UGN InfoManager: iPhone amongst 2007 losers

PC World's Dan Tynan picks his choices for the year's biggest technology losers. We would agree with some -- others, maybe not. Apple's Leopard and iPhone are amongst the top 15 disappointments...

Of the Apple iPhone, Dan quips:

"Yes, we know. Sliced bread only wishes it were as great as the iPhone. And aside from minor flaws like a tiny touch keyboard and lack of Flash support, the phone itself is pretty terrific. But AT&T's broadband service? Definitely second-rate... "

But that's not all...
