An electrical outlet in which to plug in an electric teakettle. To
make tea.

Avoid Apple like the plague.

Those poor iPhone users are still waiting for multitasking to be
implemented, while pocket pc users have been enjoying multitasking
for years.

My iPhone (not jail broken) allows me to be on a phone call while I am
reading email or browsing the web. And I get background push notifications
through several apps. While it may not be technically full multitasking, I
don't feel a need for more.

It sounds like you have drunk Google's Cool-aid.

Ah, so finally you can now play 3 separate playlists of mp3s on the
iPhone?
That's the feature that I enjoy most on my HTC PPC (for listening to
various kinds of music
and audiobooks simultaneously).

Does it have gps and an orientation sensor so you can automatically
orientate pictures and record gps data in the exif info?

Does the iPhone allow you to record phone calls? Does it allow you to
use the iPhone as
a voicemail or answering machine to automatically handle calls or
present callers with an interactive menu of options?
