The initial real world reviews of iPhones are starting to trickle in and for the most part it would seem that Apple has a winner on its hands. Sure there's some things that could be improved, but by and large the reviews are positive.
Here's a roundup:
<p><a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB118289311361649057.html">The iPhone is Breakthrough Handheld Computer</a> (Walt Mossberg, Wall Street Journal)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/27/technology/circuits/27pogue.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin">The iPhone Matches Most of its Hype</a> (David Pogue, NY Times)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19444948/site/newsweek/page/0/">At Last, the iPhone</a> (Steven Levy, Newsweek)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.usatoday.com/tech/columnist/edwardbaig/2007-06-26-iphone-review_N.htm">Apple’s iPhone isn’t perfect, but it’s worthy of the hype</a> (Ed Baig, USA Today)</p>
Perhaps the most interesting thing all these reviews mention is the lack of scratches on the screen -- even when the iPhone is tossed in a pocket with keys, loose change and whatnot.
But of course these mainstream journalists have overlooked the obvious satanic witchcraft overtones of the iPhone which Wired's Lore Sjöberg, master of the dark arts, details in his latest column: [Beware the Magical IPhone][2].
And just because it's the first and only time this will happen, I'd like to say that I actually agree with John Dvorak, who recently wrote an article entitled: [Shut Up About the iPhone, Already!][1].
Still, despite the fact that I'm thoroughly sick of hearing about the thing (David Pogue claims the "iPhone has been the subject of 11,000 print articles, and it turns up about 69 million hits on Google"), I do plan to purchase one, and probably on Friday, but only out of a sense of obligation to you my dear readers, definitely not because I actually want it.
