Everyone knows what an iPhone is. It has been at the centre of technology buzz since it was released. The latest variant, the iPhone 3G comes with 3G movable broadband and combines with Apples Safari internet browser. It combines 3 consoles, a phone, a music player and a internet browsing device.
But it shares many similar functions to a mini laptop; the quiz, is which is better?
Netbook Linux
Turning on
Both have a uncomplicated on button but time to take to load up varies. With Linux, the time can be as short as 15 seconds, although Windows Xp will take longer. The iPhone will take colse to 20-25 seconds from turning on to being ready to use.

Typing
Typing on both isn't the same as on a desktop, but the netbook still has the edge here. It has a full qwerty keyboard rarely less than 80% the size of a full size keyboard. It takes custom to type fast on the iPhone's 3.5" touchscreen - I find it fastest with two thumbs, but accuracy is compromised. If you need to be accurate, using the corner of your finger helps. Still, it's difficult, especially when you've got a protective case on to stop scratching the back.

Browsing
Apple safari as its limitations, but the version on the iPhone is more than adequate. Still, the Mozilla Firefox or Windows Internet Explorer are capable of viewing a lot more and it working. You can surf easier on netbooks, fill in forms quicker and open more windows.

Communications
The iPhone was essentially built entirely as an application for communication. Netbooks are designed for someone else role. As a phone, it would seemingly have the upper hand on communications, what with it's 3G internet and wifi. Netbooks don't ordinarily come as suitable with 3G, but wifi is standard. The rise of Skype and other internet phone associates make the netbook very contentious - but it would look a bit strange talking into your microphone of your mini laptop on your typical commute

Portability
The iPhone is easily small enough to fit in a pocket, so maybe is an easy winner here. Still, most of us carry a bag or something similar colse to with us, which a netbook can easily slip into. The new Sony Vaio P Series can easily slip into a jacket pocket.

Cost
Netbooks typically cost in the middle of £200-300, whilst your unofficially unlocked iPhone will cost in the middle of £350-400 depending on where you want to buy. You can only but the legal installation unlocked iPhones in countries where it is illegal to sell locked phones like Belgium, New Zealand, Italy, Australia, France, Germany and Singapore. Officially unlocked iPhones will set you back colse to £500 - and the price keeps rising as the pound weakens.
Overall: Netbook wins
