    • iPhone: The Network Is A Problem [view article]
      We can't have this discussion with the assumption that Apple didn't look at all these issues. As a cingular subscriber with the 8125 pocket pc I agree about the inadequacy of edge dataspeeds. My initial guess was that Apple wanted to hold 3g capability for a 2nd gen iphone. The evolution of the ipod and its smaller siblings has gone through 4 or 5 gen cycles and I would tend to think Apple was worried they wouldn't have enough feaures to continue to add in order to get the type of generation cycling they need in order to generate their revenue goals. I personally disagree with this strategy. Intentionally crippling a product is never a good idea. THe fact that 75% of the market does not have access to data plans beyond 2g helps understand Apples decision. I suppose we'll wait and see. Jan 11 01:18 AM
