Of course. It makes sense. Why buy an iPhone now if you know that a new, better, and faster one will come out in a month?
“Nearly one-in-four potential iPhone buyers said that they have been putting off their purchase until Apple rolls out a next-generation model that supports the faster 3G data network, a market researcher said today.” Read the whole article on MacWorld.
Ever since Apple came out with the iPhone, the #1 complaint has been the fact that it’s not 3G. It’s true. Almost all the other Smartphones out there are already running on the much faster 3G network, so why would I want a phone that’s slower than my friend’s?
Anyway, the 3G iPhone should be here soon. Only a few weeks (or months) away!
This is interesting. Speck, one of the biggest online case sellers for phones and laptops, has a whole bunch of iPhone cases on a 50% off sale. Now, obviously, we aren’t advertising or selling iPhone cases here so I am not just trying to give them a free plug. But if you think about it, the iPhone is hot. People are buying them hand over fist. Why would they try to get rid of all the cases?
Of course, I am just reading between the lines here, but could this mean that the new iPhone (as in the 3G iphone) might have a different size as the current one? Or the other possibility is that they are just overstocked on these right now, which could also translate to Apple slowly down sales of the current model and the new one is coming out very soon.
It’s official. Just like everything else, once it gets on The Wall Street Journal, it gotta be real! Here’s a part of the article from The Wall Street Journal:
Research In Motion Ltd. plans to introduce a touch-screen version of its BlackBerry device, according to people familiar with the matter, answering the challenge posed by the popularity of Apple Inc.’s iPhone. Read the article on The Wall Street Journal.
The bottom line? Just wait everyone, the Blackberry 9500, aka the Blackberry 9500, aka Verizon Thunder (I guess it could be Vodafone Thunder too, since they are getting that in Europe) is on its way! Just to recap, the Blackberry Thunder is supposed to have a touchscreen, just like the iPhone. For more info on the phone as well as the potential picture, you can read our old entries.
Most people don’t buy Blackberrys for music. That’s what an iPod is for. But now since Apple is integrating everything with the iPhone, Blackberry is now introducing Media Sync. With Media Sync, you’ll be able to import all your iTunes songs to your Blackberry! I swear this Blackberry Bold is sounding cooler by the minute.
This is seriously the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. Well, at least recently. This guy created this program that literally converts your Blackberry into a TV remote! It even shows you TV listings so you can see what’s on, as well as changing channels and all that good stuff. Not only that though, this app will let you control your Apple TV, Apple iPod, and even all your A/V equipment! Take a look at the demo:
I don’t know why I didn’t put this up sooner, but Sergey Brin and Steve Horowitz from Google actually made a nice looking demo video for Android. Looks pretty cool. Somewhat reminds me of the iPhone without the iPod music stuff. That could come later though, as developers are still trying to come up with programs for Android.
