The Apple iPhone – predictions before the rush

Before the reviews are posted, before the big chaps weigh in, here’s what I think.

1. It will be generally well received
2. There will be a few ‘limiting’ factors. For example, the keyboard looks to be an issue for anyone with fingers and a standard amount of moisture on them. Who knows.
3. Texting will probably be a load of shit with that keyboard. We’ll see.
4. The email will be useless for anyone who gets more than 5 emails a day … unless of course, they keyboard is any good.
5. The music integration will be brilliant.
6. Someone will realise that at 2G/2.5G speeds, it ain’t that brilliant for the UK. Although if you live in and around a wifi area, could be good, could be good.
7. Just what is going on about the battery? Will it screw things up for Apple? My iPod battery is fine. But I don’t use it religiously like I do my handsets. They’re being recharged like no tomorrow.
8. I will want one I’m sure.

Got any to add?

  1. A couple of things I’ve read in the review that put me off the 1st gen device:

    No video recording…
    No cut and paste of text…
    No user ringtones… (I want my themetunes to knightmare / jonny briggs)
    No games.. (I do like whipping out my nokia to play bomberman or mastermind to pass the time on my travels)

    But I do hope when it arrives here they force the network into unlimited data – which I hope will force the hand of all the networks.

    But any competition in the marketplace can only be a good thing.

  2. And iPhone 2.0 will be released on June 30th and will be awesome and correct all the bugs in the initial release. All the early adopters will be left with a dud.
