I've found myself defending the iPhone experience for its simplicity and intuitiveness to people who argue that it doesn't offer anything better than the current stock of smart phones and PDAs out there -- and this was before I'd even touched one. Now that I finally have, the difference is mind-blowing. It's like <a href="http://powazek.com/posts/604" rel="nofollow">people are saying</a> -- it's like using something from the future. The depeer meaning there, I think, is that it just KNOWS what you want to do and makes it easier to do it. That seems so futuristic because so few devices care to do that. Real sharp analysis, Keith.

I commute to Saint Charles almost every day. So, on Sat. I got in my car, went to T store, no line, no fuss. I am looking to change my usage to best take advantage of iPhone. Best part was turning on wifi and "it just works." Looks like my IPod goes up to my museum of cell stuff along with Radio Mail, Palm, etc...... You will love this.

You've gotta be kidding! But so far, the reviews have been quite good from people like you, Keith, who have actually purchased one. I've gotta get one!
