I’m a bit late on this one, but there are some great reads as ever. One article of interest to iPhoneistas should be Igor Faletski’s post about the 3G lifestyle. He writes about how his new iPhone is essentially a digital multimedia portal, and that in hours of usage, he hadn’t made a single telephone call.
The level of non-telephone use will come as no surprise to people toting other HSDPA-tastic devices. But, what really comes through in his writing is the seamless nature of the connectivity, coupled with ease of use of the device.
Also, Krisse at All About Symbian has the Post of the Week with “Have you seen what budget phones can do now?“. For all the hype with the iPhone 3G, some budget handsets outstrip it in pure hardware terms, and the software features are often very impressive. Apple will need to keep up the pace of iPhone development, lest it be overwhelmed by a tidal wave of feature rich “budget” smartphones.
