I was very skeptical at the whole Iphone craze.

The device obviously lacked major features almost standard in any other phone. The very few applications available limited the actual use of the breakthrough screen technology and the keyboard was incomparable to any qwerty.

Then with the 3G version, with lots of fixes and improvements on the stability and hardware, came the Apps Store.

Now virtually anybody can develop applications, and what applications! People who really understand software are starting to use the full potential of the beatiful device wich was craving to be usefull.

Its still lacks some basic, important features (copy/paste…why?) but the usefulness of the applications, and the USER EXPERIENCE in capital letters is definitely worth the hassle now.

You still wont have a good phone, but who uses the phone to actually make a call anymore ?

Screen, Browsing, Email, Messaging, Social Apps, Games, Music, Video, Podcasts, Pictures, Storage, Connectivity, Utilities, Contacts, GeoAwareness: function and experience wise are the best on the market, and not compared to All-in-one devices but comparing each feature to the best portable device who’s job is to do something specific.

Phone, Camera and Typing features are not even close, but they are not so bad + its sexy as hell (can’t believe I am saying this, but it really is) and the rest makes it a definite buy!

I am once more amazed at Steve Jobs vision! I am sorry I didn’t buy into it without first actually seeing where this all was going to…
