Would there be a queue snaking round the block? Would there be thousands of people clamouring to get in? Um, no. Check out the video of the guy in the front of the queue, as of midday today. And for added fun, click over the jump and check out the guy who was at the front of the queue at the New York launch I went down to the iPhone launch today, down on Regent Street in London.

I think RIm will be pushing the design of the blackberry even more in the future so by combining iPhone concerns and blackberry issues you have a huge user base.

Designer can simply add corresponding CSS3 properties, and everything will work in other browsers that supports those properties. So the design is not locked in. So how could this be cooked up as IE4 all over again. This is not even remotely close to that kind of history deliberately created by Microsoft. all those sites with iPhone portals are not designed using any proprietary technology, but instead are built on top of web standards with some of the elements assigned with unique attribute for supporting Google Maps, contacts info…

"While mobile Safari performs brilliantly when it comes to CSS rendering, it does have a few problems." That's the problem - and I don't know why they didn't fixed it. By testing the phone you normally see the problem. Maybe a bugfix will be available soon :) I also bought the IPhone and like the Safari browser.

I opined that it would be a clever decision to also develop websites to be “mobile-device friendly”. We could start off with the freely available Opera Mini as a testbed for web contents and presentational medium and not tarry too much with iPhone’s Safari yet.

It is widely regarded as a splendid idea to read an article before you comment on it, as opposed to after. Which, if you truly believe it says the iPhone isn't good, you probably haven't. Feel free to return with your insightful comments once you have grasped what the article is actually about. Thank you, and have a nice day. youssef spencer:
