I just came across the article "10 ways the Nokia N800 is better than Apple's iPhone" and I'm surprised with the ingeniuty of the author. He just completely misses the point. Don't get me wrong, I like the Nokia N800 and is very likely I will buy one very soon. But there is just a single way iPhone is better than the N800 and anything else out there: usability.
just consider this excerpt from a review of the iPhone "You could call iPhone perfect":
"The touch-interface works flawlessly, in terms of both technical function and user interface design. Whatever you want to do -- select an album to play, make or take a call, compose and send an e-mail -- your first impulse is almost always the correct one. It is the simpler phone ever. And there are no lags, no pauses, no waiting for the slickly animated UI to catch up with you, even when you're scrolling through a stack of album art that's flopping past your finger in 3D: It's liquid." (bolds are mine)
This is simpler device ever, indeed. That is. No matter the open/close software discussion. No matter pricing. It is . . . just elegant, functional, simple. You WANT to use it. Even non geeks and technology illiterates want to use it.
You can call it perfect.
