[Eug-lug] Safari + iPhone = Killer App

[Brian Gallagher]

For the masses sometimes its about elegance and design.  I personally have
no real interest in, or need for, a cell phone, but I found myself sucked in
to the commercial Saturday night.  Then I learned that it will have a full
version of Safari; not the wimpy PocketPC (Word, Excel, IE) Jornada PDA I
got for $500.  Handspring was better, but I HAD to have the color display at
double the price.

Killer App was the wrong term.  Category Killer might be more apt.  I still
use my Jornada w/ original battery.  HP's design was great, but MS software
sucked.  It wasn't really workable till a upgrade came out a year and a half
later for the sync software.

It's just technolust (that dates me.)

Just making my prediction.  We ought to have a betting pool on tech toys.
