- Hi Mathew, I'm glad you finally got an iPhone. I remember you mentioning you wanted one but had a Blackberry for work. I'm a big fan of the Panorama application... and Bejeweled 2.

David Pogue had a brief hands-on and says typing on it was "difficult" (though he says that by the end of the short session the predictive typing was 100% accurate). And Gartenberg notes, among other shortcomings, that there's no support for Office documents (and what about pdfs?).

Beautiful device, but these two things taken together would be a real problem for me ....

Sigh ...
