    robt - I own a MacBook Pro and an iPod nano, so I'm no Apple hating troll - which part of my post do you think I have no idea about? Am I wrong in stating that Apple seem to have claimed that they just invented folders last week?!
    I've re-read it and can't see inaccuracies?

    dont see why so many people diss the iphone lol.

    Jealousy perhaps? who knows.

    But i can honestly say in the 20 months ive had my 16gb 3G the only problems i ever had were when i got the fone but apple fixed these problems with updates, the 3gs came out yes i was tempted but in reality its just a faster 3g with video.
    Roll on Apple 4.0 ive got a copy of the fw in the house but alas i cant install on my fone as i dont have osx and it doesnt currently work with windows itunes, but when it does im sure to install it.

    Multitasking - run 2 application at a same time.

    for e.g while you type something you can hear songs on computers, but iPhone this is very limited at the moment, only Apple provided apps only can be multitask. Now thirdparty apps also can be multitask.

    Yes, you are wrong in stating that.

    From what I recall of the iPhone OS 4 preview, they announced their implementation of folders for organising iPhone apps.

    They did not announce that they just invented folders.

    Unlike, of course, in 1983 when Apple introduced the Apple Lisa and folders.

    "We need all that and more before computers become as commonplace as colour TVs and electric typewriters."
    :rotfl:

    "The Lisa couldn’t have been developed without such a deep commitment, and no other company I can think of could afford such a project or would be interested in doing it this way (the Lisa project reportedly cost over $50 million and used more than 200 person-years of effort!).... the computer with 1 megabyte of RAM, two floppy-disk drives, the Profile hard disk, the six application programs ... the price of this package is $9995;" :eek:
