Which One Is Better,Iphone Or Netbooks?

By Mary Solinna

IPhones are quite popular at present and it is known to every household. It has been at the centre of technology buzz since it was released. The latest variant, the iPhone 3G comes with 3G mobile broadband and combines with Apples Safari internet browser. It includes 3 consoles, a phone, a music player and an internet browsing device.

The iPhone 3G shares many functions to a netbook. But there are some differences between two.

Turning on
From turning on to being ready to use, Linux will take about 15 seconds while Windows XP will take longer. The iPhone will take around 20 to 25 seconds.

Typing
The netbook has a full qwerty keyboard about 80% the size of a full size keyboard. As to the iPhone's 3.5" touchscreen, if you want to type quickly, you need a lot of practice. I find it fast with two thumbs, but accuracy is compromised. If you want to be accurate, using the corner of your finger helps.

Browsing
Apple safari has its limitations. Still, with the Mozilla Firefox or Windows Internet Explorer you can view more. You can also surf easier and fill in forms quicker and open more windows on netbooks.

Communications
The iPhone was essentially created as an application for communication. As a phone, it would have the upper hand on communications with its 3G internet and wifi. Netbooks don't generally come as standard with 3G, but wifi is standard. The rise of Skype and other internet phone companies make the netbook very competitive, but it looks a bit strange when talking into your microphone of your mini laptop on your typical commute.

Portability
The iPhone is small enough to fit in a pocket easily. However, we have to carry a bag or something similar around with us, which a netbook can easily slip into.

Cost
Netbooks cost between $200-300 while your unofficially unlocked iPhone will cost between $350-400. But it also depends on where you buy from.
