Smart idea and fun to look at spec ideas on what the iPhone will/could look like .
I still hope they stay away. Just bad Karma all over this industry. No good customer service or feelings can come out of this. Hope I am wrong though.
Here are my two favorites:
Thanks to Trader Mike for the link.
One thing no one is talking about yet is the MASSIVE disruption that this phone will have on the ringtones market (if Apple is smart, which they always are now).
“Buy a ringtone for $2.50″…..OR….”assign an iTunes song to this caller”
Tough choice :)
That’s not my picture above, it’s my main man Nick’s….I guess it goes by domain?
Note to bloglog, fix that when you fix your name :)
Nice buddy – i will email eric as we are using him for wallstrip
the ringtone market is something i keep forgetting about. You are right. apple is so misunderstood still
Also, I disagree with this:
“I still hope they stay away. Just bad Karma all over this industry. No good customer service or feelings can come out of this. Hope I am wrong though.”
I’d agree if they were going to get into the business as a provider. If they are smart, they’ll just sell the phone and make a model compatible with your choice of service provider.
Just like Blackberry, which is loved as verizon is hated.
Of course, some losers still buy MOT Q’s, but what are ya gonna do?
Andy, maybe? Part of the trick with ringtones is you need small chunks of songs rather than entire ones, and the makers do that work for you.
Then again I already make my own and us nerds trade them around, as do the kids in england (reference: adult-unhearable ringtone.)
Candice,
Remember, iTunes already selects best 30 seconds of song for preview before you buy ;)
Andy – more good points but I own the stock so its a win for me anyways and the bl;ackberry correlattion is dead on – thx
the mnotorola q is just below the belt – please send back my phone you prick :)
i sent an email to eric at my blog log with your concernn – good point
Buying music, online? The target ringtone market? They’re bittorrent fiends. ;)
Eric hasn’t shown up yet, he’s slacking. Usually if you talk about them they appear quickly. ;)
