Re: Why is iPhone not considered a smartphone?

of course the iPhone is. It runs a *nix os (darwin) and it supports third party native apps. That last bit is pretty much the major differentiator between dumb and smart phones - do they support third party native apps (not just midlets, although back in the day, supporting midlets was good enough to get you the smartphone stamp.)

Why they aren't consider smartphones here has nothing to do with reality.
