Wow. How very revolutionary! You have been able do that with any standard Sony
Ericcson phone, for the last 2-3 years, and probably Nokia, HTC, Samsung too.
My phone has a button that says "reply with voice-message" and then using some
sort of black voodoo it gets sent over mms.

I like it when apple make a new product, strip it of most basic features and
then when they finally add the long missing features... It's like the second
coming of Jesus.

I never said it was revolutionary. It's a feature that seems useful, is new to
the iPhone, and will be a free upgrade. As a very happy iPhone owner (and yes
I've had Sony Ericcsons, Motorolas, Nokias, HTCs, etc...) this upcoming
feature (and the others) are something to look forward to.

If Sony Ericcson offered a software upgrade that did over the air sync of all
my MobileMe data, that would be great, and I can't imagine saying "well I've
been able to do that for ages with my iPhone" to a happy Sony Ericcson owner.
Why does it have to be a battle?

As a serial app developer (though not yet on that platform) here's what I
heard from Apple's announcement:

crap, crap, crap, IN GAME PAYMENTS!!!, crap, crap, crap.

P.S. background notifications

I guess that list would probably be a little less bland were I an iPhone user.

The app store upgrades look like they might be useful for many devs, but to be
honest it's pretty hard to get excited over features other smartphones have
had for many years.

And of course, users still don't have access to their own data.
