Not looking forward to anything in particular except something that comes with a real (i.e. tactile) keyboard that works on the best network (i.e. Verizon). Touchscreens are cool for about 5 minutes, and then it just becomes a pain in the ass.
No product is for everyone. I don't own an iPhone myself. Not because I don't want one, I just don't NEED one and I don't throw money away on anything but booze, cigars and hookers.
But clearly the iPhone IS for some people and a good few of them. Apple continues to excel at design and while the iPhone may
not be for the enterprise it certainly isn't one of the
biggest busts of the year. I think they should be given credit where it is due and it should be noted where they screw up. For me, the iPhone (as the iPod) meets the first condition.
I admit it, I'm an Apple fanboy and homer. I don't like Microsoft for the most part. However, unlike half the blogosphere, I don't believe that everything either company does is pure *feces*e. Apple screwed up 20 years ago and Microsoft did not. That's why they hold their respective positions. Microsoft has a massive edge in desktop computing. Apple has a massive edge in stuff you can pick up and put in your pocket. The iPhone is the most serious challenger to RIM after five months in the marketplace and that's with a product that isn't even targeted at the business consumer. It's a real challenge and all the FUD in the world doesn't change that.
