Sure it is, Oxford. (Yeah, we know it's you.) Or poor/slipshod
engineering overall. Let's face it: Steve Jobs's mania for batteries
that can't be taken out and replaced by the end user was an engineering
decision made by a non-engineer, made by a marketing huckster, and
forced him to come up with some bullshit about how "we don't want to do
3G because of battery life".

When you make bad decisions, you have to face their consequences.

Another Oxford sock puppet.

Hey, Oxford--when will you realize that you are incapable of hiding from
the world?

Well, Oxford, when the network is down, how do you do that ssh?

Why doesn't Google Maps's new features work on the iPhone?

Anyone actually doing word processing on a mobile phone is an idiot -
the screens are simply too small and the "keyboards" too fiddly, Get a
lsptop / notebook computer instead. Having said that, I can see a point
for being able to READ files and perhaps do very minor updates, and the
iPhone has a full Safari web browser so can use any of the gorwing
number of "Office" web applications.

Email problems would depend on what you mean by "sync to", but the
iPhone can easily handle email.

I don't know anything about GPS on or off the iPhone.

Not if you need to make quick changes on the fly.

Got one. Takes too long to boot up and connect at times. It's also not
always attached at the hip like the phone.

I did say basically that further on, although you still have to then
re-sync it back to your computer anyway.

Then leave it in Sleep mode, as long as you remember to "unsleep" it
and charge it occasionally. Better yet, get the rumoured new MacBook /
sub-MacBook if it becomes a reality - it doesn't have a hard drive. It
uses Flash RAM, so should be even faster to boot up.

But does have a decent keyboard and screen.

No- it goes like this. I receive an email with an attchment that needs to
be reviewed and ammended. I pull up the attachment, make the necvessary
changes and send it back out. Because the phone is tied into my corporate
mail server, the sent item appears on my computer the next time I boot up.

But I have no need to do so. The laptop serves its purpose as portable
office, while the phone serves as a mobile connection to the outside world
that allows me to conduct business until I find the need for my "office."

It's called a trade-off.

And yet this device lacks a manufacturer's name or model number.

Amazing.

It could one of dozens, couldn't it? Why is it so important to know which
one?
