“So … is it all that? After all the ink that’s been spilled describing, previewing and hyping the Apple iPhone, does it deserve the attention? I’d have to say yes,” Ryan Kim reports for The San Francisco Chronicle.
“It has its flaws and omissions, but this is a device that will be defined by what it brings to the table, not what it leaves behind… This Internet, music and cellular device is a game-changer,” Kim reports.
“The lure of the iPhone is that it makes you want to use it. It’s actually fun. Do we say that about any phones? Hardly. It’s not really the physical design, which is a marvel of simplicity. It’s what happens when you pick it up and use it. There is nothing intimidating about it. Rather, it’s inviting,” Kim reports.
“For a first effort, this still blows away so many other phones because it takes us to a new level of interaction with our mobile devices. This makes the promise of a ‘mobile computing’ future seem possible because it’s now something we want to do.” Kim reports.
