...less important. One of those was John Szarkowski. For 29 years, starting in 1962, he was chief curator of photography at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. In that role he turned out shows and books that powerfully influenced our understanding of what the camera could do. In particular he championed the groundbreaking work of Diane Arbus, Garry Winogrand, Lee Friedlander and William Eggleston, photographers who, as he wrote, had turned documentary photography "toward more personal ends." He once compared camera art simply to "the act of pointing." He pointed, too, expertly, to pictures that he knew...
...suicide bombers. Dadullah makes clear their targets will be in countries that have sent troops to Afghanistan: "These Americans, Canadians, British and Germans come here to Afghanistan from faraway places," he says on the video. "Why shouldn't we go after them?" One of the graduates told the camera, in English, that he was leading a squad on a suicide mission to Britain...
...example: AT&T's data network is slow (though it seems to be improving). It's a bummer that the camera doesn't shoot video. The glass touchscreen keyboard is kinda freaky (though if there was ever a moment for an ad campaign to license Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Put 'Em on the Glass," this is it). GPS would be nice. So would instant messaging. YouTube videos - in the little YouTube client Apple has ginned up - sound great but look lousy. And yeah, there's that content management quirk mentioned above...
...could go on. And sure, you and I and Danny Fanboy over there could come up with a list of nitpicks a yard long, too.

And personally I like a hardware button to press to take pictures, instead of software, placed parallel to the plane of the device, or I end up with shaky images. And either my thumbs are bigger than normal people's, or it really is tricky to type on this thing.) It's certainly tempting to. The hype...
...There is no instant messaging program on the phone, just text messaging; the camera lacks zoom, flash and video?some of these features may be added later through software updates; and you won't be able to use it on any U.S. network other than AT&T's for at least two years. That might be time enough for a more broadly accessible phone, available across multiple carriers, to steal some of the iPhone's thunder...
