The reason he used the iPhone is that it is what the windows smartphones should have been.

Yes you can read ebooks on a smartphone but they have postagestamp sized screens.

I read on a Axim x51 (3.7") and I used to read on a x5 (3.5"). The blackjack smartphone has a 1.7" screen, and it isn't touch screen so using html links is very painful.

So I a phone & a PPC on my belt and will problaby stay with both until I can get a big-screen smart phone.

When I first saw an iPhone I started drooling for a windows based smart phone is the same formfactor (huge touch screen).
