Apple I was there, the first day, buying the iPhone, after months of reading all the speculation and argument about it. I was actually on the fence on it. When I walked into the Apple store on June 29th, I wasn't even certain that I'd be buying the iPhone. I had some serious concerns. But I made the plunge. I bought it, and I've been using it heavily ever since. With one month clocked with the iPhone, here's my road test report.

headphones

I just hope they fix the headphone's jack which is so receded that most 3.5mm headphones can't be connected to the iPhone. My (and apparently many other people's) ears are small, so I can't use the included headphones and this either design bug or design decision makes the iPhone useless for me, at least as an iPod. I can't use any of that kind of in-ear headphones, they just fall off and I have documented this issue on my blog last year. According to google searches that lead to my blog about this issue, it seems that a LOT of people with smaller ears can't use these earphones that come with most mp3 players. I need over-the-head or around-the-head/ear headphones and while there will surely be some that are compatible with the iPhone, I am not interested in buying garbage headphones just to be compatible with the iphone, neither I want to use anything different than the three very good (and expensive) Sony headphones that I already own and usually use with my devices. So, if Apple never fixes the headphones problem (which I dare say it was a marketing design decision because they want people to use the "white headphones" which is a virtual trademark of the iPod), they won't see a dime from me. Let alone the third party applications limitation.
