The new 3G iPhone, let it be said, is a staggering piece of technology. It may be weeks away from official release here in Australia, but if everything that is said about it is true, then I am hard pressed to think of a device that does so elegantly what the iPhone does.
I have had my eye on the yet-to-be-announced Nokia E71 for a while, and there is a real chance I will still go for that, however the iPhone has gone from being a pretty toy to a serious business phone and surprised everyone in the process. It isn’t the fact that Apple’s moved the goalposts; it’s more that they have started playing on a different field altogether. As if each iPhone developer at Apple had a picture of me (and every enterprise user on the planet) on his or her desk, with a cross-hair superimposed on it!
I should also point out that I do not normally gush about any particular brand or piece of equipment. I am not a Macevangelist, nor am I a Microsoft junkie. I just like good technology. So I really do hope that the iPhone does all that it promises to do… I don’t know if I could deal with any more disappointments this year.
