What indication do you have that this person is "pretty smart"? They are obviously blinded by Apple hate and spewing nonsense that's been rebutted in this thread.

A "pretty smart" person would be happy that iPhone has on-upped all the competitors. Does the GP think that e.g. Android is going to say "well darn, looks like they made something better. Time to quit"? Of course they will come out with something to compete. As someone said elsewhere in the thread: this is a win for us. We should be happy that iPhone is pushing the envelope just as we should be happy that they changed the game to begin with. You don't have to like them or use them to benefit from their technology.

Calling him smart was to try to get him to read the rest.

Does this make you feel smart?

I don't hate Apple at all. What I do hate, however, is when reality is rewritten, North Korea style, to favor Apple's great stewardship. It is an incredible offense to anyone with any common sense or actual knowledge.

But hey, did you hear that the iPhone invented video calling? It's the first to do it right. Am I right?

A little disgusted actually. But the fact is reality hasn't been rewritten, as has been pointed out to you several times in this thread. It is obviously your own personal bias that is clouding your judgment. Either that or you have no idea what you're talking about.

No, the video calling part was mostly bogus. I would say it is completely false, except I'm not sure if the others have literally no setup in the optimal case (in this case, iphone 4 to iphone 4 with both on wifi connections).
