Need for Speed Underground should be coming out for the iPhone soon, we're not talking some lame Java or Symbian wannabe with stupid midi sounds, that you can get for free off the pirate sites, we're talking full 3D graphics and decent sound courtesy of the SDK and the App store.
10,000 Apps have been made available since July, developers are able to make games and get paid for them, anyone with an iPhone and iTunes can download and install them and know they'll work, they can also give feedback straight to developers and suggest improvements, let's see you do that with the junk you can get from the pirate sites.
This is the beauty of OSX, I don't know why all you whiners can't grasp this.
This is why the iPhone dominates, the figures speak for themselves no matter how much you want to stick your fingers in your ears and keep on spewing out the "No MMS, no bluetooth file transfer, no massive camera, no video calls...blah, blah, blah" mantra

Steve, 05 Dec 2008Who makes videocalls? In the UK, most 3G networks don't ... moreThe iPhoney 3g is not UK exclusive and most of the world supports 3g with video calls and that is why the iPhoney 3g fails as a phone and nothing than just a marketing phenomenon.

PS: Iphone rival to the PSP ?:)))Lol, have you ever seen a PSP in you`re life? It`s puts any Iphone game to shame. Soon i`ll see apple fanboys comparing the Iphone with the PS3/Xbox or a Gaming PC :))).

I will say up front that I like Windows Mobile, and I am happy with the usability of my Omnia.
The sales figures for the current quarter are not surprising. Apple released a much anticipated phone in July and had much publicity all over the world (everyone would be familiar with the actors paid to line up in eastern Europe!). It is a nice phone and the fact that a lot of people chose to buy it is a fitting result.
I will be more interested in the 4th quarter result before I declare the Iphone the undisputed smartphone ruler. There have been some sweet phones released this quarter which give smartphone buyers real options (eg Omnia, Touch HD, Nokia 5800).
It will be interesting to see how the sales figure line up and whether Apple come back with an additional lure to keep their market share.

The iPhoney 3g fails as a phone and as a smart phone. It does look good as an accessory...
A 3g phone that cannot do video calls (the main point of 3g) is laughable.

yep.i knew it.no matter how many features a phone has, it all comes down to the operating system - how good is it - and the Apple OS is still the most stable, smooth, clean, simple and user-friendly there is.whether in computers or cellphones.

Nowadays people buy phones just to compare who have the latest technology and most popular device, not for their own use.
What's wrong with people nowadays? If you have the money, buy whatever you want. YOU are the one who enjoy the device.
"I use Nokia hence I'm a smart guy, you iphone users are all dumb"
"Iphone is the king of mobile, you guys are just simply jealous"
"I send MMS, and send file using bluetooth. Iphone is a crap"
"I don't send mms, nor bluetooth. Nokia is a waste of money"
Sheesh.

ok, the only thing that makes apple iphone one step ahead is the advertising and the hype! nothing more, nothing less. iphone is a good phone, but there's a lot of smartphones way better than iphone! and dont brag about owning an iphone because you can afford it, it is one of the cheapest phone in the market anyway! ok, lets forget about MMS, but can you take videos with it? can you install softwares in it aside from the Apps that you download? can you copy and paste? ha! its not even a powerful business phone! what a shame! if you want a phone to show off with your pathetic friends, get an iphone. if you want a phone to show off with your boss and collegues and sure, also your friends, get HTC phones!

WooW Steve jobs...apple voodoo..woops...
talking about OSes yes i admit it WinMo is not as colourful as iphones where they have cool icons , UI...but hey? its way to different...comparing bananas to oranges..
WM devices are never a multimedia gadget...they are for professionals...iphones are for youngsters and grown up kids..whoops ;P
compare it with nokia , or samsung or SE...
lets see...Nokia fans + SE fans + Samsung fans + LG fans >< Apple fans
iphones are joke , last year 2G this year 3G next year 3.5G
i bet jobs are laughing at you who keeps updating iphone versions(read = dispose) each year while struggling to pay your debts.
at least i dont change mine every year or less..

[deleted post]Thanks for attempting to explain those simple facts to our anti-American friend, but I'm afraid they'll be lost on him/her. Some people are so incredibly bitter about seemingly inconsequential things, like the extremely impressive iPhone sales figures, that they turn to blind insults and hollow facts. Admittedly, I too got sucked into this ridiculous debate. In the end, my true feeling is that all the companies and phones everyone has been mentioning here do deserve a certain amount of respect; I'm actually a huge fan of both Nokia and Sony Ericsson. But the article isn't about the those companies, it was about Apple, and the iPhone. Being a citizen of Silicon Valley who is NOT struggling with mortgage or car payments, and an iPhone owner, I'm incredibly proud of Apple and Steve Jobs. Sorry if my prior comment was offensive; it's easy to get worked up when others are badmouthing your 'team'. Anyway, I'm going to get back to enjoying my iPhone, from which this was posted. Peace

Is that all you do with your phone? Sending MMS? LOL. The iphone has tons of applications much better than MMS. So many that you will forget MMS ever existed, lol.

And we know that Steve is not sharing. Who does? Would you share your profit with everyone? LOL. And why would we eat our iphones? First of all, it's not edible, lol. 2nd, there's a lot of food available for consumption. Ummm, I still have my car, and house. You really need to stop stereotyping. And your argument is really quite irrelevant.

The problem is that apple advertises the iPhone much more agressively than other WM devices. here in singapore, the apple iPhone enjoys a full page spread while you literally had to squint and search for an advert for the htc touch pro.
go figure...
