ExtremeTech's Jim Lynch posted ten reasons why he won't buy the iPhone 3G



Well another WWDC has come and gone and this one left me somewhat disappointed. Oh sure, I thought the apps coming out for the iPhone were cool and it looks like the 2.0 software update is going to be great. I'm particularly interested in getting some fun games for my iPhone. I can't wait to use my phone as a steering wheel and that sort of Wii-ish gaming stuff. It'll probably be the first handheld gaming system that I ever really wanted to own.
