I watched the Apple keynote speech last night and I was amazed to see the new i-phone. I know im a big Apple fan but they seem to have nailed the the mobile (cell) phone in one hit. It just makes you think how bad the product design skills of Motorola, Nokia, Sony and the like are. The new iphone does everything. It plays movies, its a camera, phone and internet browser. The most remarkable thing is how user friendly it looks. In Europe we should expect to see it appear just before Christmas 2007. In the States some time in the summer and early 2008 in Asia. Mark my words this thing is going to be huge. If we thought the IPod was big this could blow the competition out of the water. My only concern is the price. $499 for the 4GB model and $599 for the 8GB model. Expect to pay at least £300 in the UK for the basic model. This could be the only downfall. Hopefully they can drop the price in the future once this thing takes off and manufactring prices drop. So parents start saving your hard earned cash, this is going to be the first Christmas present on yours kids list come Christmas 07.
