used to the touch screen and the VO gestures and whatnot that this is really great access, according to what everybody is saying. But, why is the I-phone so great? Does it do GPS comparable to mobile Geo or wayfinder? What does this phone do that is making everybody turn inside out? I'd love to understand this, so any help you can provide would be great. I have AT&T and probably could switch if I wanted to, but I just don't understand why this phone is the second coming.

However, then we can take this same logic to any new interface. For example, those who remember the days of switching from DOS to Windows or who used the Linux command line and then moved to Gnome etc. Ah how the debate rages, but alas this to shall pass. I myself can't wait to get an iPhone and I can already see all the advantages it will offer over the windows mobile device I am using currently and don't much care for.

It's a whole new model for human interface interaction. After three weeks, I have no problems just touching the battery status, or really much of anything else. Things are not hard to find. They do not move around, and the flick method of navigation is great when you are having trouble with a brand-new and unfamiliar screen. Sitting with an iPhone for an hour and then declaring it slow, inefficient, and difficult to navigate is just silly. :) The ever growing number of VI iPhone users will tell you the same. Sure, it takes time to be comfortable. Once you are, it's fantastic. :) Josh de Lioncourt .my other mail provider is an owl.
