“Was the iPhone worth the hype? In a word, yes. After putting Apple’s first smartphone through its paces, we believe it’s the best personal communicator your money can buy. Sure, it has its shortcomings, but they’re minor relative to its merits,” Jeff Bertloucci reports for Kiplinger.
Apple’s “iPhone has so many clever innovations it’s hard to catalog them all,” Bertloucci reports.
“The bad news is that iPhone doesn’t support Adobe’s widely-used Flash technology, at least not yet. This severely limits your Web video-viewing options; for instance, you can’t watch TV shows at ABC.com,” Bertloucci reports.
“Security experts are also reporting that the iPhone is an easy target for hacker attacks. Using the Safari browser, for instance, an iPhone user could surf to a rogue website, which might install software on the iPhone that extracts your personal information. However, no widespread iPhone attacks have been reported thus far,” Bertloucci reports.
MacDailyNews Note: That proof-off-concept issue was corrected last month with iPhone Software 1.0.1 update. Version 1.0.2 was released yesterday. Apple’s OS X-based iPhone is not an “easy” target for hacker attacks.
Bertloucci continues, “What makes the iPhone special is its clever implementation and sleek design. If you want the best personal communicator out there, here it is.”
