HE SAYS YES
"The iPhone is everything in one. It's a widescreen iPod, a mobile phone, an Internet device running on Mac OS X (widgets!) and a full Safari browser (endless Web 2.0 applications). It even does YouTube and Google Maps! Windows users are not left in the lurch. The iPhone works with Windows XP Home and Professional (SP2) and Vista. The quadband phone comes also with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity. We can go on and on but you get the drift."

HE SAYS NO
"Some of the most basic features you expect to see in mobile phones are not in the iPhone. You can't send MMS messages, the camera won't take videos, and there's no instant messaging like MSN or Yahoo! IM. It's an iPod, but you can't use any of your tunes as ringtones. It won't make video calls because it isn't 3G-enabled. But hey, what do we know? If Apple leaves them out, they can't be important, right?"
