Apple iPhone: Get in Line or Wait for Version 2.0? June 28, 2007
With all the hype surrounding tomorrow's release of Apple's iPhone, I had to throw my two cents in. There are reports that both praise and criticize Apple's newest addition to its family of trendy tech products, and both sides have some good points. The pro-iPhone camp is excited about having a sleek, attractive, all-in-one device that offers a fantastic web browser and a great screen. Those hesitant about the iPhone argue that the device is overpriced, unproven, lacks sufficient storage, and limits customers to signing a two-year contract with AT&T. In addition, questions about the device's "keyboard" still remain.
For me, I think it would be fantastic to have one device that combines my phone, iPod, and web browsing in a pocket-sized package. However, I can't see myself shelling out $600 for the phone and $2,000 over two years for the service. The phone's 14-day return policy also makes me a bit wary. I, for one, will definitely be waiting for at least version 2.0 before I can even seriously consider buying this smart phone.
