When I chatted with Dan Pink, author of A Whole New Mind, he said to me, "Steve Jobs wanted to create a computer for right-brained people."
Yesterday, I played with my dad's new iPhone and, you know what, it really drove home the difference between right-brain and left-brain thinking.
My T-mobile Dash, which I love, and does pretty much everything that the iPhone does (maybe more) pales in comparison to the more ephemeral and less measurable, "user experience."
Simply put, the iPhone is elegant. It's enjoyable and it's fairly intuitive (didn't love the keyboard, but I think you can get past that.)
It feels good and you don't feel like you are using a computer.
I was VERY impressed.
