The Question Is...

Can they make it easy to transfer video's, mp3's & podcasts to? The
iPhone is much more than an mp3 player with a phone stuck on.

Have you used Windows Mobile device center?
Or removable media feature in Windows Media Player?
There are many ways to put music/videos on the player or phone way easier than with iTunes...just dumb people do not know about it (cause they do not want to know).; Like this View reply Hide reply

If its the answer to iphone it must have:

It must have multi-touch which apple seems to have a lock on for a while at least. It must have a fully operational web browser, sorry the one on symbian now only really works on mobile pages, and using opera mini is also not ideal. It must also be fast. Can it go back and fourth between applications and such quickly and seemlessly... i.e. "Boom it there"

It has

Opera Mobile 9.5 - could be even better than iPhone browser.
Multi-touch - overrated - it is not that necessary. I use it just to zoom-in/out. It is possible to achive that differently and as effectively.
Symbian is very fast. If it would have processor twice slower than iPhones - it would still be faster...

About Apple

At the start of the 21st century, there's no tech outfit more influential than Apple. CNET News' Erica Ogg and other reporters will attempt to make sense of the rumors, hype, products, and people that will shape the future of the company. But Apple's not the only game in town, as the established cell phone companies and others strike back against the iPhone. E-mail Erica at erica.ogg@cnet.com.
