Re: Why is iPhone not considered a smartphone?
the definition of a smart phone is sync capabilities, meaning to a pc. in the winmo world smartphones did not have a touchscreen, but had some type of qwerty kb. A touchscreen was a requirement for a PocketPC (winmo pro). there were other API differences as well between the standard and pro versions.
basically the iphone is a hybrid slightly de-evolved version of m$ had been doing for years. really the main difference between blackberry and iphone is buttons and java.
which reminds me, are we going to start referring to bb's as the Oracle?
what remains to be seen is just how far wm7 leaned to the 'phone' side. (notice the lack of that word in ppc.)
