› iPhone

iPhone has became one of the most popular PDA. iPhone now has more commercial apps than Windows Mobile. I have recently acquired an iPhone from one of my associates. It certainly is a great device for viewing email, especially with HTML, Word, Excel or PDF attachment. But it is not a great device to compose an email. The on screen keyboard made it hard to type a long email. The web browser is far better than any other PDA of similar size. The “multi-touch” feature makes zooming in/out of screen a joy to use. Since iPhone can’t replace my Blackberry in composing email, I am carrying both iPhone and Blackberry every day. I can’t wait to see if Apple is going to release a new iPhone in June.
