One more from Engaget.

It’s too early to make the decision. But given the known infomation, for me, I still prefer iPhone.

Reason? Simple: iPhone’s unique user experience, like pintch and scroll. And i love it. So far I can t see any clues that Swith( name of Google Phone) could beyone that.

Your choice?

YouTube Failed in iPhone

Friday, August 3rd, 2007

First, I m in Beijing, China.

Second, there’s no EDGE here(even if iPhone could be unlocked).

Third, my iPhone activated through DVD Jon’s hack can surf the web via wifi in both home and office.

I’ve googled around for the clause, but got little.

One possible reason is that YouTube needs EDGE. Only can YouTube work under EDGE?! I doubt that.

Another reason is about how iPhone is activted. It’s said Jon’s hack that disable YouTube function. To be confirmed so far. Leave a message if you know something,please.

Update (Sep.15):
1. Beijing does has EDGE service which is still in trial.
2. YouTube works or not has nothing to do with the way iphone connects to internet.
After a little hack my YouTube now can do everything except playing the video in both WiFi and EDGE mode.
