So the World Wide Developers Confernece was yesterday and as expected the new iPhone was announced. Although the new iPhone sounds pretty cool, faster networking, Exchange integration, GPS and a lower price I cant help think that the millions of folks who bought the first round of iPhones have to feel cheated.
I admit, if apple had signed the exclusivity agreement with Verizon I probably would have been in line for one myself. I don't own an iPhone but I have lots of friends who do and I think its a beautiful consumer device that may one day turn into a good business device.
For now I NEED a phone for business that is proven so I have been back and forth between Blackberry and Windows Mobile for years. For my money Blackberry does all it needs to very well while Windows tries to be all things to all people and does a lot of things OK.
So now all those people who paid 4 or 500 bucks for a phone are now seeing a better device come out at a huge price reduction. I must say I would get what I coule for my 1st generation phone and getting in line for the July release. How bout you?
Peace.
