I’m sure most everyone is tired of the stories about the lost iPhone prototype. What is bothering me the most about the reports is that the circumstances surrounding losing and finding the phone overshadow the phone itself.
I’m not sure if I’m just becoming jaded or is the supposed new iPhone not living up to the A+ update that was promised by Mr. Jobs. Sure a front facing camera is great, a more powerful processor is always a good thing and who doesn’t want better battery life. So what am I missing?
I’m suddenly flashing back to the early ‘90s when the Apple Lisa was rocking the computer industry with it’s GUI interface. There was nothing like it. Microsoft even then was the largest software producer but Apple had a great opportunity to close the gap. Unfortunately, that never happened.
The release of the iPhone in 2007 changed everything. Sure there were smart phones before then but there was nothing like the iPhone. In 2010 there are countless phones with similar form factors and some would even say with similar function.
So what am I missing? Sure iPhone sales are going to continue to grow but what is going to prevent other platforms from closing the gap?
