IPhone released in time, Thailand is the United States ants, dragon flight and flew to Thailand, he was listening to the broadcast on the iPhone, one that is 10 hours.
Ants, Tsinghua University, Long is currently in the PhD, he spent in the United States before learning career, before they boarded the plane, he had 10 hours to download via Podcast on the iPhone’s radio recording, all the way to hear Thailand. Ant Long made it clear that their next mobile phone will be the iPhone.
But for iPhone, like the availability of iPod’s success, ant dragon that can not, “Music and the Internet is different in the area of Apple’s player is successful, but this can not be copied to the field of telecommunications equipment.”
Long hold the same view with the ants, and there are well-known IT industry, research institutions Henry Yang, president of iResearch Consulting, “in mobile phones, it did not bring about revolutionary change.”
Shuffle telecom equipment market?
iPhone launch two weeks, has been flooded with all kinds of evaluating Web sites, mobile phone channel. For example, Netease will launch the “shortcomings summary”, the special break on the iPhone a “myth”, including that it can not send and receive MMS, you can not use 3G, you can not use MSN and other instant messaging software, not games.
When the iPhone, just to get Zhang also dust so every once in front of him said that the drawback of the iPhone, a symbolic apology to the iPhone, but after a lapse of a half, he also admits to reporters did not just get this phone when it marvel.
In fact, for the iPhone, the major manufacturers have been changing their strategies.
In the commercial aircraft field, iPhone’s biggest rival RIM’s BlackBerry phone (Blackberry) on the claim will be integrated into the phone as soon as MP3 player, camera, GPS and other functions, but only before the BlackBerry email and messaging services to the stability and confidentiality known.
RIM the company even announced in the July 5, will be available BlackBerry in China, officially listed at the end of August. The schedule may be higher than iPhone into China more than a year earlier.
iPhone to bring wave of smart phones, has attracted RIM, PALM, shares and other competitors. “Telecommunications equipment market than the original audio player market is much more competitive, iPhone is a subversive victory could not be achieved.” Ant Long considered.
Henry Yang believes that the current iPhone launch derivatives for Internet services, including share price, Mobile TV, search engines, although able to promote sales, but far from being an Internet service company can provide all, so Apple will not have the overwhelming advantage .
Also, because iPhone in the United States service to and AT & T exclusive bundling model, the business model and did not like the iPod did so without putting in “early, with a single carrier package may be able to help the iPhone improve their services, because their needs more complete data support, but the iPhone should still make their platform more open. “Henry Yang said.
However, Zhang also for dust, everything seems irreversible, “I just through the computer will be able to switch cell phone service providers, but also to upgrade the network services, everything is as simple as playing games.” Zhang also dust that is not to say AT & T control of the Apple, but Apple’s control of the AT & T.
