From our front-page news:
The first batch of iPhone reviews started to come out late last night from the big three Apple reviewers: Walt Mossberg, David Pogue and Edward Baig. The verdict? It's what we all expected. The hardware and software have been long revealed to us all, which leaves little surprise when the on-hand experiences hit.
Walt takes jabs at the new phone's battery life and AT&T's spotty 3G service. Pogue takes aim at the iPhone's GPS antenna being "too small" (wait, what?) and the fact that there is no turn-by-turn navigation, and the lack of "voice dialing, video recording, copy-and-paste, memory-card slot, Bluetooth stereo audio [and] phone-to-phone photo sending (MMS)." Finally, Baig wishes for Flash, Windows Media and Java support.
Overall, the three reviews complement the iPhone for having faster speeds, improved audio quality and GPS. The fact remains though, if you want one, you probably know whether or not it's going to be in your pocket in a few week's time.
