Since the iPhone was announced people have been criticizing all the different features or lack of and defended contenders like the Blackberry or N95. Apple has followed every single request and obeyed in promptly fixing everything:
-Price too high: cut after just 3 months
-No 3rd party applications: SDK announced shortly after, released in March and apps in June
-No corporate features like the Blackberry: all coming in the upcoming 2.0 release expected in June
-No MS Exchange support: Also part of the 2.0 release
-Space too small when compared to the touch: there is now a 16GB version and probably a bigger soon
-Battery life: I’ve honestly have had no issue with this
-Screen scratching: before the actual release in June, they changed it to a special glass. Also no problem here.
-No 3G: According to new rumors, this should be in place within two months
If you look at early reviews they all criticized the lack of some or all of the features above. Apple has addressed or is planning on addressing them sometime in the near future(within two months). They have probably been reading blogs and reviewers and providing that feedback to engineering. So in part this is the only phone out there by the people, for the people out there.
Once 3G and v2.0 are out, what excuse will people make up next?
