Aswath,
I resent your very negative aura in this article about the iPhone. I think you may need to back to basics if you are not going to buy one of these geniously engineered devices. That is what it is after all. Not just a phone!!

Yours,

Sometimes something revolutionary comes along and smacks us in the face. When it arrives, those who compete atainst it- recognize that it will wipe out what existed before, and can devastate entire industries. Even though it's just a phone, if Apple systematically entered the ring with a machine gun, this could undermine the plans that other corporate warriors had strategized. I think the product is brilliant, and I think it will be successful. I also believe it will change the way phones are used, and the fact that it is sexy will only add to its appeal. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

DD:

I wish you are more specific as to how I am being negative about iPhone. I suggest how it will change the UI, and for the better. I even say how else one can use this device; they are not even suggested by Apple. So I thought I am admiring the UI design of the device.
