    • European iPhone Sales Better Than Expected [view article]
      "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 is not the technology within the iPhone that matters - it is the interface and experience that Apple is betting on. The touchscreen is actually quite revolutionary compared to previous touchscreen technology found on car GPS systems, electronic slot machines, and tablet PCs. The iPod after all is nothing but a bundling of existing technologies and the coincidental existence of a newer smaller hard drive.

      Steve Jobs mantra has always been that consumers will trade features for ease of use and clean interfaces, and for the majority of users, he is right. Those of us that understand the benefits of a slightly faster internet connection and exchange support are simply the minority.
