Karl’s iPhone Review

As you may know, I waited in line for about four hours on June 29th to get one of the first generation iPhones.

While no other phone or PDA really passed Palm in the PDA race, many joined it in the lead, most notably the Blackberry. See the iPhone TV commercials Since switching to Mac in February of 2004, I have marveled at how easily and seemlessly everything Apple is – the slogan “it just works” is not just a slogan, it is reality, with few exceptions.
