The iPhone is cooler than the Centro which is better :)

I don’t know if ending a sentence with a smiley face is proper English, but I know 2 things: The iPhone is cooler than the Centro, but I would rather have the Centro.

1. The iPhone is a multimedia dream come true! The Centro takes pics and videos, can manage them into folders, & slideshows with background music. I can also watch full length dvd-quality movies on my small screen or use my Centro as a usb/thumb drive and watch my movies on a computer (laptop when I travel), I can listen to mp3s, live internet radio, watch YouTube videos, and watch LIVE tv on my Centro when I am bored, or waiting somewhere.
2. The iPhone plays iTunes! Speaking of music, I can listen to my tunes using the speaker, or using stereo bluetooth headphones (see prior blog) Why would I ever use a WIRED headset again?- this is 2008!!!!
3. The iPhone fits in your pocket…and must weigh close to 5 lbs (not really) but noticeably more than my Centro, which is also smaller in size overall.
4. The iPhone has a high-res beautiful screen! Palm used to have devices with big touchscreens, like 20 years ago, but found that people prefer a tactile keyboard to type on and be more productive…and the Centro is not THAT hard to type on.
5. The iPhone has wifi! But why do you need wifi when you have EVDO, and eventually rev-a/Wimax (on NOVA) And the Edge data network is…………………………………..just……………………………….so………………………………slow…… (which does suck for ATT Centro)
6. Safari lets you do that cool thing with your fingers to enlarge and navigate a webpage! Why do I need to do that when I can scroll with my finger if I want to…on a page OPTIMIZED for my device?!
7. Apple is easy to use! Palm is easy once you spend about 20 minutes figuring it out…I did this about 3 years ago, and since then have found it extremely easy to use. Here is all you need to know: learn where the menu and option button are, you can customize most buttons/features, and there is endless 3rd party software if you get bored, with the “factory” offerings.
8. The iPhone is a lot less $ than when it first came out…but the Centro is only$100 for most wireless customers.
9. The iPhone is compatible with my Mac! so is Palm OS
10. and last but not least…The iPhone is cool and more hip…ok can’t argue with you on that one but Palm does have a cool site called www.moreyous.com

If you disagree, with me, and I hope some of you do, or else there is no fun in writing such a blog, please let me know!!!
