LG Show Up the new iPhone

Do we really need the iPhone? My answer is "No". The capital letter is there on purpose.

Check out Engadget's new article on the KE850 PRADA from LG. I like it, I like it a lot!!!

The iPhone isn't all 'dat

Nokia are not getting worried. That is the news from people in the know. In fact, I think that Nokia are laughing so loud now, the little blonde-haired PR girls aren't sure what is going on.

I put up the post on the new iPhone, mainly to get hits to the site. OK, I admitted it. Most bloggers have done the same thing. Even sites that normally show naked women and silly videos from the great WWW put up pictures and stories about the iPhone. Also, please not how many times I am typing iPhone so that Google knows I am talking about the iPhone.

But it seems that the iPhone is a joke. I would have told you that. The iPhone can do what my year-old phone can do. WOW!!! It has music. WOW, it has video. I am not impressed. The new Nokias have those and more. In fact, go back in the site, or click here if you are too lazy, and you will see that back in September last year, the N95 could do all of the cool things the iPhone pretends to do.

The only difference is that it's not an Apple. Will that be the selling point that Mr Jobs uses?

Even Bloomberg.com have a great piece that shows just how the iPhone sucks.

First, Apple is late to this party.

Next, the mobile-phone industry depends on cooperation with the big networks.

Lastly, the iPhone is a defensive product.

So there!!!! Don't say I didn't tell you so.

The new iPhone

It's just not right, while most of the World's Techno blogs and sites and journos are in LAs Vegas for CES, I sit here in Johannesburg and drool over the new toys.

It's also not right that we sad poor little South Africans will be lucky to see these things at all, let alone before the rest of the world.

The two biggest things over the last year were the maybe yes, maybe no launch of the Google Phone and the iPhone from Apple. The latter had finally made it into the real world and Gizmodo have the details.

Funny thing from them is why would Apple have a demo of a music phone without headphones? Also, haven't Nokia been doing this for 2 years already and all of the other phone makers? What makes Apple think that they can better something that is already out there?

Also, for us low lives that have no access to the iTunes store, why would I want to spend the dosh on a new iPhone?
