What a Lie about an iPhone

Say it ain't so. I am shocked and stunned that some retailer would tell a lie about an iPhone.

Right after the iPhone came out I was looking at upgrading my phone. Now I did end up with the Palm Treo 680.

But a retailer told me all kinds of lies about an iPhone to get me to buy a blackberry (aka crackberry).

Amazon Kindle

The Kindle seems like a great device. People are asking about the same dumb questions and whineing about it.

Let me try to answer some of the questions.

PDF - no it does not support PDF. There is a workaround with mobi creator
Back light - no back light
$400 - yes it is $400 - I am not 100% sure it is overpriced
EvDo (3G) Network - grrrr . yes it is required and as far as I can tell there is no wireless workaround or slower method.
USB - load your books via USB instead of wireless
DRM - yes it does and yes it sucks

IT is not a real computer . . . please remember that. It is an eink reader.
