iDrool

iPhone

Apple announced the iPhone today. (via Engagdet)

My initial response is iDrool, iDrool, iDrool...

My second response is ... wait, only a 2 mega-pixel camera? Come on Apple, get a bigger mega-pixel camera... Nokia has 3 mega-pixles already released (i.e. Nokia N80) and the Koreans have 7-8 megapixels camera phones.

My third response is... but how will it moblog? Will it run Terminal or SSH? Can I add another browser, as I am not all to fond of Safari? What is its extensibility?

While the iPhone as displayed today is revolutionary for its gorgeous large screen on a small device and the finger touch pad screen UI, who wants to be locked into a two year Cingular contract with only 2 megapixels? Not me.

It would be lovely to have OS X natively running my mobile device for ease of use and transferring of files, but me, I am willing to purchase a pricey mobile device if the camera, UI, and data / internet features all add up to ease of blogging to this website directly from my phone.

Nokia, the gauntlet has been thrown down. I love your Karl Zeiss lenses, and multiple mega-pixel cameras, but the Nokia PC Suite and Lifeblog only interface with Windows OS. Nokia, it is time to come out and play with OS X* and keep up with the Jobs'.

*Free me from an iSync that does not interface with my Nokia N80.
