IPhone to have better battery life, upgraded surface
I’ll admit, I’m a little obsessed about IPhone developments. The latest article talks about improvements on the phone. But imagine my surprise when I learned that IPhone will not be released to the Canadian market anytime soon? That’s ok, we don’t mind. Let the US market be the guinea pigs on this one. I don’t have an IPod either and I’m still alive.
Apple To Roll Out IPhone On June 29.
There’s been a lot of buzz around Apple’s iPhone set to be released June 29, but after reading the above article I can’t help but be a little disappointed. Internet access and storage for music and video are two great features that one can come to expect for *most* smart phones. As early as 2001, I recall telling my partner that I couldn’t wait until the day cell phones combine, storage, and highspeed cell internet access *as well as* 802.11b/g WIFI access in order to take advantage of highspots now commonplace all over the world. And you know what? I’m still waiting for an affordable option that includes internet, storage, digital camera, and wifi.
Apple’s iPhone if this article is correct is set to be launched with 4-8 gigabytes of storage. Not bad. But not too good given the $499-599 price tag. While it appears to be as top quality as most smartphones out there, with perhaps more emphasis on widescreen and other media enriched features, it’s not likely be revolutionary.
Where’s the wifi access? Is this a conspiracy amongst cell providers? It makes me wonder. Is the storage built in, or flash? If built in, 4-8 gigs will soon seem limiting to most people.
And with that, I must confess, the search for me continues: 6 years later.
