3G iPhone announced
Steve, calling it the phone that changed phones, praised the iPhone’s 90% customer satisfaction and 98% mobile browsing and overall greatness. What could come next? Steve talks about them running out of iPhones, and their next mountain to climb. It’s a big mystery...and it is 3G. The iPhone in more countries. Steve acknowledges that they are in use in many more countries than the six they sell them in. Lastly, the iPhone needs to be more affordable. I’m just giddy.
Today, they introduce iPhone 3G, thinner, tapered, with a black plastic back, solid metal buttons, same gorgeous 3.5” display, a flush headphone jack, dramatically improved audio, and 3G. It looks like the mockups we’ve been seeing.
Steve says the 3G increased browser speeds. 21 seconds on 3G, and after a long long wait and some whistling, 59 seconds on EDGE. 3G is 2.8 times faster. iPhone 3G is 36% faster than the Nokia 3G phone.
Mac OS X closing in on Vista in businesses
2007 was a great year for Apple in the business world. The 2007 market share results for Mac OS X showed that in businesses, Mac OS X usage tripled to 4.2%, just over 2% lower than Vista, at 6.3%.
Windows XP declined during the same period, and it seems a shame that Apple doesn’t capitalize on the Windows Vista fiasco. Joe Wilcox at Apple Watch notes that Apple’s business advertising is totally non-existent. And Apple has a lot working against them. Windows PCs have long been the “Business Machine.” Most people assume that integrating Macs into the workplace will cause nightmares with compatibility, and there will have to be separate networks for Macs and PCs. The list goes on and on. It’s hard to imagine how Apple could extend it’s hip branding to business enterprise solutions, but they can think of something, and it’s a shame not to see them capitalizing.
