One piece of gadgetry that really caught my interest is none other the iPhone. I'm not a big Apple fan, but I do love a well designed piece of equipment that makes the user feel great. Pound for pound, according to my geeky friend, iPhone loses out to its competitors like Samsung's Omnia or the HTC Diamond. The camera has less megapixels, screen resolution, the size is bigger, it's heavier, there are a lot more applications for the Windows Mobile platform, content is more varied, and so on and so forth.
However, the thing that really stood out for me is the fact that, the iPhone is simply much more sexy. I've tried to navigate around the menus of the Omnia and the Diamond, but they are just uninspiring. Those 2 that I've mentioned have great looking industrial designs, but it's ruined by the Windows Mobile-based interface. In addition, the accelerometer and true multi-touch interface will inspire plenty of creative applications and of course, they will be available easily via the iPhone application store. And, web browsing is the best I've ever experience on a mobile phone. It's sexy, and it's intuitive.Now, the thing is to actually own one of these sexy beasts. Being techmiser, I'll wait for prices to go down even further.
