The World Awaits iPhone

 

Leveraging on the success of iPod , Apple Inc. is keen on shaking the mobile industry this time with its revolutionary mobile device called iPhone. In the past months, too much hype was created for this product. Thanks to the marketing prowess of Steve Jobs and thousands of bloggers worldwide.

In case you’ve been out of the loop recently, iPhone is a mobile device that converge the power and functionalities of a cellphone, widescreen iPod, and internet communications such as web browsing, maps, etc. if that is not interesting enough, imagine having that in a small and lightweight device measuring 4.5 inches tall!

 As part of Apple’s notorious innovativeness, iPhone is expected to redefine the way people use mobile phones with its powerful convergence of technologies. It is expected to be out in the market by June in exclusive partnership with AT&T.

As we all know, there is a price to pay for every new technology in town. In the case of iPhone it’s $499 for a 4GB model and $599 for 8GB, way above average price of mobile phones in the market. However, analysts believe there will be major price cuts later on, dropping the retail price by up to 50%.

Will You Buy?

While most mobile users are aware and impressed about iPhone, it is ironic to know that only 6% are willing to buy according to a market survey. As expected, price is the main culprit for such a low rating.

As for me, I say wait for the competitors to enter before indulging in this revolutionary mobile device. There are some rumors about Google Phone and Microsoft’s version called oFone.
