Comments on: Anyone want to buy a (slightly) used iPhone? http://leanforward.wordpress.com/2008/09/10/anyone-want-to-buy-a-slightly-used-iphone/ Why just sit back and consume media, when you can lean forward and engage!

Bear in mind that iPod has uers across the whole spectrum, but the Apple cache isn't lessening at all. I do think the issue is about functionality! And having played with an Android phone this week - this isn't going hit the GenC buttons either!

Could it be that GenC regards the iPhone as having a different (and inferior) level of cache by comparison with the ipod?

What GenC want in Bluetooth is no mono-headphones. Thay want to share content, and that means connecting with other devices to share files. No iPhone - not 2G or 3G supports this. The Bluetooth support is for headset calls. As I mention in the piece - it is the content sharing they are interested in. Also - Apple great technology company? I'd content they have by far the best user interface, user design and look and feel better. When you're a closed shop - that helps a lot with reliability. But that said - I'm about to take back the iPhone due to a flaw Apple deny exists, but which is pretty well documented. Realiable? Not according to the target market of tech savvy GenC (or me) Ok, let’s get this cleared up. What GenC want in Bluetooth is no mono-headphones.

Perhaps yoru GenC-ers are not so tech savvy after all? Perhaps I should also point out that despite your contention and the views of the people you spoke to the original iPhone did include Bluetooth.

Have to take issue with your comment about Apple not being a great technology company - the facts speak for themselves: Apple tech is orders of magnitude more reliable than anything windows based, and besides that, looks infinitely better. The aesthetics and manufacturing quality of the company far surpass anything that Dell, Compaq, HP could ever design.
