re: Why does Apple string its fanbase along

Like I said, not even remotely close to the original iphone. What is there to disagree about?

apple removed the stylus, added pinch to zoom, forced everyone to use an on-screen keyboard and added a store for apps.

all those were innovative but the basic software running on the first iphone was no more better or worse than the windows mobile software at the time.

hell apple didnt even have copy & paste originally.

i never said apple didnt take the smartphone out of the developer's hands and into Paris Hilton's purse but if you had any basic understanding of the evolution of the smartphone you'd know the majority of the things apple put into their phone had been out there for 5+ years already.
