Writing this now from my iPhone. The Edge really isn't bad, and the WiFi is great. It really is a nice Internet platform.

Which makes me think that there will be no "last great battle" for the PC. Just sync your iPhone with every piece of data in the universe by plugging it into some to-be-determined shaped hole in your wall.

The hole will be shaped something like this:

I admit it - I'm impressed :)

It's funny--I was in bad shape for a bit with my wife yesterday. But then I let her play with it and browse the net and she ended up really liking it.

So far both Reddit and news.yc work perfectly. My Netvibes is a bit off due to some Javascript issue, but other than that it's been great for browsing.

I tried it today with my webapp too, and it worked great - with one exception. Whenever you have to type unusual characters it takes several extra keystrokes. But the zooming and viewing is simply amazing - I can fully use my webapp on a phone - wow. But being a bootstrapping startup founder, I can't justify buying it yet - I'll have to wait for the cheaper and more powerful version later on.

Heck, I was in the Store the other day trying it out, and even likebetter.com (my app) works, and it hardly works in Safari on a mac! Me = Amazed
