Engadget tells us about Steve Ballmer's big di on the iPhone. He calls it "by far the most expe ive phone in the marketplace," which is of course not even close to true. There's a big luxury phone market out there, as Engadget reminds us, and the iPhone is hardly among the biggest tickets of the big ticket mobile phone items. Ballmer called the iPhone "not suitable for busine purposes", which was also not a huge surprise given its lack of keyboard, 3G and (as Engadget puts it) "half-hearted attempt at Push mail". So is Ballmer out of line? No, not really, e ecially since he talks ecifically about su idies and contracts in reference to his "expe ive" comments, but that won't stop us from complaining about his comments. We're fangeeks and this is one of the things we do.
