USAToday reviews the iPhone





To sum up Baig’s review of the iPhone for USAToday, I’ll cover the top five things he likes about the iPhone and like to see on it.

Apple iPhone

5 things Baig like:

1 - Terrific widescreen iPod and clever Cover Flow feature.
[Vincent] Yes, that we already knew.

2 - Smart sensors that change the orientation of the screen from landscape to portrait mode
[Vincent] Yes, that we already knew – cool huh?

3 - Gorgeous 3.5-inch multi-touch screen does exceptional job displaying pictures, Internet, maps, e-mail etc.
[Vincent] Ditto!

4 - Flicking through contacts and pictures, pinching to make pix and the Web larger, and tapping on the intelligent virtual keyboard is fun (once you get the hang of it).
[Vincent] Ditto, ditto…

5 - Phone is easy to dial despite lack of physical keypad. Visual voicemail.
[Vincent] Yes, this is new, a testament for anyone still having lingering concerns about the lack of a physical keyboard.

5 things Baig like like to see:

1 - Faster "3G" or "third generation" data network
[Vincent] Yes, yes, most likely in the iPhone 2.0.

2 - Removable battery
[Vincent] It never happened with the iPod, what makes you think Apple will give the iPhone a swappable battery?

3 - Greater storage (through storage slot)
[Vincent] Next version, iPhone 2.0. Apple is dependent on memory suppliers.

4 - Extra features including GPS, IM, voice calling, Adobe Flash, and using your own music library for ringtones.
[Vincent] GPS will be nice, IM will be super nice but won’t happen if AT&T will have anything to with it. Why? So they can force us into paying $20 per month for unlimited SMS. Voice calling? You meant voice dialing? That’s not a big issue with me. Adobe Flash is a nice bonus to have. Using our own library of music library for ringtones won’t happen, again if AT&T has anything to do with it; for obvious reasons.

5 - Lower price
[Vincent] No kidding.
