[Item Permalink] The iPod that transformed into a phone -- Comment()
This weekend seems to be iPhone-crazy in the USA, and newspapers are writing yet more articles about the phenomenon, from the New York Times (Gave Up Sleep and Maybe a First-Born, but at Least I Have an iPhone) to Macworld (The iPod that's really a phone). The phone seems to meet most expectations, but there are shortcomings as well.

For me the most interesting comment was the lack of copy/paste functionality. The easiest way to transfer information seems to be through the mail program. But given Apple's track record, it is to be expected that the software will improve soon.

The iPhone certainly is a 1.0 device, just as the first iPod was. I own a second-generation iPod, which is quite nice, but the current iPods have developed quite a bit, they are almost completely different devices.
