I avoided the iPhone for a long time. In part out of principle (I’m not one to join the crowd), and AT&T crap network; but also because when I did try them in stores I just wasn’t that impressed.

Now that I have given you an overview of the past year it is only fitting that I share some of my cellular industry predictions for the coming year and beyond. I’m not an industry insider (I WISH!) and these are my own conjecture based upon my own views and info I have gleaned from the cellular phone blogs. This article will focus on the US but make some observations on worldwide issues as well.
I am so sick of the iPhone tools posting to blogs and places that the BB releases the same old thing every year.
Don’t make me laugh!
Blackberries have what 4 form factors now (open face QWERTY, flip, open face SureTouch, touch screen). iPhone has one. All three incarnations of the iPhone look exactly the same as the previous other than the back on the first one. In fact the only physical enhancements to the iPhone are the processor and video camera. Other than that they are all the same except for the software.
In addition to the form factor changes we have seen
1. Camera/no camera
2. Increasing camera quality (1.3, 2.0, 3.2 MP)
3. Zoom/No Zoom
3. Trackball or TrackPad
4. QWERTY or SureTouch keybaord
5. Physical keyboard/vurtual keyboard
6. SurePress/TruePress touch screen
Apple is the one re-releasing the same old thing every year.
