The article went on to talk about how lousy the iPhone was at just being a phone. In addition, how poorly it was as an MP3 player, compared to its sibling, the iPod.
It pointed out some other flaws with its inability to show some websites loaded up with Javascript, Java, Flash, streaming media and other plug-ins.
