I phone, you phone, we phone for I phone... scream, I mean...

So, my favorite mac loving tech fetish co author has finally increased the mac-density in her flat another time. 'Tis a bit strange though, that this event went so far unreportet. Tss. "Hello Bryn! What is the matter?"

Little heavy monster this phone is, out in the wild - but no, I am not going to discuss the pros and cons. I refrain from adding more text to tha hype. Read my lips!

Interestingly enough, and the step in the right direction, is the announcement of the DK, so that in the light of the android offensive of google, apple tries to draw par by opening highliy motivated (grassroot?) development communities for new applications to give more steam on the market penetration; now even talking to china mobile for shipping to them.

Now, this is a nice little irony of globalisation, is it not? That finally apple after all the other western brands, tries to also get a foot into this massively awaking consumer market of the new established and better off ... communists? From the point of sustainability very sensible: Produce and consume locally ;-) But I am getting off the topic.

Open innovation is clearly an important paradigm for the next episode of the saturated and shaking mobile device and serivce market; and in the comming of the Google led "Android Offensive", yedimacites do the right thing to trust force of the willing; the emerging Clone wars against the Brotherhood of proprietary -, Symbian or Microsoft-OS will foster bloddy and costly battles for the customer's heart & minds.

But, this will not really last for long: As the pure power of these small incredible devices so faithfully repeats to verify Moore's law, virutalisation will enter this domain soon as well; or didn't you know, that the fastest Laptop to run Vista is a MacBook Pro?

No, I will not start punning about the licence schemes and prices of vista and compare them to the Leopard.

I am more amused about the fact that in Germany Vodafone is not a fair and sporty looser after all: First they wanted to have the exclusive rights. Then they did not want to give Steve Jobs the share of data profits accumulated through the phone, and T-Mobile was more than happy to jump in and pay the ?30%? (Update: rather around 10%, according to FTD.DE 21st of August). Now Vodafone sues TMO for having the exclusive rights, they themselves were not willing to pay for. Way to go. Grow up!
