What's so difficult about having a web search app or icon on your main home screen if that's important to you? Just turn on the iPhone (one press) and hit, say, Google (or whatever) -- you're on web search!?
Not difficult. Very little on the iPhone is that hard but that's not to say it couldn't be improved. When you hit home > search, or however you get to search you are confronted with a mostly black screen on which you could have options. It would be useful to be able to select where you want to search. Say you are in addressbook and hit the home button twice and search opens and you can select addressbook, web or iPhone as the target of your search (without first having to leave addressbook). The default option would be with the app from which you initiated search.
Where does that leave Apple missing features like Multi-Tasking...
inb4 apple crybabies try to use mail as an example.
Yeah, I hate the way I can't be listening to music, have a call come in and have the music die down and take the call and when they hang up my music comes back all while I'm looking at google maps or the internet or my mail or my contacts...
Oh wait! Silly me! I can! If only my iPhone could multitask though...

Try using Pandora and do all that at the same time without jailbreaking and let me know how that goes.

Well, how about listening to Pandora while browsing the web?
I would like to get my hand on this first before I bash it, much like the iPad. It lookes unique and different, so is not a me too product like some one said in the first post. I like the ability to use word and outlook, which would make this phone a hit with business users. As far as a personal phone I still think iPhone is better, but integration with xbox live could be pretty cool. I'll judge it when it comes out and I can play with it but I can say I am at least interested.
Five years behind what? What exactly does multitasking do that makes it as great as you make it sound?
It completely changes the user experience. This is the same argument Windows users used to make. If you used OS/2 during the early 90s, you'd know what it feels like to go back to using the iPhone after using the Android. It's just so darn frustrating. For me, now the iPhone is one giant inefficient application launcher.
[CENTER]Sure... Whatever (like you have any idea what I do or don't own).
That's why I own every 'major' Apple product released over the past 20 years.
Simply Put: Apple's not the only company capable of creating compelling products, and from what we've seen/heard today, MS has created a true game-changer in the mobile phone/media arena.[/CENTER]
"The phones will be owned by OEMs, and you'll see different form factors and choices," Woodman said.
Which by default nullifies any real advantage this device (devices?) could have had.
Where are you trying to go with this? OEMs can make the device how they see fit as long as it falls within the parameters MS has set, and those parameters are very strict.
Apple is all about reducing the amount of clicks to do something
Apple is the one that programmed the iPhone to do the double-click thing. They're also the ones who programmed the iPhone to go to the search page when you hit the Home button while on the Home page. Come on, have we sunk to a new level of laziness that we can't even click a button twice?

It does change the user experience, but not necessarily for the better. The method employed by Android and WebOS are not intelligent or user friendly.

Not user friendly to you. For those that have actually spent time using Palm and Google's implementation, the comments have been quite favorable. In fact Palm's cards system is quite efficient.

That is very reasonable and fair to all parties concerned unless of course, something forces Microsoft's hand to repeat the debacle of Play For Sure . That is a genuine worry for the manufacturers as well as potential buyers of Window Phone 7 series.
Why use the interface of an unsuccessful product (Zune)?
Just because the Zune does not sell as many units as the iPod does not make it unsuccessful. If that is your rational then Apple is very unsuccessful to Microsoft since MS has 97% of the market.
Yeah i know they would have to port the software but it seems they havent because of the whole "Apple has that on lock" mentality because its on their hardware.
Personally i doubt its because of the media, but i do know i would uninstall iTunes and its bloated garbage if MS brought the Zune software to Mac.
Like you really believe that MS could produce Mac software that isn't bloatware?

Thanks for the laugh, that made my day
Me to! Me to! Me to!
I hate to do this but for the sake of propriety that should be:
"Me too! Me too! Me too!"
Theirs sew much they can due, butt their stoopid.
Your mom must be proud.
He's mocking the horrific parade of misspellings that are de rigueur on AI these days.
But Apple would benefit from some stiff competition.
Not sure we'll see it from Microsoft.
