Two years ago today, Apple launched the original iPhone. in June 2007, I described using Apple’s smartphone as “life changing.” Despite my grumpiness about iPhone battery life and 3G call quality, I stand by the description.
Analysis. I believe rumors that Apple is preparing to launch not one, not two but four new iPhone models. If not, something is seriously wrong down One Infinite Loop. Such a move would lower the entry price to $99 and to free, if AT&T has any sense about rebates. Apple could unveil new iPhones as early as Monday, during its Worldwide Developer Conference.
My initial reaction to Nokia’s Ovi Store is “Huh, this is it?” Today, the mobile application marketplace opened for business in nine countries—Australia, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Russia, Singapore, Spain, United Kingdom and United States. I really expected more, as in content. Where are those supposedly tens of thousands of applications already available for Symbian OS variants S40 and S60?
Last week, I heard Stephen Stills song (circa 1970), “Love the One You’re With,” while shopping at a supermarket. Some advice to heavy texters: Be with the ones you’re with. If you’re with a bunch of people, stop texting and hang with your friends.
How much do some people love their cell phones? It’s a grave question, as some people choose to take along their cell phones when they die—or so claims the BBC.
Seriously.
