Recently, Steve Jobs announced in upgrading the storage memory for both revolutionary iPhone and iPod Touch. iPhone now comes in 8GB and 16GB which double the memory from it's previous models. As for iPod Touch also double its memory from 16GB to 32GB. Simply amazing how Apple can please their customers.
iPhone and iPod Touch is the first in the world which uses the Multi-Touch user interface. It means you can use more than 1 finger simultaneously to navigate the touch screen on the device.
At the moment we can't get the iPhone in Asia yet. But I managed to check out the iPod Touch which is similar to iPhone, except without the phone function. iPhone is sold exclusively by AT&T and Apple. So the phone is SIM locked to AT&T network only. I can see many Asians already using the iPhone which was bought from the US and they managed to unlock the SIM somehow.
Apple also introduce movie rental feature in their new iTunes 7.6. You can use your iPhone to buy music or rent a movie and watch it immediately.
The main thing iPhone is lacking is, it does not have word processor and spreadsheet softwares. Of course, people usually use Microsoft Office as a common platform for sharing. It is a very entertaining device but not so friendly for business use. Apple is opening its iPhone to developers to develop 3rd party software for it. So, we shall see.
Last year, Apple had sold 1.1 million iPhones within 6 months since the launch in June 2007. They are cutting a bigger slice of the mobile phone market share.
Apple never stop impressing their fans. I believe the next generation of iPhone is on its way very soon.
