Dear Product Managers: Stop comparing your product with the iPhone!

I attended a press conference a few days ago for a high end smartphone brand. Among us were some tech bloggers, IT journalists and a number of lifestyle editors from the glossies.

Mickey Mouse Mobile Phone with Apple logo?

Many questions arise from such a product. First off — is this really an official Walt Disney release, knowing that it came from China?
Secondly, why does it have the Apple logo on the upper left hand side of the phone’s casing as well as on the back?? I mean, Disney and Apple are related - […]

iPhone 3G costs $773 and $881 with Open Line in Europe

Telcos are doing some huge subsidies. Apparently the $199 price for the iPhone 3G is a huge mask over its real price. Europe has just announced their pricing and with an iPhone-only package out of the box, this will cost USD $773 for the 8GB model and $881 for the 16GB model. Wowzers. OK so […]

What does a sub $200.00 iPhone do to the phone industry?

I’m excited. Really excited. Not much for the new 3G iPhone features, of the fact that you can now sync it over .Mac (renamed to MobileMe). What I’m excited about is competition. Today, Apple announced the new prices for the iPhone 3G: $199 for the 8GB model and $299 for the 16GB upgrade. With Windows […]

iPhone Now Has Solar Panels // The future of pushing it with gadgets

Nokia’s developing a Zero Waste charger. Gave away a solar powered accessory last week. And now Apple’s turning the iPhone green as well, with solar panels. Yep, call it pressure or part of a bigger corporate vision, but the iPhone is in tweaks to receive a solar charge.
Call it a hybrid of sorts, because […]
