You have to look beyond the phone itself. The iPhone is part of a *platform*. It includes iTunes to manage music, video, apps, and purchases. It includes the boatloads of third-party developers out there making up brilliant little add-ons. And it includes all those people who have create iPhone-friendly stylesheets for their sites, or even just built out web-clip sites. The selling points of smartphones can be debated back and forth endlessly — it's these platform aspects that really make the difference. -r- ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
