OK, so The Mangle got it wrong. Apple didn’t release its new iPhone with an HD video camera. It turns out my Apple insider got confused with a prototype of the 2010 release model … Instead, we get the iPhone 3G S.
It’s gotta be said that for once, the hype and build up created by Apple completely outweighed the impact of the launch itself. We were all expecting something revolutionary – and all we got was a faster version of the previous model, with a few gymicky features.
It’s a bit faster, it’s got voice control, GPS and can play videos a bit better. Hardly ground-breaking stuff. Apple – you need to get a move on – or you will be overtaken by your competitors! The game changer is HD video. If you can get this out sooner than later, the market is yours for another 2-5 years.
