Apple's simple, versatile iPhone changes the game
After all the ink that's been spilled describing, previewing and hyping the Apple iPhone, does it deserve the attention? I'd have to say yes. It has its flaws and omissions, but this is a device that will be defined by what it brings to the table, not what it leaves behind. Will you want to buy it? Well, that's a personal question that has to do with your take on the value of technology. I would have loved it to be $100 cheaper. But let's be clear: This Internet, music and cellular device is a game-changer. The lure of the iPhone is that it makes you want to use it. It's actually fun. Do we say that about any phones? Hardly. It's not really the physical design, which is a marvel of simplicity. It's what happens when you pick it up and use it. There is nothing intimidating about it.
