How about no having to plug it in for computer transfers?

We're all civilized people here, there's no need to be so defensive about everything.

No one is claiming to be smarter than anyone. Some of us are just more conscious as consumers than others. For example, it never ceases to amaze me when people get so excited about "new" features that to them "just came out" from a well marketed company.

Seven years ago, I was carrying a iPAQ and then the HX 4700 PDA in 2004. Of course no one even heard of it or even today. Then all of a sudden iPOD video came out in 2005, everyone was amazed by how cool it was to watch HD Videos on the go. Something I had been doing for years. Then came the iPhone 1 in 2007, people were amazed at how cool it was to be able to eread, mobile game, view photos on their (320 x 480 res display compared to my 640X480) something I had been doing on the same device since 2004. And to my amusement they later even "sweetened" the deal with "copy and paste" and later with Stereo Bluetooth driver, something I had since 2004. And yes, with a Compact flash plug-in my HX 4700 became a cell phone.

Now iPhone 4 in 2010, brings the motherload, multi-tasking.... Welcome to 2004.

All this time since 2001-4, for less then the price of todays iPhone 4, I have been wirelessly websurfing/file transfering, text2speeching, mobile HD videoing, multi-tasking, e-reading, on top of that, I can still expand with SDHC cards (32GB) something iPhone 2010 can't (yes it even had flash of yesteryear). I understand why evil greedy profit seeking businesses must hate envelop pushing consumers like me, but why consumers stand on their side is beyond me.

The point is, time and time again shows, people don't know nor care about new features until a powerful enough marketing team tells them to.

And might I add, people back then were boosting about much better Palm was, since it was a dedicated device unlike Windows Mobile with all it's features LOL Where is your Palm now?
