i-phone or iPhone? Top oder Flop?
Snippet from N24 television on the launch of the iPhone in Germany. It's really disheartening how the press wants the iPhone to fail, pure sensationalism. Good tech journalists do not appear on TV otherwise they would not constantly misspell iPhone as in the caption above.
The coverage has been overly negative, the purported cons of the iPhone were exaggerated to the max, the main disadvantage being the missing 3G capability - no mention of battery life being drained by 3G chips in other phones (eg Nokia N95). Although the tarif at T-Mobile may be high, no other tarif in Germany offers a data flatrate at that price and the T-Mobile has over 8000 hotspots here which can all be used - for me in Berlin that's really quite enough. Apparently journalists do not seem to understand that WLAN is much faster than any spotted 3G connection will ever be, so what's their peeve?
