Yesterday I was as always browsing the Internet is search of new ideas and concepts to write about my beloved iPhone. Then my eyes caught the title: “5 Reasons iPhone is Not What I Wanted.”

To tell you the truth, I was shocked at such a title. In fact, out there I’m always finding awkward (to put it mildly) titles. But this one is simply astonishing.

Getting interested I decided to read the post. And the 5 facts which as provided there are:

No flexibility of Office suite syncing, editing, formatting
No tap-hold cut/paste function
No selection of multiple emails/texts
It doesn’t do JAVA or FLASH
Security on the iPhone is practically nonexistent

To my mind none of these points can stand its ground. Why? I’ll tell you why

In fact, I’m a Mac user and MS Office seems a strange name to me (of course I know what’s that). It’s been a long time I’ve given up using MS products as they SIMPLY DON’T WORK
Well, after all the iPhone is a phone but not a computer
Old habits die hard, wait for the new generation and all the features you can imaging will be present there
Though a lot of devices have flash and Java, I cannot say that I really need it. I don’t think that I would get happier if you could use these technologies in the iPhone
Security? I just don’t understand that word in connection to the iPhone. Security is something relevant for MS, and as long as iPhone is Apple it is totally secure. All you need to do in order not to ruin that fact is not install applications by unreliable third-party developers. That’s it!

The fact that the iPhone does not the functionality of a PC makes the iPhone an iPhone. A multi-functional mobile device. Moreover, all the lacks and shortcomings of the current version are likely to be corrected in the new version which is to arrive quite soon.

The only thing I’m left to wonder about is the price of the new device. If it is as awesome as everyone expects it might cost a fortune. But if the price is reasonable I will definitely want to have one.
