iPhone catching up
Tuesday, 9. June 2009, 03:59:59
Today Apple release a new iPhone, same looks but a few improvements in hardware and software.
The new version came with 3.2MP the resolution that was the best in 2005 with Sony Ericsson k790 and Nokia N73-N93 the SE the first with xenon flash and the Nokia with optical zoom (N93).
Also the new iPhone now can record video at 640x480 30fps, something the Nokia N93 was a first, the video record of smaller resolutions in mobile phones was a reality back in 2003.
So the iPhone is closer to what the N93, released in 2005, was, but with touch screen, something they did improve, the only thing actually.
Still missing...
-Turn by turn gps software (in the box and not $99 usd I preffer the montlhy fee like in Nokia Maps, because there are month when I don't use the GPS)
-A good camera, at least 5mp
-Multitasking, like all symbian, windows mobile phones can do.
-Flash support in the browser, the apple lovers claim the iPhone has the best browser, how is that if it can't handle flash.
-Multiple browser windows open, or tabs. I think that is part of multitasking.
-To do list or tasks or checklists.
-Office files viewer (at least) editor will be great.
-Java support
-No restrictions in the apps, I want to install all kind of stuff no restricted nor chose by apple, and no I don't want to jailbreak.
With all that, the iPhone will be closer to what a real last gen mobile is. Also a change in design can't hurt. It looks good but is so 2006, you can create a new great looking mobile, like the changes you do with the nano and the shuffle iPods.
So I'm staying with all the other alternatives, with better pricing, apps (90% of iPhone apps are silly games) and no restrictions.
But if you want an iPhone in Mexico are free with a $46 usd plan that has 200 minutes and unlimited data in a two year contract. Or better go with the Nokia 5800 same deal plus one year of free music from the nokia music store.
