iPhone Update (2 month user update)

First, let me reiterate that I still think this is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I guess you just have to get one, hold one or borrow one to have the magic buzz reverberate through your palm up your arm and make your mouth say "Wow".

There are some sceptics, and you will find them on the web with their 'I don't have one, so I will bash it' blogs.

The interesting thing about this device is this: It came with firmware v 1.1.0 and a great feature set. It has updated itself twice now (we are on 1.1.2) and features are added each time. I think this thing has a huge feature set that they are slowly releasing to the public. Rumors hold video capture, GPS, voice recording and application capabilities.

So what do I not like about it? More memory would be good. I am currently holding 4 full length movies and 1400 songs and have 2 GB left of my 8. And MS Exchange support for my home servers would be cool, but I think that's coming too.

With the SDK (Software Development Kit) being released next year and over 1000 webapps already available, this little device is only going to get better.

The following is for all the non believers. (From itablet.com)

"The iPhone is a marvel of ingenuity, not perfect by any means, but about as groundbreaking as the mobile industry has seen. Just like apple did with the iMac years and years ago, they’ve once again pushed the envelope on what our preconceived notions of a smartphone is. They’ve been bold enough (or arrogant, depending on opinion) to completely redefine how a smartphone functions and what it is capable of.Take USB or the floppy drive for example. Apple removed the floppy from the iMac and made all of it’s peripherals USB. Removing the floppy made many people say the imac was the “nail in the coffin” for apple since “everyone needed a floppy drive”. Then there were claims of “no USB peripherals”, which also made analysts claim apple had sealed their fate. Well, 10 years after the iMac release and NOTHING comes with a floppy drive and the vast majority of peripherals are USB. Apple steers the market with their innovation. With that kind of gutsy decision making sooner or later the law of averages says they’ll have a bomb, but I HIGHLY doubt it’ll be the iPhone or it’s derivatives (although they really should give it the software features that it’s lacking; MMS, Disk Mode, multiple SMS recipients, etc.).Let the nay sayers keep on talking. After 2 years when the mass market has adopted a lot of the features the iPhone started with then those that saw it can sit back and have a chuckle at the johnny-come-latelys."
