A PC sings iPhone’s praises

Yes, I’m a PC, but that doesn’t mean all Apple products are dead to me.I recently tried out the iPhone 3G, now it’s my primary phone. I chose the iPhone because I was looking for a fast and reliable phone from AT&T, this seemed to be the pick.
The iPhone was surely an innovative leader in the market when it came out. Right now it is still one of the best phones on the market. However, it has been lagging behind as of recently. With few real innovations in the past few years, Apple will have to start innovating again or fall behind. Apple will announce its iPhone OS 4.0 on May 7, and I hope for its sake that major changes are made. A new iPhone is also in the works, but I do not suspect that very much is going to change as compared to what we have now.
That being said, the iPhone is one of my favorite devices thus far. While I haven’t tried any Android phones (There are only two that I know of for the market right now for AT&T) it is far superior to what Windows Mobile or RIM has to offer so far (See my post about Windows Mobile 7.) The speed and Web browsing capabilities are second to none, and the app store has personally helped me wake up and track my running.
Along with the iPhone, I had a chance to check out the iPad and determine if my review from the past was correct. It was.
The iPad is sleek, I admit that. It’s sleek and fast like the iPhone. Still I see it as completely useless, especially at the price point. The typing is awkward, and carrying around such a large device with an unprotected screen seems like a recipe for disaster.

So you’re saying that an iPhone is better than Blackberry and Windows Mobile. That says nothing. Seriously, you keep ignoring me, but try an android device, and you will forever leave behind Apple with their proprietary software and closed down app approval process.
