The Apple iPhone Craze


The Apple iPhone is the most anticipated phone of the year, and with 14 Million on backorder (mentioned by a Cingular retail owner), it is going to me the most sought after phone. AT&T/Cingular corporate store will be stocked on a limited basis in limited outlets to start at the end of the month. Media functionality, an impressive touchscreen display, and an appealing style have put the device on top of the charts. There are a few things that holds the device back in today's mobile market. Operating on a weak network brings speeds of its main functions like internet to a dial-up comparison. A lack of MMS, voice functions, and multi-step functions add to the list of the handheld that is may not meet expectations. Having WiFi helps overlook the network a bit, but the hysteria over the device may be a bit too much. Apple will make waves in the market with rich features and an integrated iPod.
