Thoughts on the Iphone

Well it's been a few days now with the iPhone, so time for some reality to add to the WOW that happened when I opened the box last week.

First things first as a mobile phone it works in a pretty slick manner , though if your a fan of MMS you'll be disappointed because it doesn't work out of the box, there is a work around on 'jailbroken' iPhones but to be honest it's just confusing and I can't be assed to do terminal commands anymore.
Standard txt msg'ing though is a dream come true for those of you familiar with iChat or for that sake MSN messenger (spit) it remembers your txt Msg's as conversations so that's makes keeping up with the 'thread' of the txting a breeze. So ten out of ten for that implimentation.

The email is pretty fantastic full email preview complete with links that are clickable and also the graphics/pictures that are embedded in the mail eg : amazon /hmv mails look and behave exactly like they do your computer.

Text input on handheld devices ala the 'Palm' has always been bit of a bugbear , let's face it take away somebody's kybd and the long faces and complaints about bloody gadgets start. Well you ain't seen nothing yet ladies and gentlemen till you typed txt on an iphone everything else you've used with or without stylus is just soooooo last year!
it corrects your typing as you go along by working out which key you really wanted to hit and when you hit the space bar as I am now while I type this txt it inserts the word it thinks you really intended to type its got to be seen to believed it's brilliant.

Well that's a few thoughts for the moment on how me and the iPhone are getting along more to come as it does have a few more tricks up its sleeve, so bye for now.

Ps: did I tell you if you hit the spacebar twice as in ala double clicking it inserts a '.' (period/full stop) ;)
