I liked this article. I took it tongue in cheek, because it reminded me of how I felt as a Palm user talking about WM about four years ago.
Then I got my MDA vario. And that made all my previous critiques as a Palm user evaporate.
Well, the iPhone is that much a jump from WM in my view. But not for everyone. Ask my Palm Treo using wife. She is still happy. :-)
With respect to using the keyboard on my iPhone, I take exception to the writer's views, but only mildly. The keyboard takes getting used to, and I have found it is important to learn a new skillset to become accurate. My accuracy now is such that I can chat over IM without my friends realizing I am not using a keyboard. The auto-correct features are worth trusting for the most part. And once you learn where the big finger pads need to land, you can become very accurate. Also, when entering in passwords and the like, you can touch and hold and hover over the screen until the proper character appears and not until you let go will it be recorded.
The iPhone is not perfect, but it is the best PDA/handset OS I have ever used.
So far. :-)
