3G Phone to be released June 9th … Says Analysts
In addition to a 3G iPhone release in early June, the 2.5G model could have a “minor casing change” and a price drop to between US$299 and $349, compared to the current $399, wrote Shaw Wu, an analyst with American Technology Research, in a research report.
I heard that it’s going to be 3 mm thinner, yay!
The iPhone 2.0 software provides enterprise applications to iPhones, including push e-mail support through the Microsoft Exchange mail server. It also includes an SDK (software developer kit) for developers to write iPhone applications.
I, for one, would care more if Apple quits being selfish and open up the iPhone for developers, the “iPhone software store” essentially is a iron gauntlet that only lets programs that Apple permits to be installed on the iPhone. I’m not even going to start on the monopoly and privacy issues. People may argue that the “iPhone Software Store” is worth it due to the money Apple has in funding for programs and that it is an easy way for developers to release their software and generate a return. But the thing is, nothing is stopping Apple from having the software store and let third part developers install programs through their own means, and not the software store. Developers can still choose to release their programs through Apple, but you also have the open software delivery through the internet.
Hmm, the thing is. Apple couldn’ve released the iPhone with Edge domestically in the US and another version with 3G internationally. I think Apple just wants Mo’ money, by profiting off the first version from the first version and people who can’t wait, and again with the 3G version. Probably the same reason that the iPods don’t come with FM radio, so that Apple can profit from it later.
That said, I’m still more likely going to buy an iPhone rather than a Windows Mobile 6 PDA.
Anyway, geometric series awaits.
