Dropping The iPhone
Before you grab your pitchforks and hot tar, I just want to make a quick point: for me, the iPhone is basically an iPod duct taped onto a phone.
Of the 28-some odd gigabytes of space available, 98 percent of that is devoted to music. The iPod app has seen more use than every other app on the phone combined.
A close second? Email. Third? Text messaging. Then Facebook and Twitter. A distant sixth-place contender is web browsing and navigation.
The BlackBerry does all of those other apps better than the iPhone simply because I can save seconds or fractions of a second. That's more important to me than a little animation that makes the whole process look slightly prettier at the cost of a fraction of a second.
