No device is perfect. The lack of a Free MobileMe option is an issue for me.
Also the fact that neither Apple or Google are part of GSMA is a big issue as it balkanise features (RCS for example).
However, Apple has the best screen and touch technology, the best App market and a web browser that is as good as Chrome.
I will buy the iPhone 4. I was tempted by HTC and Android but Apple still has the edge at the moment.
1) your right its just a marginal improvement, however its a good worthwhile improvement thats still miles ahead of anyone else. 2) 30% is pure spin and tonka toy multitasking (but at least it will work). should have called it good enough multitasking. 3) the killer screen is really something to behold. industry leader for at least the rest of 2010 i gather. 4) if you think nokia or other oems will do as well.. FORGET IT. Nokia has lost the plot and only releasing mediocre mobiles at best. 2007-2010 what has the oems done for high tech.. almost ZIP. AMOLED screens ok, nice, carriers are still trying to block WIFI around the world. Mobile markets severely fragmented, disjointed, and lackluster. Apple owns the roost again until end of 2010 at best and perhaps well into 2011… sadly…
I was following the announcements closely yesterday just to see what Apple had up its sleeves and i must say that visually the devices looks cheap especially from the pictures that i have seen, i think i need to see one up close and personal. I think one issue for many people especially on Orange and Vodafone is the fact that alot of new/old customers have recently upgraded to their “new” iPhone only to yet again be met with the latest device from Apple world and most probably not be able to upgrade until next year and i think they will feel quite cheated.
I think i have read on one of the many websites that O2 have promised a “special” offer for people in commitment already but have not released details unlike AT&T have so it will be interesting to see what the other networks do in reaction to this, let the battle begin!
Apple aren't really innovating here, they are taking existing smartphone features, 'Noddy-ifying' them and adding the usual Apple based 'swish and pizzazz'. It's a bit lazy, but hey, it's what they do.. they'll sell millions, people will want the new model. People will coo at the fact they can multitask, do video calling, and take 5MP photos whilst flashing it around like a it's a slice of fried gold. Us phone geeks will just nod politely and ignore the fact that we've been able to do it for years.
The only surprise was the inclusion of the gyroscope – that should give TomTom's hardware team some sleepless nights.
The highlights for me are the pixel density of the display, the HD capture at 30fps (and yes, it's looks to be perfectly smooth) and iMovie, I can't wait to see how well iMovie performs with those 720p clips.
