Apple has tried to do it again... enhance its own product lines while reinventing consumer electronics. iPhone... got some raving reviews.

As News.com states
"Apple's iPhone is essentially a widescreen video iPod that makes phone calls and can browse the Web, and the company plans to ship it in June for Cingular's cellular network."

It is supposed to be the convergence of computing and communications.. like a palm-top + phone

It does seem nice, but it has some self-imposed restrictions.. some of the questions that dog the iPhone are:
* Why is it not currently compatible with the faster 3G wireless data networks that are driving cellular revenues to sharp gains in the United States?
* Why the closed appliance-style design that restricts the potential for third-party software developers to write applications for the new handset, like ring tones and word processors.
* Why use the Cingular's EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution) network? That will get one online at around 75Kbps to 135Kbps, not much faster than dial-up.

I guess Apple would also block the use of VOIP services like skype that conflict with Cingular's.

Instead of paying the $400-500 price premium, I would wait for others to come up with these enhancements.

The Answer:
WebYantra!

WebYantra is a tech blog while the others are the names of technology companies.
I guess we should get used to such names in this age...


Have you heard of Proto.in?
Well, it is a technology roadshow.. that showcases new products, technologies, companies to a select gathering. It is being promoted as the meeting ground for VCs and tech startups and is happening in Chennai, 20-21 Jan.
