With the promotion of the Iphone 3G back in February 2008, the hype and expectation surrounding Apple's newest edition of the Iphone has taken things to another height in the mobile phone industry. One would think that with the Iphone 3G beating the market earlier this year, that the hype would have died down somewhat. Well, it hasn't and many do not anticipate that it will - at least for the remainder of the year.
Well, for one thing, the Iphone 3G is faster, slimmer and has a larger capacity with the introduction of the 16mb version than its predecessor. It has many more applications and any bugs that may have been present in the earlier model have pretty much been ironed out. There is also talk that Apple might allow programmers to view the source code, if you will, of the Iphone 3G to allow for more application development which would open up a whole new world with respect to the mobile phone market.
There is already a massive aftermarket dedicated to the Iphone 3G that will prolong to grow. This includes ring tones, video downloads, media apps and more. The Iphone 3G may eventually lead many to drop their home phone service altogether...well, maybe not now.
In a nutshell, the Iphone 3G has, in fact, changed the way we view and use our mobile phones. Gone are the days when this type of hype would have been localized and the rest of the world would not be privy to it. The Iphone 3G is a global heavy hitter and is here to stay. This is what technology could do and able to make things to make life easy.
