After months of debate, it is finally there--the iphone from Apple. It will be available on the Cingular network in the US. The design is mind blowing. So you have the first mobile phone without a key pad. No stylus too. And a big, big screen. Now isn't that what mobile users have been waiting for. At $ 499 it is definitely expensive. But, by the time it arrives in India, prices will be definitely lower.
The iphone is a three-in-one device. It is a phone, an iPod and you can surf the web While the Gang of four--Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and Samsung--are still silent, I am sure we'll see clones of the iphone by the end of 2007. After all, this is one product that could affect their bottomlines.
But, despite the hype, Steve Jobs will have to battle it out with router company Cisco Systems to use the name. That's because Cisco owns the trademark iphone after it acquired Infogear in 2000. Irrespective of what happens, one thing is clear: this in one product that will change the way the world talks.
