Well, now the question being, whats breaking in it. It was expected though.
Here are the features worthwhile
1. App store - Interesting enough, the mantra of modern world ! Create a platform, and let others build, something Facebook started. So all you have to do is give API's and SDK and thats it, the world will do you work !
2. GPS ! Well now start wondering what will happen to Garmin, Tomtom & Magellan ? Dont worry, i am sure they are more feature oriented, since they are specific to function as a GPS device. In a phone its a nice to have feature, which will primarly be used for presence features, that will help you be more locatable, for searching directions and also, things like pizza places around you ! where you dont need to worry about defining where you are, thats almost like a GPS in hand ! But then does it reroute, does it speak out directions, does it show traffic yes it does, it does show the speeds too (by color conventions). Interestingly enough, this is possibly the best feature for a 200$ phone !
3. 3G - How does that help us ? we are tied to the useless and costly AT&T, thats bad in US, mobile companies tie you in contracts ! India is better , your device is what you buy and then you choose providers ! I am sure i wont use this feature, unless i am in europe. I guess its primarly for the european buyers.
Everything else is the same old iPhone ! Well now the question is it a worth buy ? I would say the price of 200$ for 8GB seems attractive, but i might not yet buy, since i feel it seems bulky, and we are forgetting the basic reason for the device, we wanted a decent phone, everything else is anyways portable, with smaller and better laptops !
I would say, OSX should think about opening up to PC's. Anyways i would still say Linux is the best, i am using it and i enjoy it. Its come a long way, even though its just community supported ! But if there was no Vista, i would certainly say that XP did rule for quite a long time, and it still does, dont know why package XP add crap on it and call it Vista .. anyways that going to be another post ..
