IP Convergence: Beyond VoIP, Beyond Cost Savings

it costs a lot fortune!!!!!!! i would get it but i dont have $500 to spend on a phone

    When would the Apple I-Phone be available for sale?

Every now and again things change. Not because they have been shuffled forward millimetre by millimetre by thousands of scientists pushing the boundary. Like Intel winding up the clock till it breaks and aiming for faster processing. No every now and again things change, I mean properly change. Like when Dyson just said one afternoon "why on earth do i need a bag in my vacuum?". So to my point, finally a team of thinkers have sat down and said to each other what do we like, what don't we like, what do we want and what don't we want. The then made one. No fuss no messing around. Just think about the other companies attempts, "Yes it is a touch screen but you need a stylus" or even "yes it will do email but only on my wi-fi connection when i am in the office!"

 

 

 

It would seem, for the first time that a company has sat down and developed a concept design and .... well made one. I mean made a real one. That people can buy. Not like a concept car, "yes we know it's beautiful Mr Beckham but it's not for sale it's an example" or the new Sony wafer thin monitors "you can't buy them but and they swish". what a load of PAP.

 

 

 

So to close. Apple say "check that out, isn't it cool" and bugger me it is. I am off to buy a MAC and an Ipod and a blackberry and IPAQ and a SMART phone and a digital camera and some sticky tape and i am goanna bloody well make my own.

Here's the official IPhone page.  There have been numerous reports since the announcement about PROs and CONs.  One of the main CONs is the price point, and lack of 3G support.

The iphone is a reality  (i saw it on CNN!)

Checking into the rampant rumor mill here - from DIGG.com - "Several reports are doing the rounds that Apple Computer has given the contract of manufacturing around 12 million units of iPhones to Taiwan-based Hon Hai Precision, also known as Foxconn."

It makes all the sense in the world.  Some questions I have - would the phones be locked into 1 carrier?  That would suck.   Are they GSM or CDMA?  Will they be dual-mode with a WIFI chipset?  I hope we learn these details soon!
