Steve Wozniak (left) is experiencing "some positives and some negatives" now that he's lived with his iPhone for awhile. Apple's co-founder was at the front of the line at an Apple Store in San Jose, Calif., when Apple's first cellphone went on sale June 29. The man better known as "Woz" told me in a phone interview that he loves the appearance, human touch, Safari Web browser, and messaging on iPhone -- plus the fact that the device is "more like my computer and less like other smartphones I've used."
But he's still not relying on iPhone for voice, leaving that to his Motorola Razr cellphone for now.
Woz is compiling a list of peeves he plans to share with his former partner Steve Jobs; the two haven't spoken about iPhone since the phone launched. On the Woz wish list: voice dialing and a 3G -- or third generation -- data network that is "more reliable" than AT&T's Edge. He'd also like to display the temperature, in Celsius, on the home screen.
Woz has encountered some bugs, too. "Very often I can't send e-mail. And sometimes it does seem to send e-mail," he said.
Still, he said, "I'm pretty impressed. The right things were done [and] it took some bravery to give up some of the existing ways" things are accomplished on a phone.
