The iPhone 3G had some compelling features and 3rd party apps (like Pandora , which, I have to admit, is about 1/2 the reason I got the phone.) In general, the phone actually works quite well. I know some folks are holding out for an Android phone, which, from what I can tell, are going to be pretty similar. { Be Helpful.

I like my 60G iPod that I’ve had for a while, and although I tire of lugging around three electronic devices (cell phone, Palm, iPod), and that my current phone is about to fall apart, the cost and the fact that it was so new made me decide not to go for it, even though AT&T is my carrier. Too expensive, for one thing.

On the Windows side the hardware manufacturers make proprietary drivers for Windows, and very few make drivers for Linux, or open source their drivers so that Linux developers can use them.
