I still don’t get it. The iPhone’s industrial design may be awesome, its marketing is second-to-none, and not even Nokia’s 5800 threatens Apple’s intuitive touch interface.
So why are lots of people going gaga over a phone that can’t tether to a laptop out of the box, and requires an ingeniously-designed accessory to gain a stand-alone microphone? The $13 Mini Capsule Microphone plugs into the phone’s 3.5mm audio jack. At least Apple never tried to make its earphone jacks proprietary.

I own some of these gadget at home.Anyway Rico i had to admit also on your phrase “At least Apple never tried to make its earphone jacks proprietary.”
Yes, that’s one thing their owners should be thankful for. On the other hand, what the iPod and iPhone lack, a third-party market has grown to provide.
The iPhone is a superfantastic product like the film the “Matrix” it started a new trend for peope to follow and learn.
