Colin Devroe: Thoughts on the iPhone

  • Paul Levinson · 2 years ago
    Good post. I'm happy to see all of this writing about the iPhone - it's abeen a long time coming. I've been writing about it since 1979...

    Great write up, I got to "borrow" Craig's for the morning today. Much of what you wrote up is what I was feeling too. The one thing that amazes me most coming from the land of Palm is how actually speedy it is. The interface has no slug or lag time. Palm it always looked great on their video but once you'd get using it, it would delay, and get slower over time.

    Do I want one myself? oh yah! But I'm going to try to hold out as long as I can. I was glad to see the pricing plans for data not too ridiculous. I was paying 35.00 a month with Cingular for unlimited data on my Treo650.

    It's pretty exciting to think of what's coming down the road in terms of software updates for the iPhone. The possibilities are endless.

    This review is a good read too, from a former Treo user, who is loving his iPhone.

    Basically you need to setup your pop account to use a username which is prefixed with "recent:".

    Awesome review, as usual, Colin.

    Looking forward to getting my own iPhone next month after I get back home to Hawaii. Until then, I'm living vicariously through you! ;-)
