Just because it is iPhone, it needs to be harsh

    “All parts of internet”, what do you think about it? Apple’s iPhone commerical said the new iPhone 3G can deliver all parts of internet. As most of the users already know, iPhone does not have flash. It does not really deliver all parts of the internet. That’s what exactly UK’s Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) think. ASA said it is misleading and thus banned iPhone’s commercial.

    HTC Touch Diamond also said they deliver desktop-like browsing experience. But, the truth is, some websites cannot be displayed correctly. HTC Touch Diamond’s browser also cannot view Flash. HTC also said their 7.2Mbps connection is faster than 18 times of normal 3G. And it’s faster than home broadband. If I got Verizon FiOS (speed up to 50Mbps), is it HTC Touch Diamond still faster than home broadband? It is clearly very misleading.

    Why ASA do not ban HTC Touch Diamond? Are they biased? Do they hate Macs? Just because it’s iPhone and ASA needs to be harsh?
