So iPhone is suddenly a smartphone with advanced tech? Seriously? Its but a bundling of two years old tech. And no, it's not a smartphone. Email and a web browser do not turn a phone "smart", at least not in Europe. On the other hand, it lacks seriously on the multimedia department, too, so I don't know what it really is.

It's a nice toy to play with for a while, yes, and it is very advanced for the US markets. Elsewhere it is quite unimpressive.

I wonder how Apple will manage to sell that device beyond its established user base in Europe, where most people have never even heard of iPhone... or Apple. Apple is not a global brand in the league of the likes of Nokia, Samsung etc.

Apple has done nothing to improve that. I guess they believe the operators will simply do all the dirty work for them. I wouldn't count on that -- the European operators don't need Apple, unlike, say, AT&T, to do sound business.]]> Fri, 07 Dec 2007 19:27:33 -0500
