As with anything that is launched by Apple, there is a huge degree of hype. Who can forget the launch only a few months ago of the Macbook Air, and even the initial launch of the iPhone was one of the most anticipated product launches in history with no-one forgetting Steve Jobs presentation in Las Vegas.
And just 12 months later, the latest version of the iPhone was launched which contains 3G capabilities and improved internet access, which has commented on in a large number of blogs. One of these written by Elliot Jay Stocks, seemed to capture the mood of the community who were anticipating the upgrade that whilst it was better, there was still room for improvement. Yes it now has 3G, but the camera is still way below other mobiles and there is no facility to record video which is pretty much standard on phones today.
Elliot catches the mood perfectly that Apple has a way to go to convince the public at large about the iPhone, and that not all hype should instantly believed when a product as exciting as the iPhone is launched, research still has to be done.
Like thousands of other bloggers and Apple fans, he was eagerly anticipating the launch and was left a little disappointed. It just goes to show that for all the glitz and hype connected with these product launches it still pays to conduct your own research and form opinions before parting with a large chunk of cash just to have the latest gadget.
I still wouldn’t mind one though……….!
