Thanks. you're rather easy to satisfy (well, you're rather behind, technology wise, re mobile phone, GSM, UMTS, et al). The "features" of the iphone are about 5 years late here in Europe. #m The iPhone is GSM, just like European phones. I might point out that additional "features" come at the cost of size, weight, and shorter battery life. This is why the iPhone does not have 3G, for example. If you want more features, you need a bigger battery, which makes the phone thicker and heavier. There is nothing innovative about the iPhone except the interface and external design. Interface means a lot more to most people than they realize. Consider the Volvo or the BMW. Neither of these auto manufacturers are particularly innovative; the Japanese usually come out with new features before they do. Yet, the Volvo and the BMW are very popular not because they are filled with the latest gadgetry or have displays the resemble the Ginza district of Tokyo. They are popular because they are good quality, very comfortable, good performing autos that hold the road as if they were on rails. But you could argue that they are five years behind Japan, technologically. In some ways the iPhone follows a Swedish pattern. Design trumps features. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor |
