That's true. The difference is that the Iphone lacked features because of Steve Jobs' desire to only do something if you can do it perfectly. The Kin lacked features because of politics.
This is what will kill Microsoft.
- jonknee 16y agoI'm not sure Steve's desire of perfection was the reason for all lacking features. MMS comes to mind. Ditto for being able to send an SMS to multiple people. Common features of phones, no magical implementation by Apple, but not supported originally (hell, it took iOS 4 for you to know how many characters your SMS contains).
- hboon 16y agoDoes iOS 4 tell you how many characters your SMS contains? Mine doesn't.

- rimantas 16y agoIt does but this is off by default. You can turn it on in Settings->Messages->Charcter count. When on character count is displayed over "Send" button when your input takes more than one line—interesting quirk. On the other hand it correctly switches to 70 available chars instead of 160 if I enter a char not in 7-bit GSM character set.
