Communicators for someone irreplaceable thing, but for someone unnecessary trinket. Everyone chooses for him according to the parameters that interest him and which he needs accordingly.
So, I want to consider the iPhone from all its far from beautiful sides, unlike the media, etc., describing it as a phone "for centuries" and a revolutionary in the world of phones.
So, let's begin. The first, one of the most important drawbacks of such phones is the lack of a GPS receiver; for many people, market-oriented iPhones like iPhones, this is an indispensable thing. Now almost every recently released communicator on wm has gps on board, which by the way almost does not affect the price. The second, far from important minus, is Mac OS X, it is not known what kind of OS is on the phone. But the situation with the software is already clear. The shortened selection of software and the corresponding zero competition in its market. In general, new games and “features”, will have to wait for a long time, if at all, you will have to wait, because it’s not a fact that the axis on the iPhone will use third-party software installation. Unless widgets (bggga, who used poppy, he knows).
Thirdly, the camera, 2MP is normal, but it is rumored that it will leave the owner a few good impressions of himself. The same can be said for the display, 320x480 is not new and to the appearance in Russia, it cannot be considered something supernatural. One button, this is far from an ideal solution, people who have used communicators probably imagine that the display’s “dirtyness” is provided, especially with the lack of a stylus :) here and doubtful “super sensitivity” will not save. A multi-touch display will still make itself felt))) Well, the processor is 200MHz, in 2007, you see, for such a PR, it's like putting a bike on a German car dealership. Moreover, everyone knows the glory of Samsung’s Samsung
And so basically, the “super heaped” iPhone is no different from the average communicator of recent years, even inferior in some places. Only BT 2.0 from Cambridge Silicon Radio is good, a lot of things can be done with bt, although when installing a stack from csr, etc. on ppc, the exact same options appear, and even the iPaq has gotten this for a long time. Although the firm bt from Cambridge Silicon Radio promises to be interesting) And by the way, do not forget about the storage and file names in the iPode, probably the shortening of the formats of the transferred files will be cut to the maximum, depending on the stormy struggle of the apple for the copyright of everything and everything that can how to bring money.
So think about it when, when the iPhone appears on the Russian market, run headlong after him. And by the way, it won't be sooo soon, if ever. Although our craftsmen will untie everything and everything :)
