ALL ABOUT APPLE'S IPHONE

[Visual C#]

---

Yes you are a Mac fanboi because:

- you have nothing but praises for a product that hasn't been even released yet (what we'd like to call a soft launch).

I think the iPhone will bomb because:

- the interface, while fancy and all, brings nothing new to the table. Nokia and the rest of the mobile phone makers have already done it! Why reinvent the wheel? Why enter a market that is already so congested with so many competitors? Why? To impress Apple stockholders, nothing more.
- exclusive touch-screen buttons? Please.. people will always like the feel of tactile buttons. and the LCD screen? How long is that going to last? These types of phones are most likely going to be extremely fragile, and break on impact from such a low-height drop.
- it is gorram expensive?
- it doesn't have 3G? All that moolah ($ 450) for the phone and no 3G? Bleh.
- its going to be exclusive

Don't get me wrong; I believe Apple is a great company. MacOS X is indeed far more secure and reliable than XP (or probably even Vista). Macs always look sexy. They succeeded with the iPod because, while there were portable digital music players available at the time, they were the ones that really innovated (great interface, cool design, etc.), not to mention massive marketing campaigns.

But the iPhone is a desperate attempt to get into a market that really is saturated with so many other competitors. They'll really bomb on this. Like what markyap already pointed out, all the market it is going to get is a secluded "niche" of Mac loyalists and zealots, and other people easily swayed by advertising. The rest of the world won't even know that the iPhone exists.

Expensive

please check the prices again.......

there are phones as expensive at $499 to 599.......

3G... I have given the reason.... LET the DUST Settle.... MAnufacturing ISN'T a PROBLEM.....

- exclusive touch-screen buttons? Please.. people will always like the feel of tactile buttons. and the LCD screen? How long is that going to last? These types of phones are most likely going to be extremely fragile, and break on impact from such a low-height drop.

Last time i checked..... palm keeps selling the TOUCH SCREEN TREO..... give me RATIONAL reasons....
people wouldn't have bought the TREO since as you said TOUCH SCREEN is FRAGILE.....

and wait.... microsoft mobile phones are also TOUCH SCREEN..... Why would people buy them.... DUH!!!!!

Nokia has N800 also..... PEople working for NOKIA are DUMB right?

Do a little BRAINSTORM please........................

- its going to be exclusive

iTunes is exclusive..... now Ipod should DIE RIGHT??

DUH!!!!!

people will accept exclusivity AS LONG AS IT DELIVERS.....

Its like saying the PLAYSTATION 1 was a desperate move by SONY against SEGA and NINTENDO.....

and Before I forget XBOX 1 was ALSO desperate.....

there is an old CHINESE proverb which goes: "NOTHING RISKED NOTHING GAINED"

That is the difference........

So What if there is TOYOTA, LEXUS, BMW..... you can make your own BRAND for a CAR and IF YOU do IT WELL...... Ultimately its the BUYERS who decide.....

Why reinvent the wheel?

Wheels before were made from STONE......

Go put a STONE WHEEL in your CAR...... and have it SHOWN on the FLINTSTONES.....

DUH!!!!

"Necessity is the mother of invention"

SO please don't tell me Why reinvent the wheel.......

Apple Iphone is going to BOMB.....

Truth is PEOPLE won't buy a PHONE in Anticipation for the Iphone.... They may or may not buy the Iphone when it comes out.... but OTHER Phone manufacturers will be frustrated since buyers will wait.....

Start developing foresight..... you might get hired by APPLE one day.....

[derkie]

Goes to show Iphone even though its not avaible......... The interface ROCKS.....

customize your PocketPC phone all you want....

It only helps prove the point.....

microsot mobile already in version 5.0

Apple iphone at version 1.0 only.....

maybe when microsoft mobile gets to version 6.0 it would be like the Iphone.....

just proves microsoft has minimal creative and design talent

Zirv, don't get me wrong- i'm just doing it for kicks- i'm not using this skin/interface because again for me iPhone's interface is so Gay, and there's a lot of skin out there that i can customize, ambot lang kung ingon ana ba ka dali i customize ang iPhone (kung ma release man gali na..) same reason why i got Zune instead of an iPooood.

anyways, -- personal choice that's what it is. iphone for me is just so yesterday.

If you intend to do something give it your best..... or else don't do it......

in case of photography.....

get a cheap equipment

don't expect quality images.....

small or little doesnt mean cheap...DO YOUR HOMEWORK!

if you own and use canon 1DsMKII (495,000pesos) and i use canon 300D (20,000pesos).
my camera is considered cheap therefore my images will not be of good quality?
thats BS! any photographer will tell you, you are full of it!

compare the two.... and you will know which one is better.....

[RyoZen]

ipod's the only dominant product of apple... they can't beat microsoft in the OS market no matter how stable and reliable the mac OS X might be than xp or vista... and now, they're attempting to dominate the mobile phone industry... hehehe... i wonder how they can beat a whole bunch of companies out their with their so-called TOTL iphone... yeah, right...

[aleyson]

well, you just have to see if they do dominant...their brand is pretty popular.

[markyap]

compare the two.... and you will know which one is better.....

come on really, you think you can tell which photo is from which camera?
you are SOOOO full of it...

tell what cameras were used to take these photos...

300d's image quality is enough... who needs an IDMKII with such a price? who needs a pricey iphone with such new few features to give...
