10 things Apple did right in the iPhone
1. The display, the display, the display. Everything looks good on it.
2. The menu design: It's simple and clean, and the home screen icons look like so much eye candy.
3. Fingertip navigation, zooming and scrolling that's intuitive, effective and fast.
4. Video playback that's so good you can tell when you've done a sub-par job of ripping your movies.
5. Visual voicemail lets you get to the calls you care about faster.
6. Great integrated applications, including Google Maps, YouTube, and a world clock that packs a timer, stopwatch and multiple alarms.
7. Cover Flow. It's incredibly fun to choose your music by visually flipping through album art.
8. It's tough: Our initial stress tests suggest that the iPhone is more durable than you might expect for such a sleek handset.
9. The first Apple music player with a built-in speaker--and it's not half bad for a phone.
10. No disconcerting "do not disconnect" messages when syncing with a PC.
