The reason why you shouldn't buy the iPhone

I like the iPhone, a very nifty phone, not just having a built in iPod, but revolutionising the mobile phone, the birth of apps, and a superb touch screen. However there are some reasons why an iPhone is not the type of phone you should buy. I’m not talking about the small things, the reasons you can’t really get over:

There have been many rumours that Apple will buy Adobe, and they continue to have no base in reality. Why do these rumours and gossip always find their way into the media? Many believe that a potential purchase of Adobe by Apple would only serve to make Adobe’s products that much better, make things easier on the product users, and eliminate similar applications.
