I was just going to mention that. Instead, I'll mention that he's clearly eating his own dogfood: press coverage of the iPhone has been mostly glowing, and he expects success (readership) through his divergent opinion. I guess it worked. I read his article (up until it became obvious that he was purposefully overlooking the cellphone camera counterexample), and I wouldn't have read it, had it sounded positive. I don't have time to read any more iPhone Messiah stories. I feel the same way about the iPhone that I do about almost all Apple products. They're great, they're usually the best, but I'm a freaking pobrecito. I can buy a new surfboard, custom-shaped for my body by the best pro in Ecuador, for half the price of an iPhone. A bargain-basement cellphone is free with even the cheapest plans, I have a $60 mp3 player that works just fine, and I've built capable linux laptops for $300. I couldn't care less if the iPhone flops and I'm not the kind of person to buy one. But if I had to bet, well ... I don't want to bet against Apple right now.
