Since Steve Jobs’ initial presentation of the marvelous iPhone, there’s been high anticipation. I even found a web site dedicated to the iPhone buzz. It hits the US markets on June 29th.
I don’t get it. The invention of the cellular phone was a real revolution. In the past years, cellular phones have become more powerful, more sophisticated, and they work much better than in their first years.
My average cellular phone has a 1MP camera, it can record video, record sound, play MP3 songs, play music from the radio, has a humble calendar, a decent web browser and I even use it to make phone calls!
So can someone tell me what’s the buzz all about? What more can this fabulous iPhone give me?
At the meantime I’ll stick with my Nokia…
In 1993, I ordered a CD-ROM drive for my PC. The trendy word then was “MPC” – Multimedia PC. I payed about 1600 nis for it, and it was a x1 speed drive, with a caddy. bout 4 months later, a friend perchused a double (or x4) speed drive, at half the cost.
Those were 1600 nis well spent, but on an important lesson, rather than the drive. I am no longer an early adopter (at least, I try not to be).
