Apple iPhone everything the Zune could have and should have been
January 9th - 30 Responses


Apple iPhone

Admittedly I’m no expert in the mobile industry, but I have to say, I’m feeling the iPhone. Beautifully designed, packed with features, it’s *almost* everything I’ve wanted in a mobile device (I say this as I cancel my order for the Nokia E61/E62). I’m a little bit disappointed with the lack of AGPS/GPS and/or UMTS and I’d have preferred a $399/$499 price point, but I quickly get over that disappointment the minute I take a look at OS X running on that beautiful wide screen. Apple has really done it again and if the execs over at RIM, Palm, Microsoft and every smart phone manufacturer aren’t muttering a few “uh-ohs” under their breathe, they’re living on another planet.

Now I ask the question, was Microsoft mistaken to not converge the Zune with a mobile phone? I’d think yes. The age of carrying a personal media player and a mobile phone are over, the age of hand-held mobile computer is coming and it seems Apple is ushering this in and Microsoft is left missing the boat (does the UMPC still exist?). To all the new Zune owners, I almost joined you, but a month later, I’m thanking myself for not taking that leap. Seems my near-death iPod Mini will have to last until June.

See the beauty that is iPhone after the jump…

    Yeah, it´s just ab fab. And definitely something I´d save up for.

    But when I think about loosing my mobile now (with textmessages and phonebook)- what would it not be like to lose your iPhone? Your whole life is on that thing, and if stolen anyone can just grab all your data, passwords, emails etc like THAT! eek!

    I wonder if you will be able to play games on it? Apart from the standard mobile shit games…?

    The iPhone looks awesome, and I wouldn’t mind having one myself, but I think it’s mainly for the consumer market and not the business market. It doesn’t support any windows based files/programs and it’s a closed system so third parties can’t make programs for it. It’s pretty restrictive, but you know a lot of these problems will be addressed in the next version of the phone.

    The iPod touch is a great iPod, an awesome pocket computer, and a neat portable game player. Listen to a mix of songs automatically put together by the new Genius Mixes feature. Watch a movie.
