iPhone Hands-on Video, Smartphone Round Robin
This is the last week where each of us looks at another smartphone platform for the Smartphone Round Robin and I get to end with the Apple iPhone. I stood in line with my two oldest daughters and camped out overnight for the first iPhone back in 2007 and still remember my shock and awe when I turned on that first iPhone. I had been using smartphones for years and I couldn’t believe the experience that Apple came out with on their first attempt. Everything flew around with simple touch and the whole experience was engaging and so much better than anything I had seen before. The next year when Apple launched 3rd party application support and a 3G model the iPhone popularity really took off and hasn’t stopped since. Other platforms like webOS and Android are pretty hot right now too and others are showing that Apple cannot rest on the success they had the first couple of years. I have an iPhone 3GS right now and have to admit I keep going back to it from time to time because the applications are so awesome.
To get this week with the iPhone kicked off I started a discussion over at The iPhone Blog to hear what Apple iPhone fans have to say and discover what they think as we move into a very exciting 2010 as smartphones gain in popularity.
You will also find a blog post here from Kevin Michaluk of CrackBerry.com seeking your input on S60 and Maemo. I had a great time talking with Kevin about our Nokia platforms since he was so unfamiliar with them and it is always fun to teach people about the devices you are passionate about. Remember that by participating in the discussion you will be entered into the drawing for your own Nokia smartphone (model to be determined) at the end of the Smartphone Round Robin event. Please read the contest details for more information.
Check out a video after the break of me using the iPhone 3GS while talking to Rene Ritchie about them and the iPhone platform. My review of the iPhone platform, with thoughts on the iPhone 3GS, will be posted here on Friday or Saturday so stay tuned and please visit the other Smartphone Experts sites to participate in the discussions of all platforms.
