I've not had much of an issue with recent Nokia and SE phones though so I can't see how Apple could improve on such a simple process as selecting a name and hitting send. Just seems wrong to be paying $3 for something that is normal on other phones, even for a usually apple loving fanboy. ps. I guess I'm just miffed at their price increases on the Macbooks here in the UK. And the glossy screens. Ugh.

I remember playing with it on the Palm V and later on my Nokia phones. The idea worked but the implementation always sucked. The iPhone is the complete opposite of all those failed technologies. It doesn't do everything but what it does it does well. Well, the bluetooth vCard exchange never really worked for any phone. I remember playing with it on the Palm V and later on my Nokia phones.

Come on Apple, get your act together and we'd not need these apps. No offence intended but this app would be pointless if Apple had a clue.
