Also because the iphone is garbage as well. It's cool and good to dunk on google for being a bunch of incompetent morons but I've had an iphone before and it was even more frustrating to use.

I had a n770, I used it on a couple vacations for browsing and email and it was a deeply annoying device to use but in 2006 was way better than schlepping a whole computer or using internet cafes. I sold it in 2008 to some drupal dev who seemed really excited about it
