I'm a former Palm OS / Treo user (also from Sprint) and I can certainly list several things that irk me about the iPhone OS/GUI, but I have trouble taking seriously anyone who makes claims like that one. There are a ton of interesting, useful apps available for the iPhone. That's the main reason I just bought my 3GS instead of the Palm pre. I hope the pre does well and a year from now has a real SDK available and lots of great apps, but not only do they not have hardly any apps available, they also don't appear to have a real SDK even in beta form. The SDK is just for creating HTML/Javascript-based apps, and I believe that the source code can be easily viewed. As a developer, I wouldn't touch that with a 10-foot pole.
Seeing as other iPhone users haven't been offended by your comments, I'll add that the biggest thing I'd like (which I posted a separate thread about a few days ago) is a recently-used apps list. I used Hi-Launcher on my Treo to get a quick pop-up of recently used apps when I pressed-and-held the phone button. I can get by without real mulitasking, but I would like a quicker way to jump between apps I'm using.
