Apple announced the…
…today. I usually don’t buy into market-speak hyperbole. But, wow, the iPhone sure looks like a winner. The Microsoft Windows Mobile product group has a lot of head scratching and catching up to do now.
Couple of items…
- The iPhone won’t actually be available until June
- It will only be available from Cingular (which will become AT&T Wireless). This leaves out a large double digit percentage of US mobile phone users who are on Sprint PCS, T-Mobile, or Verizon Wireless
- Assuming it only has a single battery, I’m concerned about battery life if I use it as both my phone and audio/video player
- We don’t know what applications will be available. Me? I need Ilium Software’s eWallet on whatever mobile device I use.

Its getting close to july. Only a few weeks left.
arunas: I think your analysis is premature. We don’t know what variant of OS X the iPhone will run at this point (unless you are privy to that information). Steve Jobs has already said that they are not allowing 3rd party applications to be installed. That, it seems to be, is less flexible than the other smartphones available (Windows Mobile, Palm OS, Symbian, etc.).

As per specification of the iPhone this device running on natural Mac OSX OS that is real OS and with more flex possibilities (not like Pocket PCs). This also mean that will be very easy to sync with mac 🙂
