iPhone ... Would You Want One?



The moment that all Apple fans have been waiting for ... first, the iPod, and now, the iPhone - the totally quinessential mobile phone, web device, portable music player, portable media device with a touch screen running on Mac OS X. The penultimate wet dream of all Apple fans!!

The question is then, "Would you want one?" Yes I do, but not now, and not when they've just launched it. IMHO, any new product will have bugs, and sometimes, nasty ones, that will surface and bite you real hard in the backside. Until and unless these bugs have been resolved, all you get are bragging rights, and agony that you face when you encounter the bugs.

Having said that, Apple has once again outdone itself with the design and the interface on the iPhone. We now to have see how it will survive in the real user environment.

This six-month gap may be what ultimately kills the iPhone. It may allow the already well entrenched competitors to improve on their current designs while sabotaging negotiations on the iPhone trademark between Apple and Cisco.
And I have to agree with you that this being Apple's first foray into the mobile world, there are bound to be a number of bugs and glitches.
