No, it didn't. The issue to overcome wasn't the complexity of the page, it was the automatic re-formatting the Treo and Windows Mobile browsers attempted to do in order to make the page fit on a screen that was barely 300 pixels wide. The iPhone's approach was to render the page into a much larger canvas and to use a combination of scrolling and pinch-to-zoom to navigate, sort of like using a magnifying glass over a large book. The meant that unlike the various Treo phones at the time web pages were rendered in their orignal formatting. The Treo was a joke in comparison.
The Palm web browser didnt work on a lot of sites that the iPhone did and the keyboard didn't matter that much unless you were using it to spend an inordinate amout of time posting on forums... where the wysiwyg interfaces never worked. The iPhone also had wifi from day 1.
I was mobile browsing on the Palm Treo as well and, frankly, I think you're remembering it through Rose-colored glasses. It technically worked but everything was formatted in a screwy way and didn't have the zooming options we're familiar with now. It was a step up from IE on Windows mobile, but the Safari browser blew it away. The only real advantage Palm had was it had working copy/paste.
I'm not sure why this was modded down. Remeber when AT&T made a recent stink about how their mean old unlimited customers were destroying their network because they were using Netflix and the like? Last night I saw an AT&T ad advertising their 'unlimited if you are also a satellite customer' data service to.... stream video just like Netflix.
I think we all get that there are physical limitations to using the wireless spectrum, but the AC is correct that those limitations have nothing to do with the current pricing models being used by these companies. It is, indeed, a cash grab. In fact AT&T was recently nailed on that.
Don't forget that AOL was a really successful company despite metered billing and poor service amongst a sea of better alternatives, it's a classic story in the industry that all these other CEOs are trying to mimic.
The primary reason the iPhone was popular (even around here) was that its browser didn't require sites to be mobile friendly. Before the iPhone mobile browsing sucked.
One of Gmail's biggest strengths in an office environment is its search tools. I've asked repeatedly around here what you should do to get your own Google-quality search capabilities with an in-house server (or client on gmail's server) and so-far haven't gotten an answer that meets enough criteria. (Google's speed being the big one...). I'm still looking for this, suggestions much appreciated.
So, yeah, I think Gmail, even in it's web form (as opposed to using an email client) is pretty slick in an office environment. They do have one draw-back that is absolutely maddening, though. They will change the UI of their web interface on a whim, worse they'll do it in the middle of the week. This happened to me, once. Smack in the middle of a hectic week on a project and the UI on my email suddenly goes all minimalist on me with no option to switch it back. Because, you know, being under pressure to get an email out is the perfect time to investigate hieroglyphics to deduce where the bullet-point button is.
I think it's sad that most of the lessons I've learned about the drawbacks of using web-services came ftom using Google. Still angry over Reader!
Hah yep. This case in particular irks me because if I were to take an agent's phone and use an exploit to get into their personal info (not even official bidness data, I'm talking just pulling out a photo of his cat or something) I'd end up in a PMITA prison.
Out of curiosity was this on an iPhone 5 or an iPhone 6? The reason I ask is I'm curious if this was the update they did last night, the one they rushed out because of bricking issues.
I suspect this is an intermittent bug. Anecdotally my wife and I have been on 9.3 for at least a week or two and have had no problems. This might be one of those things that slipped by because it's really hard to reproduce.
That said, I have not been impressed with Apple's software quality in the last couple of years. I don't know if it's because it got a lot more complicated when it went 64-bit or if it's because when Steve was here he cracked the whip a lot harder, but I've definitely witnessed a lot more silliness in the software recently. iOS 9.x was supposed to be the bug-fix version, but I ain't seeing it.

Where would these dick showings happen, in the women's urinals?
HAAHHAAAHAHAHA throwing chairs throwing chairs ahahahahaha!

Again, rose-colored glasses.

He can't do any worse then idiot we have in office atm.
What office would he then go idiot in? Would he make the Mexicans build him one?
If cartoonists etc aren't up to the task, why are you?

I occasionally rent a movie from iTunes if I need some entertainment on a flight or long ride.
Security. It protects fools, children, and ships named Enterprise.
Hmm... your post made me hungry.
Are you asking if I trust that Microsoft can make a web-browser that won't display pages the way they were designed? Yes, actually.
Seriously, *every* business by law should be required to be cancellable by one-click or similar.
I don't agree. There should be enough competition so that voting with our wallets worked instead of having to create new laws.
Actually I do agree I just think it's funny that it took over ten years for a bill like this to even be suggested.
A downmod, really? I'm sorry, are there hordes of Linux users using Skype I'm just unaware of because it's a big secret?
Am I surprised that a niche OS isn't well supported? No.
Ah, now we know why she turned you down.

...or should law enforcement be able to deploy those bugs as crime-fighting tools?
Um, no, law enforcement doesn't get to skirt around due-process just because it's inconvenient.
Sneer aside, this is actually a good step in the right direction.
Quoted for agreement. We all expect that if we purchase a USB cable it won't fry our hardware.
ACs don't post because they're evading surveillance. They mainly post anonymously because that's how they get away with shitposting.
