1. You have to pay a Cell Phone fee

2. The screen is too small for Internet use

3. I already have a laptop I can carry with me, 15.4 inch screen that is.

4. I rather use a mouse and a keyboard not one of those crayons to point and click.

5. Only little babies should be in possession of a crayon.

Now tell me what makes the iPhone better than having a laptop, and what does it have that a laptop doesn't have?

1. Of course you pay a cell phone fee - it is, after all, a cell phone.

2. The screen is small so you can fit it in your pocket - try doing that with your 15.4 inch screen laptop.

3. How many phone calls can you make with your laptop?

4. You don't use a crayon unless you call your finger a crayon. You only use your finger - no crayon, no stylus.

5. See number 4.

The size of the iPhone makes it better to carry around with you. A laptop is better for what it intended to do, but rather than carry a bulky, somewhat heavy laptop AND a cell phone AND an MP3 player, it's nice to have one device. Obviously you wouldn't use an iPhone as your primary browsing medium or for writing resumes, but as an all in one product it works pretty well. Plus with all the aps you can get (free and paid) you only make the iPhone that much more usable.
