[...] Yes — I’m a part of the Cult! Even though the first generation of Apple products are not to be bought, I went for it. To talk about something in detail you have to know in and out (you always can read about it), but then when it comes to an experience you have to experience it to talk about it. This product might be one of the most hyped launches of this decade (atleast in the USA) So it is worth the hype? Is it a really a great product? Will it revolutionize the mobile industry? You decide… but here is my take on it. [...]

[...] iPhone seems to be Apple’s answer to Intel’s MID & UMPC products, Hopefully someone will make a comparison of these two soon. Remember the Q1 and Newton comparison (which is nowhere close to each other). Looks like apple is already in the plans to make their multi-touch interface in to the ibooks as well. Just to talk about something in detail you have to know about(you always can read about it), but then when it comes to an experience you have to experience it to talk about it.

“it is 3G and hence there is no need for a WiFi”

Not so fast. Even ignoring the fact that even 802.11b is faster than 3G, the real problem is that 3G/EDGE/HSDPA is EXPENSIVE in most places compared to WiFi.

With WiFi, I can connect to my local area network at home or at the office and surf or even VoIP for free - you can’t do that over 3G unless you have a really great dataplan, which are rare.

Sorry, in general, I wouldn’t do networking on a smartphone without WiFi. I’m just not that rich (even if I can afford to own an iPhone or a Blackjack - although I prefer my HTC Wizard, thanks.

[...] But then Time seems to be saying that Apple which has seems to be having the major buzz for its forthcoming iPhone (running a slim down version of the Mac OS X) might actually make an UMPC which might be a killer competition for this market. Time suggests that they have something like a “subnotebook” already in the plans! Apple could employ flash memory instead of a standard hard disc, extending a mini Mac’s battery life and allowing it to start up quickly, like a phone. A Jobs subnotebook would likely be bigger than FlipStart’s but smaller than a laptop. Apple would have a distinct software advantage, given its focus on nongeeks. [...]

Size is the issue here for me.

Yeah sure its nice and thin, but look at the other dimensions? And comparisons seem to be with other large devices. What about something from HTC?
