God that was funny Even if you like the iPhone you have to appreciate that.
It makes me laugh to think that screen probably has a higher dpi than the much vaunted 160 dpi iPhone screen.
I sure miss Archie...
Surur
He uh...hasn't been around since someone accused him of having Downs or something. Which means:
A) He's been offended and never wants to post here again
B) Someone hit too close to the mark and now he's too embarrassed to post here
C) He's hiding out in the PhoneDifferent forums
D) All of the above
Not keeping score, but always interesting to see when people spout one thing, then get ka-powed with the facts.

But this guy seems to be of the same mind frame as many here.
Are you guys really so filled with hate and loathing of a phone like this guy is to have spent hours developing a site like this.
WOW!
Everyone likes to throw out the phrase "Fan Boy" for an iPHONE fanatic.
For you guys here like Mikec, CountChocula, Tirik and Surur how about "Militant-Loathers" for you iPHONE haters.
That's just speculation. The Palm commercial software is a testament that there is a market for mobile applications. And seeing that the iPhone charts new ground with UI there are lots of compelling uses for 3rd party apps. Especially considering the iPhone didn't ship with an astoundingly large number of native apps.
Apple? today announced that its revolutionary iPhone? will run applications created with Web 2.0 Internet standards when it begins shipping on June 29. Developers can create Web 2.0 applications which look and behave just like the applications built into iPhone, and which can seamlessly access iPhone?s services, including making a phone call, sending an email and displaying a location in Google Maps. Third-party applications created using Web 2.0 standards can extend iPhone?s capabilities without compromising its reliability or security.
it was revealed that the iPhone will allows 3rd party apps which:

Its funny that you are so obsessed with the significance of iPhone sales, when you dont even know how Treo's are selling.
FYI in the last 12 months around 2.5 million Treo's were sold to consumers. A bit more than 500 000. I guess 5 times more people than you thought thinks the Treo comes close to what they want, and some of those probably want it to do even more.
Surur
That many of our beloved Treo apps can be replaced by web pages....examples previously given.
At this point in time, it's a single model.
Not all apps can be replaced by web pages. It's just not the same thing. Primarily the calendar is a big disappointment on the iPhone (to me) and I would want/need a local app for that. What if you have no net connection? Also if you have to download the web apps via EDGE you aren't always going to have the best experience. Not to mention games would be more robust if they were native (yeah, so what, I like games).
Jack, you've been pwned.
Dude, he's not even in the game. The iPhone is a model. You wanna argue how good your phone model of choice is doing, you list sales for the particular model, not the model line.
Does one argue against Treo sales by listing all devices sold by blackberry including the ones that don't even have phones ? Why not Nokia.
Does one argue that the Toyota Camry wasn't the best selling car in America by arguing how many cars GM sold ?
Does one argue about Wii success in the marketplace by listing all sales of PS1, PS2 and PS3 combined ?
If you wanna argue about who hit the most home runs, you don't compare A-Rod with the Cincinnatti Reds. We have one guy prancing about feeling all good about himself, with you right in step saying A-Rod's 32 home runs sucks because the Reds hit 132 home runs. Yeah Dunn has 25 and Griffey ahs 24 but the only number that counts is the guy who hit 32. You don't get to add Dunn, Griffey and all of their teammates together when asked who is the MLB HR Leader.
Do people just make up numbers? It surely is impressive that the iPhone did 1/5 of Palm's whole business in one weekend, why the need to exaggerate past that? It will be interesting to see how long it takes Apple to sell 2.5 million iPhones.
Technically it is two models.
