I think javispedro is wrong in most of his assertions, I think mobile application quality is great, on EVERY platform; Maemo, WebOS, Android, iOS.

You do not seem to realize that you are contradicting yourself. WE ARE the community that is trying to ditching the laptop and start using our mobile devices as replacements. We are doing REAL WORK on our mobile devices and thus we have HIGHER requirements from the operating system than the iOS boys, which are mostly happy with throwing birds from a slingshot onto pigs.

This is one of the reasons we CANNOT really even think about using the iPhone in a daily fashion.

YOU are the one who is refusing to acknowledge this. You will keep on depending on a computer, while we will eventually not as soon as the prices for "phone docks" get low enough.
A great deal of people have ditched their laptop/netbook for a tablet. iPad/Android. That's a fact, you can look at the market, you can see what people are buying and not buying.

The iPad/Android tablets are being used by MANY as replacements and doing real work already. You're trying to make it happen when it is already being done. iOS on the iPhone vs iPad is pretty much the same, only thing that has changed is form factor. No one is going to deny it is harder doing things on a smaller form factor.

My iPhone is coming VERY close to replacing my Samsung Q1U UMPC.

Speed: Check
Battery life: Check
Word processing: Check
Web Browsing: Check
Multimedia: Check
Connectivity: Check
Image Editing: Eh...
Video Editing: Better than my UMPC, but still eh...
Programming: No
File sharing: Yes/No - DropBox/iCloud = Yes, no SD = no

You seem to be almost devote in your praising for this platform. You can argue all you want that MC is the best in the world and nothing comes close, but when it really comes down to it, I don't know what you're talking about.

There's so many things you can attach to an iPhone that give it such a wider range of abilities, from processing credit card transactions to a Geiger counter. And the platform your using hasn't even accomplished spellcheck yet (one of my long running criticisms of Maemo 5).

I'm not telling you the iPhone is a better phone, I am not even going to make the claim that it is better for most people. I am just here to inform, compare, and contrast.

As for the store by anthonie - that was a good example. And once the meeting was over it only took you 10 min to open Fennec, go to Facebook, and post a status update (without spell check) about how good a job you did on that one occurrence. (I'm just messin' with you!)

I never attempted to record calls on my iPhone but from my quick Google search it appears to be possible.

Something I have noticed is that the questions being asked are, "Can X be done in THIS fashion?"
