the iphone, on top of having the number one MP3 player interface, has the most current technology, more abilities than any other smart phone currently has, more third party applications than any other smart phone, more memory than any other current smart phone..
its not marketing schemes. if you will note, i have already said that i was against the iphone at first. i also thought that other smart phones would keep up with it. i was dead wrong.
apple has cornered the mp3 player market, and now they have the smart phone market running as well. about a year ago i wanted nothing to do with an iphone. now i want one pretty bad. i have seen what they are capable of, i have seen some of the programs you can add to them, and they are pretty powerful. if you can show me another smart phone that can do what an iphone can do i would be impressed.
but the iphone is more than just hype. the iphone is adaptable, user friendly, and has the capabilities to do just about anything. i own a blackberry, and it is pretty much useless compared to my friends iphone that i have played with.
