iPhone 3.0 will put the iPhone years ahead of the competition?

Published 18 March 09 03:37 PM | rodtrent

"The new iPhone OS 3.0 is a major software release packed with incredible new features and innovations for iPhone customers and developers alike," said Apple Senior Vice President Philip Schiller. "It will keep us years ahead of the competition."

Uh…so what’s the major, killer features?  Here’s a few:

  • Cut-and-paste
  • Phone-to-phone wireless connection
  • Push-notification system
  • Landscape view for email
  • Phone tethering (maybe)
  • Flash support (maybe)

 

Years ahead of competition?  Gimme a break.  Windows Mobile has been doing this for years.  Apple is just catching up – not releasing breakthrough features.

Sorry Rod, but I think the iPhone is already years ahead. The apps for the iPhone are just so much more impressive than those for the Windows Mobile or Blackberry devices. I say this as a previous user of both platforms and one that would LOVE to have an iPhone, but they're not approved devices in my company and I'm not going to carry two phones.

Just as you said, it's not the hardware - it's the add-on apps.  Just like the iPod - it's the iTunes that make it.  Build an app store for Windows Mobile, and WinMob becomes years ahead?
