Recently I found an advert offering "absolutely cool" and super modern media players (for playing mp3, other audio and video files). Let's see what we have there... Testimonials say that these players are better than iPod... Cool! All look not bad, but I would say that 512 Mb of memory is not enough... Average audiobook may take more space, and those media players, as it said, they may be used for playing videos - 512 Mb for video - surely not enough... Even my mobile phone holds 2 Gb of data and it can same types of files...
30 Day moneyback is a great option... So now it's possible to check if those players are worth buying or it's another piece of chinese crap on the market...

iPhone - many disadvantages discovered !
Many folks who already have got an Apple's iPhone are disappointed with many disadvantages of this expensive gadget. As for me, I would be mostly disappointed by price of iPhone... But lets see what people say :
1. iPhone's sold are locked to AT&T and it's price with AT&T contract stuff may vary from $1500 to $1900. Besides now you're a slave to AT&T with your phone.
2. Japan and some other asian countries are already enjoying devices with many more features and for much lower price. But lets forget japanese... since we are not in Japan, we may skip this...
3. Internet/EDGE works much slower than as it had been present in adverts, YouTube works rather slow....
4. You can't detach the battery.
5. Glass display may be broken if the phone falls down (I had my N73 Nokia fell down many times and from various heights - it still works great and nothing happened to it's case or screen)
6. Sensor keyboard is not comfortable. (I guess! Specially if you are using a stilo - When using NORMAL phone you have one hand busy with it, when using stilo - both of your hands are busy)
7. Sending of MMS is not supported.
8. Camera makes photos of not so great quality, it Can't record video! (Almost all GSM photos with cams can record video, even the oldest ones!)
9. Not enough support for flash sites.
10. 3G is not supported.
11. You can't save documents on the phone, you can only view them!
12. iPhone is not that compact as it looks in advertising presentations.
Those are the most important disadvantages of iPhone. There are others people are talking about, but these ones seemed most important for me.... Well... it looks like my Nokia is a great phone comparing to this device! And I've bought it for just about $300, not locked to any operator. To conclude this : I will NOT buy iPhone in a close range of time.
But if you are an Apple fan, I guess you will buy it anyway :) Let's see, maybe you will like it ;)
