Apple announce crippled iPhone

The buzz at Macworld is the new apple iPhone. Featuring touch screen, slick user interface, 802.11b/g/n, bluetooth, quadband the handheld looks very nice. Pitty it won't work in New Zealand any time soon. It's pricey at US$499 on a 2 year contract with Cingular Wireless - one of the US's largest telcos.

Most americans have a similar attitude to Cingular as New Zealanders do to Telecom. They were the monopoly until 12 years ago, and they've steadily worked their way back to near-monopoly status with a recent merger with AT&T.

The iPhone runs OS X, has gesture based controls (good for scrolling and scaling) and desktop quality applications. I can't wait to run Linux on it.

  • I can't wait to run Peerix on it ;-) --Nad 22:06, 9 Jan 2007 (NZST)
