Its 3 years since we saw the first glimpse of the Apple smartphone that has over the past 2.5 yrs changed the face of the mobile industry. The iPhone in no time has managed to top the charts and become one of the biggest money churners for Apple. This is to such an extent that iPhone now makes more money for Apple than what Nokia the biggest manufacturer of cellphones in the world earns.
So its natural for us to compare any new product with the iPhone. Is that a right approach? While I still believe that comparing phones of different form factors is not exactly the right thing to do, the fact remains that the innovation on the iPhone is not just about the form but lot more. The UI, multi touch support since inception, amazing web integration and the App Store to name a few. These things are independent of the form factor and I won’t be surprised if we shall see something which is not a full touchscreen (sans keyboard) like the iPhone succeed beyond the heights that Apple has touched in this market.
One thing that makes me love the Palm Pre is the amazing integration of a QWERTY and a full touch screen. Given quick OS updates and innovation that Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein promises, I am happy if its true that he has never ever used an iPhone. Yes thats true, Jon claimed that he hasn’t ever used an iPhone. More here
