Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
Yes, iPhone can be considered a toy. But the power is there, and it's making leaps and bounds.
I sold iPhones to customers. Before the iPhone 3g, I would never recommend it for a business. If they wanted business power like exchange capabilities for their phones, like checking email and calendar exchange - I would always steer them to a WinMo device or Blackberry. Now, while I do not recommend the iPhone - I readily admit that it is capable to do those activities, and will fit their needs. It is no match yet for the BlackBerry, but it can compete with a WinMo device to some extent.
But it's not quite there yet. If they run a mac - it's perfect. If they run something else... Well, the iPhone will do it and do it well, but really - choose a tilt or a BlackBerry.
It's getting there though.
Now, as to this - why run WinMo on an iPhone??? Maybe only to have the best of both worlds at your fingertips (literally!)? So you can have WinMo's exchange power, but still have the status symbol? So you can change between OS's? I don't know. I understand it on a full pc, but I'm not sure on a mobile.
But the thing is.. WinMo still relies heavily on a stylus for a lot of things, and a iPhone cant even use one because of its capacitive screen.
The main reason the iPhone got so popular and changed so much is because of its nice UI, but thats about it from what I can see.
I think this is just one of the things people do just to say "Hey look what I did!"
I actually use the Iphone for my work/fun device. I used to say that no way could it replace my blackberry or my Winmo devices. But it has. All I need is email search and little more calandar support and its there.
