The KILLER APP for Apple's phone, which has severe defects including (1) high price, (2) limited memory for music, and (3) awkward text entry method, will be DICTATIONS SOFTWARE . . . that will enable a user to dictate Email and also text material (perhaps into a simplified word processor, like TEXTEDIT) that can later be sent, any one of several ways, to a printer . . .

in which case, a better name for the device will be POCKET MAC !

My name of choice would be the iCan. We've got a Pod for music, now a Can for lotas of stuff. Like iCan make calls, iCan dance.

Ruerogers - interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Ernst - iCan dance, but iCan't sing. iCan take a hint though.

JayZee - that would be an interesting choice, given how short lived the Newton was. Would be cheeky though. I like it!

Interesting suggestion Al. I hadn't thought of that. Thanks for weighing in!
