re-posted, and very true...
Apple is a Disruptive Company, A modern day Business Volcano.
From the day of it's creation Apple has been a disruptive force in any
market it touched. The Apple II disrupted the computer industry by
creating a personal computer the average citizen could use. The Mac was
extremely disruptive in that it allowed the rest of us to actually be
productive and creative without having to fully understand how computers
work.
The iPod disrupted the music industry big time. Now comes the iPhone
doing the same thing to the cellphone industry.
Every time Apple enters a market they turn well established, profitable
business models into obsolete mush. And the big players don't like it
one bit.
Now the cellphone industry has been seriously disrupted and players are
scurrying around like rodents trying to figure out what to do next.
This a VERY GOOD thing.

Can you directly edit a spreadsheet on any other phone? nope! not really.
The iPhone is a high powered communication device that has already
changed the world... in 65 days! a new Apple record!
You are talking about very old "apple //" concepts, "a spreadsheet" if
it had any value would be updated through Ruby on Rails, AJAX or PHP, so
your iPhone would display the latest info every time.
A "spreadsheet" is like the postit note of the 90's.
Get with the program!

You clearly don't use an iPhone day to day do you? I do and have a
non-biased report on the actual device.
If you don't have an iPhone, there is no way you can comment on this
subject.

You? non-biased? ROFLMAO! Get back to us when you take down that shrine
of Steve Jobs that you pray to every day.

Probably the first killer iPhone app was the hack that actually let
you install APPS on it!
(It's hard to have a "killer app" on a closed device!)

Which proves YOU'VE clearly never owned a smartphone, and therefore
"there is no way you can comment on this subject."

You realize, I hope, that a statement like that says far more about
you, than the person you directed it towards.
