Re: Why is iPhone not considered a smartphone?

LOL - iPhone, it's just too damn easy. That's definitely a unique take.

What you're actually describing is progressive disclosure in a user experience. It's something that is applied consistently in the iOS UX. Hand an iPhone to someone who's never used it, and in about two minutes they will have mastered 70% of the functionality. That's sufficient to effectively use the device, but it isn't the end of the learning curve.

Anyway, this is now firmly into the realm of the ridiculous. Do you think smart phones should only use CLI?
