And for Microsoft products, at least version three!  :-)

I certainly won't be buying an iPhone - I've had a phone for the past three years which can play music (MP3 or Ogg Vorbis), take photos, surf the 
internet (although on a 2" screen who wants to?), collect and send email, navigate using a Bluetooth link to a GPS receiver, and run a whole raft of 
programs that can be downloaded from third parties, stored on a bog-standard SD card.  I hardly ever use it as a phone! :-)  It runs the Symbian 
operating system, so isn't prone to lockups,  resets and having to be rebooted from time to time as a lot of other "smartphones" are.  

The only thing new about the iPhone, as far as I can see, is the marketing!

Unfortunately the firm which made it went bust (and its remnants bought up by Motorola) but as it works OK this isn't a problem.
