iPhone - Would You Stand In Line for a Laptop with Dial-up Only?

OK, so the hysteria has somewhat calmed down. The reviewers are indeed mostly raving, but I can’t help being puzzled. The iPhone is supposed to change the industry, yet it uses yesterday’s technology.

1. EDGE is a different name for horrible browsing experience. The only equivalent I can think of is a scooter engine trying to pull a Rolls Royce.

2. Side-loading only? you mean I need to connect my phone to the PC again? wasn’t it all about mobility?

3. Camera without zooming? Are we back in 2003 and nobody told me?

Hats off the Apple and Jobs. Their marketing strategy belongs in the MBA hall of fame. I am sure the iPhone will be a great phone, eventually. Right now it’s a good looking iPod that gets you stuck with one mobile operator for 2 years.

Aner,

geeks like us always need to remember that ease of use rules. All the features in the world are valueless unless average joe sixpack can access them and extract the value. That means he or she must be able to text, browse, email, play music and phone without ever opening the manual. Apple are still king at delivering this ease of use.

I hear you, but in your terminology this means that browsing is slow, pictures are crap and the wireless phone needs to connect to a PC. how’s that for the average joe?
