You're easily taking for granted the heart of why iPhone is successful and why others have failed - and that's the UI. It's easier said than done (just ask Microsoft and that hot selling Zune).<BR/><BR/>I know more people who have given up on the "advanced features" of their phones because it's too complicated to navigate to them - the iPhone eliminates that with the touchscreen (and guess what, Apple has the patents).<BR/><BR/>iPhone is already a runaway success... I noticed that when t-mobile is attacking it in the ads. I notice it in TV shows. Apple is making plenty of money having it tied to a carrier and while it's not ideal for the consumer (no complaints here), I don't hear of any negative reports where a consumer has quit the iPhone because of AT&T.<BR/><BR/>BTW - the iPod is also tied to a closed network (iTunes).<BR/><BR/>p.s. Did you upgrade to Windows Vista?Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06376601781198556936noreply@blogger.com
