5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
According to those that have seen the prerelease version, it includes identification strings for as yet unreleased models, sparking fresh speculation about forthcoming iPhones. There have also been reports of at least one carrier preparing to cut the price of the iPhone 3G in order to clear existing stocks ahead of the debut of a new model. Rumour-mongers are asserting several changes are ahead for the iPhone, though opinions are divided about whether this year's model will be a replacement for the current iPhone 3G or an upmarket addition to the range - an 'iPhone Pro', if you will. One story is that Apple's highly-regarded handset will get a new camera capable of genuine video recording. Given the widespread use of phone-sourced video even on commercial news broadcasts, the lack of this feature is an embarrassment for iPhone owners. This hardware change, rumour has it, will be accompanied by a basic video editor (my minimum expectation would be the ability to trim unwanted footage and add basic titles), plus provision for uploading movies to the web and sending them via MMS or email. What other changes are anticipated for the 2009 iPhone? See page 2. |
