Predictions about iPhone
Hello, I am a die hard apple fanatic and have used apple products most of my life. I don't think the iPhone is going to do as well as most people expect. Some of the reasons are
1) Cost, its ridiculously expensive. It costs 60% of what a basic macbook costs, this will put it out of the reach of most consumers, I know I would never spend $600.00 for it.
2) AT&T. Their high speed network stinks, and the iPhone doesn't even support the high-speed 3g network. That seems rather silly. They constantly rank last in customer satisfaction and network reliability (unfortunately I am a subscriber and plan to jump ship when my contract runs out).
3) Memory size. 8 GB, are they kidding? They are promoting it as the ultimate ipod, but 8 gb of memory for a video ipod is nothing. My nano has the same amount of memory.
I think it is a cool idea, but I think most people just want a relable cell phone to talk on. There will be some die hard fanatics who have to have it, and the initial sales will be ok, but I think in a few months things will die down and they will not meet expectations.
