    Its also the first widely popular smartphone that 'jsut works' The iPhone IS an incredible piece of hardware/software. Its not as open as we would like, but that doesnt mean its not a VERY capable device. I carried a windows phone for 4 years. I couldnt even install ACROBAT on it without failing.
