When Mr Eagle Eye purchased his iPhone on December 1st, 2007, he had some doubts as to whether the thing would still be considered decent at the end of it's 18-month contract. Today is the expiry date of said contract, and the thing is still working fine (guess the contract keeps rolling). More imporantly however, the iPhone, nearly two years since it's release, in the fiercly competitive and constantly improving market of mobile phones, is still considered the phone to beat. iPhone killer after iPhone killer has been thrown it's way, but none have managed to knock the sod from it's perch.
Below, Mr Eagle Eye can notice some important, but nevertheless expected developments:
The peck on the left shows what appears to be a recording feature (the absence of which was welcome ammunition for the iPhone's critics). In addition, the blue square denotes an area for touch-based focussing. But what good is focus when the camera is bird-shite anyway? Fear not, chicks in the nest! The new iPhone camera is reported to be 3.2Mp. Okay, so that is not great, but it's an improvement. Mr Eagle Eye still feels that the camera will be letting the phone down, like the last model.In addition to the improved camera, there is also a compass! With the Maps feature, Mr Eagle Eye finds it feather-flapping to fathom why one would need this feature, but, I guess it looks pretty cool.
Digging my inspective beak further into the juicy apple, Mr Eagle Eye has uncovered more features, including voice recording software, and MMS. Yes, MMS, it took them a while, but they finally got there.
Those who read this blog will know by now that Mr Eagle Eye loves to tear things to shreds in poisonous, unsympathetic tirades. But even Mr Eagle Eye has been satisfied with his iPhone, and will be getting the next one soon. Good job, Jobs!
