The problem with copy/paste was related to sandboxing. If you have a FreeBSD jail which talks back to its host this creates trouble. You should look up how difficult it is to develop a microkernel with services in a secure and reliable way. Very hard...

I don't want one btw. For various reasons.

- no access to the file system
Jailbreak

- many useful applications are disapproved by apple
Jailbreak

- limited Bluetooth use (no modem, file transfer or external GPS use)
Jailbreak

As you can see jailbreak is a word like 'rtfm' or 'utfs'. It opens a can of worms. Just like you can compile or develop for N8x0.

Apple is the first with a slick finger-touch UI although the devices are lacking in other areas.

I can sync iCal with my Nokia E71, I can sync iCal with my iPod touch. I cannot sync iCal with Nokia N810. Bummer! But thats life, those are the positive and negative aspects of each device and manufacturer.

Some iPhone users will laugh too once RX-51 gets iCal support. Or gets HS*PA. Or gets hardware rendering. Or gets multi-touch. Or gets accelerometer. Yes, these are basic features. Yes, competitors already have it. Yes, they are useful features. Yes, they are most welcome.

And Benny, yes we all know by now that you hate finger-touch UIs. Stick with stylus-touch UIs like Sharp Zaurus, Nokia N8x0, Apple Newton while the rest of the world goes forward to finger-touch UIs...
