Jason wrote an article on why he doesn’t want an iPhone for ZDnet, and as such, is a much more technologically literate person than most of the population out there. He’s an avowed Palm Treo fan, a very popular smartphone model, with mini keyboard, browsing capabilities, multimedia capabilities and more. It’s a model I quite like too, and I can certainly see why he loves it so much. Jason doesn't want an iPhone because it probably won't have the smartphone features the Treo has, but that's precisely the reason why many people will want an iPhone. Less complicated, easy to use and it does music, too - the iPod way. I personally love smartphones like Jason, and as a journalist I get to test a lot of phones. Being in contact with lots of people, as I often help them fix and update their computers, I show them the phones I test and the iPod nano 2nd-gen 8Gb model I wear around my neck with the Apple Lanyard headphones along with whatever other gadgets I'm testing at the time. And after having shown a lot of people the iPod and spoken of the possibility of an iPhone from Apple, many profess to also want an iPod and phone merged together from Apple.
And while smartphone owners already have a unit that can play mp3s, videos, TV shows, audio books and more, some of them want an iPhone, too. While they’ve probably already purchased a 1Gb or 2Gb memory card, and might even already have two or more, just so they can take their music and digital media with them, some wonder how much nicer the digital media experience would be with a real Apple iPhone. |
