A few weeks back I got an iPhone for my Better Half, as a present. And, as usual, I have been doing the (ahem) technical support for it, I set it up for pretty much every single function that it's meant for. Including using the iTunes software for syncing it. And now, I am becoming addicted to it myself...
Coming from a hardcore PC background I have been fanatically against buying Apple products for years. I have never, ever, owned any Apple product myself. But you have to give it to them, they really know how to design and manufacture stuff that just works, out of the box, and it's intuitive and straightforward and
feels good, in every aspect. And the software that comes with the hardware is equally well made and reliable, not a half-baked, re-branded 3rd-party acquisition that lets down perfectly good hardware and makes you curse (Sony, do you hear that?)
Thankfully, the iPhone does not seem to support greek text entry, which is for me an essential pre-requisite for any comms gadget, as 40-50% of the text I enter is in greek. This is, at present, the only thing that is stopping me from getting an iPhone for myself.
(That being said, if anyone knows of an add-in or a tweak that can sort this out for me, please let me know...)
