[Ask Tog] Traditional cell phones are dull, limited, and at end-of-life. iPhone is glorious, and it is only the beginning.

Tog has a pretty in depth look at the upcoming iPhone. Good read.

    Interesting quote - could be from any random month from 1999 to 2007 concerning touch-screen phones, PDA phones, WiFi cable phones, MMS, EMS, SMS, Windows Mobile, J2ME, BREW, WML, WAP, 3G, 2.5G, and even 4G.

    I don’t think 90% of the tech world truly understands just how screwed up the mobile industry is - or how hard this battle is going to be for Apple. They think “it’s Apple - they made the iPod - it’s going to rule!” and not understand how badly the carrier can screw it all up. Simply put, the best technology does NOT often win, in this space.

    Time will tell. I’m not saying Apple has all the answers, but I think they’re going to raise the bar for whats acceptable for smartphones, as they did with mp3 players.

    Except the big difference there is that they were very early into MP3 player market. And if not The First then the first to go with a hard drive while everyone else was going flash based. The didn’t raise the bar: the defined the bar. Cell phones have been in the market for decades… much harder to raise a bar than it is to create one.

    Time will tell, I guess.

    Not one word about the iCal user experience on the iPhone. Feh.
