Not sure if they are correct.). 1) Costly (20K). No value for money. 2) Just 2MP camera. No front camera. Even N73(11-12k) has 3.2 MP cam and a front vga cam. 3) No video recording. 4) Bluetooth transfer only to the "i" devices from apple. Like, I have to buy an MacBook if I need to transfer data. 5) Due to reason 4, 16GB memory is useless. 6) Internal battery. I have to contact directly to apple to repair in any case. 7) Cant copy text from received emails. Don't remember if there is anything more. Does these reasons seem better for a common man? :-) On Sat, Jul 12, 2008 at 10:07 PM, Raj <rajuramdas at gmail.com> wrote: 1. iPhone completely blocks free software. Developers must pay a tax to Apple, who becomes the sole authority over what can and can't be on everyone's phones. 2. iPhone endorses and supports Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) technology. 3. iPhone exposes your whereabouts and provides ways for others to track you without your knowledge. 4. iPhone won't play patent- and DRM-free formats like Ogg Vorbis and Theora. 5. iPhone is not the only option. There are better alternatives on the horizon that respect your freedom, don't spy on you, play free media formats, and let you use free software -- like the FreeRunner (http://www.openmoko.com). * Read the full story http://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/5-reasons-to-avoid-iphone-3g -- Regards, Raj Registered GNU/Linux user #469530 _______________________________________________ Mailinglist mailing list Mailinglist at ilug-cochin.org http://ilug-cochin.org/mailman/listinfo/mailinglist_ilug-cochin.org -- Regards, Jain M Johny jainmjo[at]gmail Please do not print this email unless it is absolutely necessary.
