iPhone
Yeah, like every other Apple fanboy I was sitting there salivating and waiting for Steve Jobs to announce this puppy.
Damn smooth interface design, including the wide screen and the accelerometer and other gizmos that make this thing so great. Still, there are a few things I’d like to see.
- [user] replaceable battery
- the camera, not sure if it has a flash, doesn’t look like it. If not, it should make the Apple emblem the flash element
- Very cool to run on the international GSM [and maybe GPRS] standards systems. Given that they are going to market this in Asia come 2008, where in Japan G2 systems (e.g. GSM/GPRS) are on the way out, the iPhone will undoubtedly be a G3 phone (where as of 2006 G3 phone use was at about 40%). Also see this gizmodo article, and this is HSDPA
- An unlocked version that can run on other carriers [using the same network type]
