By the way, if that bridge is located in New York City, I’m definately interested.

Why test new iphone against an old G1?

Start browsing the web. Take a phone call. While on the phone, continue browsing the web. Oops. So much for multitasking.

Same test on the iPhone 3G/3GS works fine.

The point is that all phones have issues. You pick your poison. For me, the most likely thing to multitask on is the iPod and that works fine on the iPhone. I would like Pandora to run in the background but it isn’t the end of the world that it doesn’t.

Actually, there’s another reason which I think is more likely. There is a rabid band of people running around who hate Apple and everything about Apple and spend countless hours bashing any positive news about Apple products.

I’m not sure why, I guess they’re either jealous of people who use Apple products or so bitter that they’ve suffered with Windows for years.

For the record, Mac fans do get defensive and defend their choice rather vigorously. That, however, is fairly natural – to defend a product that you like when others attack it. These Apple-bashers, though, spend untold energy bashing a product (and company) that they have never used, will never use, and don’t have any contact with. That’s really rather sick.

I like my Buick Enclave. If I go around telling people it’s a great car (it is), that’s advocacy. If I were to run around telling everybody that the Mazda SUV stunk even though I had never driven one, that would be lunacy. But that’s what these Apple bashers do.

I’ve had an iPhone for 2 years and can’t think of a time when I wanted better multitasking than what’s included (yes, the iPhone does multitask, just not with third party apps). Why is it so critical to be able to use the fart application while you’re playing a game?

I can check my email while on the phone. I can check email while browsing. I can check my contacts lists while talking with someone. I can send an email while talking with someone. Just what are the other multitasking things that are so critical that they’re worth the problems you get with a Pre?

In order to get that useless multitasking advantage, you have to give up battery life, usability, and performance. No thanks.

I guess you don’t know that because 1) You can’t afford an iPhone 2) You can afford one but don’t qualify for AT&T or T-Mobile service 3) You’re braindead.

‘Approaches MacBook Speed’ is a fundamentally worthless statement in this case. ‘Three times as fast as previous iPhones’ or even ‘Three times as fast as competitors’ would have been accurate and still interesting.

I’ve deduced the reasons for your hatred into the 3 most probable reasons: 1)You can’t afford an iPhone 2) You can afford one but don’t qualify for AT&T or T-Mobile service 3)You work for the competitors.

Unless you fall into option 3, In which your financial future relies on Apple’s products not succeeding, it is evident that you dudes need to check your insecurities. It’s just a fucking phone… ( and media player, and video camera, and web browser, and navigational device, and portable gaming device, and alarm clock, and flashlight, and Fart machine… I snuck these in just to make your cheeks red… assholes.)

mike, please fire this moron and get rid of his spam. or charge apple an advertising fee at the very least.

Also, ‘Go read another blog’ sure is an awesome way of dealing with criticism brother…
