iPhone, uPhone, wiiPhone....
Ok, been checking out the new iPhone website, and it definitely looks pretty snazzy. Shame about the digital camera being so low-res... If they had been able to bump it up to at least 5 mega-pixels, it would be a lot cooler, but now that I think about it, I don't remember even seeing a flash on the sucker... oh well.
The iPhone is definitely cool, but by no means a breakthrough, rather I see Apple as being the leader in today-tech... its really the only one that is pulling in all the right ingredients and making a special dish that combines them correctly. If anything, I'm not so much amazed at their ability to pull this off, if not rather the inability for their competition to not have thought about this sooner.
If you think about it, the iPod was on its was out of existence as eventually all phones will have the ability to listen to music, the brilliance lies in that they where able to leapfrog ahead of themselves and ad another category of product on a much higher price point than any existing iPods - a good move, which will allow them to keep all existing product lines, for as long as possible. Tying themselves into a specific carrier for so long will also help them ensure that the iPod sales will also continue to blossom for at least another two years.
I'm not so sure I have a point to make. Nope. I'm really only trying to get my writing flowing again... so to my loyal readers (you both know who you are), bare with me as I get my juices flowing again.
