Since the last phones post…
New iPhone announced, all around nicer, not much change, double capacity (and speed) for the same price.
Problem with the G1: I won’t be able to use T-Mobile that well where I am moving to soon.
Palm Pre: Looks good, but the design, software wise, simply isn’t as good as apple. I quite like using the software keyboard, one of the things about the iPhone (although that is slowly being eroded) is that it puts a sort of limit on what you can do and what probably should be doing on a phone. Which is good.
BUT I already have an iPod touch, which I would either have to get rid of or keep.
This is all completely pointless.
Come next week, there will (likely) be a new iPhone. This will help me along in my decision of what my next phone should be. I almost definately want a smartphone, and have had an iPod touch for about six months.
I did have a concern over the soft keyboard, but I quite like the silent gliding and swooping on the iPhone platform, so the keyboard isn’t really an issue.
What does the Pre have over the iphone? I like the interoperability between applications, the new interface is interesting BUT the keyboard is supposed to be poor and I’m not convinced by palm. Also, I have no idea when there will be a UK version.
What about a G1? It doesn’t have a headphone jack!! Android is very interesting though and would lead itself to more experiments that the iPhone will. But if you take Linux as an example of that, it doesn’t neccessarily mean that they will be successful or useful.
I really hope there are some surprises in iPhone 3.0 especially on software. Looking at some Newton info tonight means I would like some sort of ubiquitous input area which would be intelligently transformed to the right format, but I suppose the whole iPhone is that anyway?
Today I have
