What iphone does is, take features to a higher level. A level that makes more sense to users and makes those features more useful in a practical, realistic, and legal way.

      Guys..

      as you can see, they are late but the best..
      I am not an apple fanboy, i got an HTC HERO and a Ipod touch.

      Look at cut and paste, it is late but until now, it is the best.
      and apple is promising that multitasking here in iphone will be the best, and i believe in them because of there very smooth UI..

      You are talking about symbian? hey, that OS in not as smooth as Iphone UI, it is even the worst OS in terms of USER INTERFACE.

Rest assured, the next OS would still be running smoothly on iphone 3gs and the next gen iphone.

              [deleted post]"wow congratulations to you iphone owners! Finally, you can do almost everything i could do on my 10 years old Nokia. And still manage not to have a simple file manager. Go on, take another 10 years to create one. What a way to go..."

              Thank you!
              And after switching from Nokia to Apple, i FINALLY got something that I never was able to... USE ALL THE DEVICE MEMORY!
              Sure, cuz with Nokia i couldn't use like 1/3 of the memory card/device memory without lag or freezes.

              Oh, and after Apple, i never got weekly updates to manage with crappy software, by Nokia.

              Thank you, APPLE!

                    Stop being stupid.

                    Why would you bash some one for finding in iPhone, a device that suits for him?

                    That's dumb.

                              why won't the multi tasking work on older models?

                              in the press demo it looked like a 3GS and the multi tasking doesn't look like it needs more hardware.

                              Come on Apple don't throw away the old phones and ipods just to sell the 4th gen
