OK, tell me what I got wrong. Coverage? I tested the AT&T signal on the water and in various anchorages around the Bay. Well, from the Choptank and points north. It stank.
The iPhone stuff, well, that's perhaps way off topic for this forum. But having actually done software development for portable devices I'm quite familiar with what is and isn't possible or worthwhile about most of them. And your experience is, what?
Hey, if I'm wrong, I'd be glad to have someone enlighten me. But just because I'm no fanboy of your beloved toy doesn't make me wrong, nor you right.
Give him a break guys, I think he owns a Four Winns :huh:
The "iPhone stuff" is the topic of this thread. To dismiss this and change it to at&t vs whatever completely misses the point.
You have done software development for the iPhone? so you must know what it's capable of and what it's not capable of. My experience is actually owning one, not playing around with a friends hacked one for a week. I've also registered as a software developer and have the SDK. You can download it too and see for yourself. I'm sure with your extensive knowledge of Cocoa programming, you could get the thing to work. Heck you might even be able to come up with something useful that your phone can't or won't do.
(edited to take out the not so nice things I said)
You don't need an iPhone with the SDK, it comes with a simulator that you can test and run the software with. I personally suck at programming but I have the SDK and got it for free. Now what other phone developer does that kind of thing? Last time I heard, there were over a million people with the software, that's a lot of people. Someone would surely come up with some good boating software?!?
Given the exclusive requirement of using AT&T, and their demonstrated lack of effective data coverage, it's really moot point what features the phone does or doesn't have...
...with the 5 year exclusivity plan with AT&T for the iPhone you're just not going to get effective coverage with it on the water.
