Last week, I wrote: “For every really cool thing the iPhone has, there’s a really lame thing. 3G even more so.”
Abi Jones asked me to draw up the list.
This is the first pass at the list. I’m expecting corrections and additions, especially post-July 11.
| Cool | Lame |
| From Apple | From AT&T |
| Lower device cost | Can’t purchase online. Higher monthly rates. |
| Custom, iPhone-specific Apps | Delivered via iTunes |
| Syncs data with other computers | Except for iCal To Dos and iPhone Notes |
| Internet connection when outside of wifi | No tethering internet connection to a laptop or VOIP calling |
