> I've never needed and still don't need my iPhone. It's the wrong solution for a real problem - wrong size, wrong technology, obscenely overpriced, both in hardware and services.
I bought my first "Personal Digital Assistant" around 1996, an HP 200LX. It ran PC software on an 80186 chip, had a CGA-resolution gray-scale screen, lacked any wireless capability, and cost around $600. Unsubsidized.
I was delighted with it.
I subsequently bought another, then moved to a Handspring Visor, then a Sony Clié. The Sony was eventually replaced by an iPhone 3. It was so much better than any of its predecessors that it almost seemed underpriced.
