i know you disagree, but i believe iphones are here to
stay...
its not really expensive.
if given us pricing, it would be about 600-700 SGD. compared to
another pda phone, i rem paying 900 for an ipaq with 2 year plan
about 1 yr ago.
so its well within market prices.
the greatest deal about the iphone is the dev enthusiast community
as well as the 'relative' ease to write programs on OS X that works
on the iphone.
in less than 6 months, the number of unauthorised apps available
for free is staggering. imagine after the sdk is released.
i look at the iphone as a natural evolution from the ipod. current
ipod users will just think, why do i need to carry 2 devices? i
just have the iphone which combines both.
given the ipod's track record, iphone is no where going to
disappear. the value proposition is too high for people who are too
used to having an ipod.
im not sure of your views, but reading about it, it seems the
iphone is a platform for apps, not just a phone. you can develop
apps and programs for it, much like a computer.
im not a programmer but information sources lead me to understand
that coding for OS X (linux related?) is far easier than trying to
fight with windows mobile OS.
