Frequently asked iPhone questions

At The New York Times, David Pogue has followed up his iPhone review with replies to some frequently asked questions. A couple of samples:



Do I need an AT&T account? Yes. The iPhone won't work at all without a two-year AT&T voice-plus-Internet plan (and no, you can't use it as just an iPod, no matter how tempting the bigger screen and longer battery life is).





How snappy is the real iPhone, compared with Apple's ads? It's identical, with one exception: Apple never shows the iPhone when it's on AT&T's cellular network. That would just be embarrassing.





What does [the Web browser] lack? Java, Flash, stored passwords, RSS, streaming audio or video (except for some QuickTime videos).



The Think Secret site also has a collection of snippets from reviews, which includes the information that: "Apple has developed a web app at reader.mac.com that will bring RSS feeds to the iPhone. Users will be able to add the addresses of news feeds and check on headlines through the Apple-designed RSS aggregator."
