		<description>Concerning the below &#039;flame&#039; post: I agree there is still no better phone than the iphone on the market. I agree quality and ease of use are revolutionary and I know that this fact can hardly be ignored.



Yes, Apple IPhone is perfect.

BUT: Pleasefixtheiphone.com is a nice site. Although Apple may be producing perfect products for years, they should also have idea what users&#039; wishes are. Feedback is always necessary. And if nobody from Apple listens to feedback that is reasonable, somebody from the competitors may do. Imagine some competitor phone combining all the mayor user wishes that were presented. Or you will prove that lack of MMS or Adobe Flash Player on a advanced phone like this is not weird? Yes - IPhone stability is perfect, performance is perfect, currently we cannot compare it to any other phone because regardless of all cons no product is more perfect than the IPhone. BUT: we are not in the 80&#039;s and we are talking about markets having competitors after all.</description>

		<description>Begin Flame:



FYI, Apple is a niche company. They fill the niche of digital life with amazing intuitive design and ease of use. That being said, when the happened into the cellphone market, they brought something that most people had never seen in the cell phone market before, a high quality handset. Until this happened all phones were cheaply made, and had even worse software. As a programmer I can tell you all that you have a choice. You don&#039;t have to buy an iphone. Buying a product and then demanding that the company fix it is like buying a piece of wood, and then telling Home Depot to carve it into a chair leg for you. To make it worse though, you all complain when they DON&#039;T make your chair leg.



Simply put, The iphone is what it is. If you don&#039;t like it, fine.

If another phone works better, the buy it.

If you already bought one on accident, too bad.



I any case, quit complaining about it. Either use it or don&#039;t, and start spending you time doing something productive to help yourselves and maybe even the economy rather than constantly complaining about a device which I wonder if any of you even own!

		<description>The ability for Google Maps to auto-correct if you missed a turn.

The ability for the map to rotate so that the direction your traveling in is always facing up.

A compass in Maps would be helpful.

The ability to select a street only route.

Flash is a must!

MMS is a must!

Better use of battery life is a must!

Bluetooth sync would be nice.</description>

		<description>Both wish list fall short in my mind.



Top of the list should be:



ability to search emails

invite others when creating calendar events

tethering (i know not apples fault)

Change the options for 3G to be On, Off, and On for browsing. Dont really need 3G for email.</description>

		<description>Battery? Why doesn&#039;t Iphone have a removable, replaceable battery?

The limitations imposed upon its

use by the present battery are just ridiculous. If it was just a phone, the battery would be adequate. But it is much more than a phone. Apple needs to address this issue promptly.</description>

		<description>IPhone 2.2 fixes Number 3. &quot;Rating apps on deletion&quot; was a partial address of my 1. wish.



The apps store is full of junk already and the iTunes store is soooo slooowww that any non-obsessive-compulsive is unwilling to sort though it to find things that are useful, entertaining, or heaven forbid: both.



People who think Copy &amp; Paste will be coming anytime soon have no ideal what that entails.</description>

		<description>lmao....jobs has no idea what users want!



he gets all the nifty apple product ideas from his engineers. he&#039;s not been in the realm of inventing any of the apple products for over 20 years.



lets give the people at apple who do the REAL WORK the REAL CREDIT!!



apple engineers, designers and programmers make apple what it is...jobs does nothing but approve or deny projects and tell his board and investors what he&#039;s denied &amp; approved.



any monkey with a YES/NO button can do that...!!!



i do now know why he takes a $1 salary...THE JOB DEMANDS NOTHING MORE THAN LIVING OFF OTHERS IDEAS!



good work apple engineers, designers, programmers and anybody WHO ACTUALLY DOES WORK FOR APPLE that i may have missed.</description>

		<description>I think KenC is right.



Most people use Windows at work. You still don&#039;t see many Macs at work. So, it comes down to how much time people spend browsing the web at work.



A quick check at alexa.com on cnn.com traffic pattern will show you that its traffic drops during the weekend. During one&#039;s workday, probably a big portion of the web activities are checking the news.



And we certainly had a big October for that - the credit crisis and presidential election. Again, the alexa graph for cnn also proves this theory.



Basically, people spent more time during working hours in October. That&#039;s enough to push the Windows usage up.</description>
