Time magazine does it again; Awards Apple iPhone as the top gadget

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

  I have to admit that Time is letting me down…again. The iPhone, for all of its nice GUI, is but a thin client cellphone–done right, mind you, but still…

  I voted against the “thin client” when it was being pushed onto our desktops by Sun and company, and I am fighting against the thin client cellphone now that it is being pushed on us by Apple.

  I want to control what is on my phone and when I can use the apps on my phone (like when I am in an area with no GSM service…).

  What say you?

  Remember when Hitler was Time’s Man of the Year in 1938?

  Me too.

  @jonnybruha

  Are you claiming that Hitler had no impact on the world? Or that Hitler is a forgotten name, a person that is of no historical reference?

  Or are you just evoking Godwin’s Law and equating something you don’t like with Nazis thereby removing the possibility for rational discussion?

  “I am fighting against the thin client cellphone now that it is being pushed on us by Apple.”

  Good man. Fighting is , perhaps, too strong a term for not buying, however. In any case the iPhone will not be a thin client next year when an sdk is released for native applications.

  How lame is that!? I’d be a bit embarassed if I was from ‘The states.

  What part of this phone is made of Liquidmetal?

  Comments anyone

  Let me say it like this. I don’t think we remember Hitler because he was Time’s Man of the Year.

  My point is that Time has no credibility.
