Windows Mobile vs iPhone: non ci sono paragoni...

Ciao a tutti,
su pocketpcmag c'è un'interessante articolo, in cui vengono mostrati 30 motivi per preferire Windows Mobile a iPhone... effettivamente non c'è paragone... a questo punto mi chiedo: ma come si fà a buttare via diverse centinaia di euro per quel giocattolo??? :-)
 
1. It won’t perform simple computer operations such as word processing, spreadsheets, relational databases, and PowerPoint presentations
2. You can’t use your own MP3 sounds to make ringtones.
3. No GPS
4. No MMS
5. No expansion slots
6. No flash camera
7. Doesn’t take videos
8. Doesn’t have dual cameras for video conferences and self-portraits; you can’t take screen shots either; only has 2.0 MPX
9. There’s no QWERTY keyboard or even a phone keypad. Instead, it has a klutsy popup input panel. It took me five minutes to type my name correctly without any errors owing to my fingers being on the gorilla end of the scale. The input panel is made for fingers of a five-year old.
10. Can’t even perform the simple operations of highlight, copy, cut, and paste
11. Doesn’t have an eBook reader program
12. No InfraRed--can’t beam files, photos, tunes, text, contacts, applications
13. Doesn’t have Bluetooth 2.0
14. Can’t use wireless Bluetooth headphones
15. Won’t work with optical eyewear players
16. Doesn’t have 802.11 g/e Wi-Fi
17. Doesn’t have universal mini-USB connector for syncing and charging
18. Doesn’t have real downloadable programs, only Web Apps that force you to go online to use. What if you don’t want the expense of going online or there is no connection? Apple boasts 600 Web Apps. Windows Mobile has 12,000+ actual programs.
19. You can’t transfer files between devices or even to a MAC with an iPhone, and there’s no peer to peer connectivity possible either.
20. There’s no removable battery. You have to send the unit to Apple at your own expense and suffer downtime. Wow.
21. There are no peripherals for the iPhone such as a Bluetooth keyboard, mouse, headphones, GPS, printer, scanner, hard drives, storage cards, video eyewear, or projectors.
22. There are no voice commands for viewing photos, videos, files, listening to tunes, or running applications. I really enjoy bossing my pocket concierge around with voice commands. You can’t talk to iPhones; you have to poke them in the tummy with your finger to get them to do anything.
23. You can’t watch and control your home TV DVR remotely from anywhere in the world
24. There’s no FM or satellite radio
25. You can’t use an iPhone as an extension of your desktop monitor and move the mouse and data between them.
26. Touch screen is not sensitive to a standard stylus, only a blunt instrument like a finger or a ball-peen hammer.
27. Finger gestures are crazy-making on a page with lots of hyperlinks because you cannot point precisely
28. Cannot change page transitions or animations
29. You cannot control your computer or anything else remotely with an iPhone; you can’t even have the fun of using it in a bar to change the TV channels surreptitiously.
30. No programmable hardware buttons for easy control and access to such functions as volume control, camera, and digital recording.

# re: Windows Mobile vs iPhone: non ci sono paragoni...

...."However, I hasten to acknowledge that the iPhone does what it does very well indeed. I never had it hang up on me and never had to reset it. The screen is crystal clear and the graphics a pleasure to view. The finger-friendly navigation has its problems and limitations but it is still a smooth solution that is fun to do. Everything on the system is easy to implement and ideally suited for consumers who do not know about or care about power computing on a handheld device."

In altre parole, l'iphone è un telefono.
