Pogue's iPhone Frequently Asked Questions - Part 2
David Pogue posted a followup question and answer list about the Apple iPhone with some additional details. The highlights include:
Full list of questions can be found at his blog. Part 1 was posted a few days ago.
- NO Java, MAYBE Flash, according to Jobs
- How does the iPhone charge? It comes with a white charging/syncing dock, just like an iPod.
- Calendar program isnt finished yet, but I did see an add new event icon on the placeholder graphic.
- Can the pinch gesture be used on Web pages? Yes! Also on email!
- [The screen is the] same polycarbonate thats used for iPod screens, although apparently the coating has been substantially improved.
- [The screen responds] ONLY to skin touch. I couldnt use my fingernail, for example. And you certainly cant use a stylus.

I'm glad to see that there was an improvement on that department. I suppose we'll see this on a new model iPod, when released. x]

Skin only huh? I was hoping for some use of Inkwell or handwriting recognition for quick notes or handwriting to text message application. Can't see writing with my finger tho, but who knows.

days after the announcement of the forthcoming product "iPhone"...
was it not maybe better for Apple to promise to introduce the product information every few weeks, instead of how they introduced it last week?
does the speculation on features, what it can do or not do etc. create negative vibe about the phone?

Everyone is freaking that there is no Exchange integration. From everything that I have read so far, this is really incorrect.
It was clearly stated by Apple and Jobs that IMAP is supported and that included exchange servers. What you don't get is the "push" like you get with a Blackberry or with the Yahoo.mail.
An IMO...who cares...bring on the iPhone!

Why would Apple announce the iPhone 5+ months in advance? Wouldn't that give the competition 5+ months to copy it?

Because the competition would copy even quicker if the FCC published detailed reports of the phone before it was even announced.
And 5+ months is not long enough for a company to copy a product which took 2+ years to complete.
