Richmond,
If you rotate the phone sideways the text is much larger and then you
can also zoom in from there. In fact you can zoom in so that each word
fits on screen. It is not comfortable enough to read a book with but
for email and use lists it is just fine and websites are amazing. You
can't get the feel of 'touch' or 'pinch' from the emulator so
comparing it to a mouse won't give you a great comparison. Neither of
these issues seems the right parameters anyway for choosing a phone?
For me this is the first of many, many pda's that even comes close to
allowing me to be productive and I use mine all day long for
everything from directions, email check ups, sms, pictures, web
browsing, Calendar reminders, passing away free time with YouTube and
games etc. I check the weather a few times a day and listening to my
music. I bring it to camp to plug into my TV for Movies, I bring on my
boat for Music, I hook it up to my RV for both Videos, Movies and for
Music. My last vacation I didn't even bring my laptop which is a first
since I have my iPhone and can stay productive.
I find this to be the most useful portable device I have ever bought.
I am also using Revolution to prototype software for the iPhone and my
company is putting it's software on it.
I can't imagine money better spent than on an iPhone. It truly is
amazing for day to day use. I can type almost as fast on it as I can
with a full keyboard. The interface is completely intuitive and I have
not yet let someone use it that did not get how to use it immediately.
It is not meant to be a full fledged computer but for most things that
I do outside of the office or home it can't be beat.
I only wish it had more space and copy paste (coming soon).

These tools contain an iPhone emulator.
I have just checked the Use-List using iPhone's version of Safari,
which has served several purposes:
1. Tells me that should I have the money it would be better spent
elsewhere because:
1.1 I don't have eyes that are good enough to read Use-Lists that
appear as small as they do on iPhone.
1.2 I like using a mouse.
2. Confirms my belief that a PC is one thing, and a telephone is
another thing.
However, fooling around with the iPhone emulator made me start
thinking about how to develop something for it with RR: why? 'cause
its there!
sincerely, Richmond Mathewson.
