Compare the two phones is not the point here...this guy does not have any clue about what the iPhone is and probably he is using his Nokia to give pleasure himself through his ass. The site describes a "normal" iPhone. A Jailbroken iPhone with cydia and all the packages and cool stuff is a different beast. You can run perl, php, python, ruby, apache, svn, cvs, etc...you can manage your servers (the example that the guy is using against the iPhone) trough the Terminal application and connect with openssh, rdp or vnc...whatever you want. The keyboard comment...it is just valid for an English speaker...if you are from other language with more complex characters then you do "less work" because is more easy to select that characters and guest what? you do less "taps" and the end of the day. You can actually said: "Hey, here is your small server for your small office...right here in my pocket !!" "You can use it as media server, web server, backup server...". Take a look to cydia and the repositories. It has support for MMS and Video recording (yes..cycorder), IM (too many clients...you already have problems to choose one because of that), vlc, mplayer, mxtube (In fact...I downloaded the slackathon conferences with that), SIP, VoIP and a lot of other cool stuff. You can, from long time ago, personalize your ringtones without iTunes...so...that site is just the opinion from one guy that does not know wtf he is talking about. The actual point of the post was to have an iPhone/iPod Touch running as small SECURE server. It is running a BSD OS already...but not secure. That's the point of all this post. Regards, Alvaro
