slow browsing, pretty much still sucks (ie and opera) I almost look at it as another gaming platform. it's already getting a lot of interesting games and apps. nice big screen, I bet transcoded videos would like nice on it. Whatever it is doing, it's doing incredibly well. I'm sure it's analyzing the html for frames, div's, tables, etc. It's scary how good it is at zooming in on text and formatting/wrapping it so it's easy to read. It's so much better than ie or opera with touchflo on the fuze. best browsing experience ever in a hand held. oh yeah and the built in note taking app kind of sucks doesn't sync notes or tasks with outlook Why do some apps not let you go horizontal and therefore get the bigger keyboard like notes? touch keyboard which I hear you get use to in about two weeks.
NETPERSEC GADGET MAC
If I plan to write native apps for it I need a mac (and please not a hackintosh) to run the iphone sdk on it. I don't like ipods in general for mp3 playback b/c I love rockbox so I probably won't use it much.
NETPERSEC GADGET INSTALL
I hate itunes but I guess I would have to install it. I know it's thin and has that nice big screen but it also makes the length and width quite a bit bigger than the fuze.
I like keeping my phone in my front pocket, and I'm afraid it's a bit too big for that. no way to tether but I guess you can jailbreak So if you really wanted to you could take it apart and replace the battery yourself. At least on the 3G the battery is NOT soldered in (unlike the original iphone). non user replaceable batter but this is becoming a bit less of a concern. Over two weeks I thought about it, did a ton of online research, and read reviews. I went to the at&t store and tried the fuze and iPhone back to back for at least an hour. I quietly waited for the next HTC phone while everybody was going crazy over the iPhone 3G.
NETPERSEC GADGET DRIVER
I looked at the replacement model, the Tilt, but backed off because of the video driver issues. I would have considered the google G1 except it's only on T-Mobile and their coverage is just way too small for my needs. I was already on AT&T so I pretty much limited my choices to that carrier. I've been using my Sony Ericsson T637 for I think 4 yrs now. But it sure is hard to beat the convenience. My fear has always been that you drain the battery playing games, listening to music, or watching videos and then you can't make a phone call when you really need to or miss an important call. I'm also a very late adopter when it comes to the whole convergence thing with mobile electronics. My gadget background comes from a long list of non-apple products: archos jukebox recorder 20 and later sandisk sansa e280 mp3 players with rockbox custom firmware, wife uses an HTC 8525 windows mobile 6 smart phone, my ipaq 4150 pocket pc, popcorn hour, dell laptops, etc. I'll usually take power, flexibility, and functionality over ease of use or flash/image.
NETPERSEC GADGET PC
It just so happens I'm a windows developer so I use the PC and related technologies everyday so I'm comfortable with it. I mean they do some things that really piss me off (though I'm getting more tolerant of vista). It's not like I love Microsoft or anything. Also, I probably have to admit I'm a bit biased. :-), and the attitudes of some of their ummm lets say very loyal fans. I really don't go to Starbucks that often let alone sip lattes.
I don't even like long sleeved shirts much. I just don't like how apple does business (constant hardware upgrades and breaking backwards compatibility with accessories, expensive battery replacement policies, etc), the image they try to push so hard (I hate turtle necks. It's not that I exactly hate their products. If you read my blog at all you probably know I'm no apple lover.
