It would be impossible to provide you with links to all of the articles, commentaries, and reviews of this new razzle-dazzle cell phone, and a lot of them are simply regurgitations of the basic press release material. But you might want to read David Pogue’s review (with his “answers to iPhone frequently asked questions”) here; and Tim O’Reilly’s plea that OS X developers be allowed to develop applications for the iPhone, lest it degenerate into a “fancy tin can”; and Steve Borsch’s review, which reminds us that, up to now, “smart-phones” have merely been “okay”; and David Weinberger’s JOHO reminder (by way of Global Voices, which has some really interesting commentaries from around the world) that there are a lot more important things that we should be focusing our attention on besides a fancy new cell phone.

The line in your blog entry is simply, "seeing it lacks a QWERTY keyboard." Apple, however, is also calling their touch-based feature a keyboard. Many apologies, nevertheless, for the distress this has caused you. I have gone ahead and altered the paragraph.

The Apple iPhone in fact <b>does not</b> have a QWERTY keyboard, but a touchscreen. What it has as you correctly mentioned is a <b>soft</b> QWERTY keyboard. Those input terms are generally understood the way I have used them above. No; there is no error in my report. The Nokia 9500 has a QWERTY keyboard. The Blackberry does. Treo 650 does.
