Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / ATT Wireless / June 2008New $700 32GB 3G iPhone
- Lighter weight - Black + other colors - Focus on Multimedia with Video recording - Video Conferencing - GPS - 32GB $699 - 22 percent thinner - better battery life - new type battery - 16GB $499 There may be a low end $200 iPhone introduced alongside the (normally priced) 3G-capable iPhones. Better battery life ? Why so ? We all know the org battery was awesome. NOT! New type of battery ? And what's newer then Li-ion ? Must be the Apple battery. Better then all the rest. Yep, that's it. >- Lighter weight > - Black + other colors [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > There may be a low end $200 iPhone introduced alongside the (normally > priced) 3G-capable iPhones.

It also would tend to explain the rather high price for the new models. What ever it is Apple will probably use cutting edge technology. They lead, all the rest try to follow. > On Jun 2, 7:07 pm, "Kevin Weaver" <kevinkeithwea...@sbcglobal.net> > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > - Show quoted text - Woa I just found out there will be a function to watch TV with your iPhone in the new 3G - source Apple employee. 4phun <vic.healey@gmail.com> wrote in news:7e17b8cf-63fb-48a6-89fb- 6c96a73e8742@y38g2000hsy.googlegroups.com: > I just found out there will be a function to watch TV with your iPhone > in the new 3G - source Apple employee.

I have big news....ATT TV isn't data downloaded to a player. It's the new 700 Mhz digital TV like Verizon has running for the Voyager, on a whole other system requiring a whole other receiver.....which I doubt will fit in the smaller, EVER-THINNER, iPhones..... Nope....it's gonna be another "data player", I suspect, maybe an ORB 2 copycat app like I'm running to the tablet. Anyone can use ORB 2, not just iPhone. Your PC is a server, receiving TV off a TV card or serving up video clips to whole movies....converting them to something the handheld or laptop can stream like RealVideo or Windows Media or Quicktime....and streaming it on-the-fly. All the mobile needs is a browser that can play a stream. I use RealMedia to the tablet. This is all old hat, now, not some new thing Apple just invented special for the Iphone2. Being as this is all about SELLphones and CARRIERS, particularly ATT, in partial control. One bets this is about CLIPS, like the rest, not about streaming Live TV 24/7 and SUCKING UP SCADS OF BANDWIDTH.......NOT.

(GASP!) SEVEN......HUNDRED......DOLLARS??!!!! To quote George Carlin - "HOLY SH*T!" Then I gotta BUY software from some crooks through Apple?!! An iPhoney and a few "approved apps" is a THOUSAND DOLLARS...EASY!! They must be outa their heads......or smokin' somethin'!! Wait a week....it'll be half that and everyone will think its WONDERFUL....an old pricing ploy that worked for Detroit Auto manufacturers...until recently. ....where's my nitro pills! where's my nitro pills! (gasp) Palm and Research In Motion have nothing to worry about....except to crank up production.... $700! For a 3G system that's, mostly, VAPORWARE. > - 32GB $699 And true to AAPL form, $399 after 90 days -- amid screams and wailing by bleeding edge early adopter fashionistas. >> - 32GB $699 > > And true to AAPL form, $399 after 90 days -- amid screams and wailing by > bleeding edge early adopter fashionistas. Well at least to $499. How is Apple going to deal with that bit of history on the iPhone? Almost certainly they will change their pricing model back to a more traditional model of carrier subsidies, which will both lower the initial outlay and discourage the rampant unlocking of the old model. A $700 32GB iPhone that sells for a subsidized $500, and includes features like a full vehicular GPS system wouldn't be too bad. Apple could justify it, as they often do, by adding up the cost of the individual pieces: MP3: $100 GPS: $150 World Phone: $50 PDA: $200 --------- Total: $500 These are at the low end of prices for each device. If they compared it to high end devices: MP3: $200 GPS: $350 World Phone: $150 PDA: $300 --------- Total: $900 I haven't been an iPhone fan for the first model, it was just too de-featured, but if you don't need full PDA functionality, a $500, 32GB jailbroken 3G iPhone would be a pretty nice device for non-business travel. >>> - 32GB $699 >> [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > de-featured, but if you don't need full PDA functionality, a $500, 32GB > jailbroken 3G iPhone would be a pretty nice device for non-business travel. But since you already have a fully-featured device for business travel, why bother carrying around supplementary iTrash? > But since you already have a fully-featured device for business travel, > why bother carrying around supplementary iTrash? It's rather a hassle to lug around a notebook PC on vacation, when all you want is basic web access, and don't have to create presentations, write reports, etc. The GPS on the notebook is rather klunky as well. Then you still need a phone, and an MP3 player is nice to have while traveling. What I'd like (based on Phone Scoop searching): * Quad Band * Bluetooth * Calculator * Calendar * GPS / Location * Integrated PDA * Memory Card Slot * Music Player * Packet Data (HSDPA 1.8 or HSDPA 3.6) * Speaker Phone * Vibrate * Voice Dialing * Voice Memo * WAP / Web Browser * Wi-Fi At this point in time, the only available phone with these features is the HTC Tilt. The new 3G iPhone will probably be pretty close, other than the memory card slot. The PDA functions will come eventually. >> But since you already have a fully-featured device for business >> travel, why bother carrying around supplementary iTrash?

HP iPaq PocketPC Phone has had most of that for years. >>> But since you already have a fully-featured device for business >>> travel, why bother carrying around supplementary iTrash?

With more and more of the municipal wireless networks going dark, it's going to be more necessary to have 3G service. >>>> But since you already have a fully-featured device for business >>>> travel, why bother carrying around supplementary iTrash?

We see the cablecos splicing and hanging hotspots on their aerial lines. |
