5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
What’s happened is that a MacRumors forum member called mrat93 found a new iPhone icon in the iPhone SDK image collection, and somehow, from this tiny icon, differences between the real 2G iPhone available today and this icon have caused some to ‘believe’ this is what the 3G iPhone will look like. However when the icon is enlarged as seen over at Engadget, it just looks like a pixellated version of today’s iPhone to my eyes, which some Engadget posters have also commented on. Hilariously, the picture of the ‘real’ iPhone on the right hand side over at Engadget has a tiny fatal flaw – the volume buttons and the tiny switch to turn the iPhone to silent are shown on the right hand side of the iPhone screen. In reality these buttons are on the left of the 2G iPhone, something pointed out by Engadget commenters and which I verified by looking at my own iPhone. So hungry are iPhonophiles to get any new iPhone news pre Jobs’ WWDC June 9 announcement, that even tiny little icons like this are being poured over for any clues to the 3G iPhone. I’ll bet Apple’s iPhone development people, the marketing department and even Steve Jobs himself is having a good chuckle over the latest piece of iPhone ‘news’, while probably still a little in awe of just how much publicity and attention Apple’s products generate – although they’re well used to it by now. So – is this a major discovery or much ado about nothing? Please read on to page 2. |
