This is a good article from one of my favorite Mac blogs, MacDailyNews. It describes why the upcoming iPhone rip off-- ahem, sorry-- touchscreen phone with integrated App Store knock off and other features, known as the BlackBerry Storm, will be inferior to the iPhone.
Let's not start off on the wrong foot. When it comes to the passe kind of phones that use plastic keyboards, BlackBerry must be my favorite. I like how well it does email, I like its simplicity, all that stuff. However, there are serious flaws with this new BlackBerry that can't be overlooked. No Wi-Fi? Are you kidding me? That's one of the bare necessities you have to have on any smartphone. Also, it's lacking many things the iPhone can tease it with. No multi-touch? No accelerometer? No iPod? No ecosystem of product cases, docks, headphones, headsets, etc for it? It has a few things like the said App Store knock off, but really, who wants to develop for the BlackBerry? The iPhone is the #1 phone on the market, and Apple has a cult following unlike any other technology company.
Bottom line: BlackBerry Storm isn't the iPhone-killer. Apple's products are often-imitated but never-duplicated, as seen with the Mac (Windows), iPod (Zune), and iPhone (phones such as the Voyager, Storm, etc). If the iPhone will indeed be destroyed, you anti-Apple nerds are going to have to wait a little longer.
