Will iPhone change everything?

Filed in archive Mobile Phones on May 11, 2007

There is so much being written about the iphone, questioning whether this device is going to change everything. The three things that stick out like a sore thumb, limiting the usefulness into the future, is the:

. . . non-availability of third-party applications, battery is not removable so when the battery dies the device becomes useless, internal storage is limited to 4GB or 8GB, no expansion slot.

Yes, the $600 brick (i.e. not having a removable battery making it useless when the battery dies) is the single thing to be happy with before proceeding in buying an Apple iPhone.

Also see the new update on Apple deciding whether to allow third party applications.

I do not think iPhone is as much a show maker that iPod was at its release. Long wait until June when iPhone is said to be released. And for those who do not live in the USA, there is no intended roll-out date of the iPhone yet.
