iPhone 2.1
// October 7th, 2008 // No Comments » // Technology
At last, I have upgraded my iPhone to firmware v2.1(thanks to someone at my workplace) and what a great feeling it is. This gadget is too good to be true. The facebook and WordPress apps alongwith a plethora of other apps available on the App Store are simply amazing. It’s been only 2 months approximately since Apple released the iPhone SDK and the store is full of some really good apps. I wrote this post using the WordPress application which has all the features I need (except for easy formatting of text).
Ten million iPhones have been sold till now and the number will definitely keep increasing. This phone will rule the cell phone market in the coming years (just like iPod which has been dominating the music player market for years now). This is a revolutionary phone and is more than just a threat for companies like Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Sony Ericsson etc. It’s a wakeup call for handset manufacturers and OS developers like Symbian and Google. It will be interesting to see if Google’s Android platform (which already has support of large cell phone manufacturers) can be a threat to the iPhone. Steve Jobs is an innovator; it is not the first time that he has developed a killer product that is way ahead of it’s time. Although he lost the desktop OS war to Microsoft but the way he is playing the handheld devices game, I don’t think he is going down.
The iPhone is here to stay; mark my words.
