Likes the How-to Guide—Updated version coming next issue.

I hope "better-late-than-never" is OK with you. Several months ago, you published The Ultimate Smartphone and Pocket PC How-to Guide. I've been a constant subscriber of your publications since 1991. The How-to Guide is the best thing you've ever published during that period. I've read it over and over at least four times. Even though I'm probably a power user, I still find new useful stuff with each read.

Expect iPhone hacks

I picked up my first copy of Smartphone & Pocket PC magazine at the Tampa airport. The iPhone vs. Smartphone cover caught my eye. As a long-time cell user with Cingular (now the new AT&T), I'm eagerly awaiting the iPhone.

Will there be third-party applications and hacks for the iPhone?

The reprints from your bloggers about the pros and cons were well thought out. The iPhone is a new entry into the marketplace, and based on previous experience with Apple products, the third-party applications and hacks will follow. For example, several hacks have been released for the new Apple TV, including one that turns the three hundred dollar device into a Mac Micro computer. As with all Apple products, if Steve Jobs builds it, they will come.
