iPhone: A Dream Turns Reality

Recently, Apple CEO Steve Jobs introduced the faster and cheaper version of the Apple iPhone - The Apple iPhone 3G. Here are some screenshots:

But the best part is, the COST! In places like India, where the iPhone costs about Rs 30000/-, will now be much cheaper! Hurrah!

Yep! You saw it right! The iPhone is actually (drumroll) $199 only! Thats about Rs 8000/- ! Brilliant! And the iPhone 3G has some great features to boast about:

1) 3G or 3rd Generation (of course)

2) Bluetooth 2.0 (Faster data transfer rates)

3) Wi-fi (for broadband-speed wireless internet and maximum connectivity)

4) Cool looks

5) Awesome interface! (especially the photo resizing)

6) 8GB storage (The N95 offers the same space at almost triple the price with only a better camera)

7) 2 megapixel camera 1600 x 1200 resolution (a little disapoointing. At least a 3.2 megapixel camera should've been there)

Another thing about this great phone is that its makes a kind of status symbol. Like if you whip out an iPhone at a crowded restaurent or departmental store or any public place, you know that eyes will be on you and your phone.

But the new iPhone won't hit the markets until a month or two. However, many of the Indians are happy. Avinash Mukherjee, a 12th class student and a resident of Rohini, Delhi said, "I've waited for this moment for long. I knew such a time would come. My father promised me that he would get me a phone worth Rs 12000 or so, but i save about 8000 bucks and also increase my status in the eyes of my friends. Of course I'm a liitle disappointed that I have to wait for a couple of months to buy it, but hey, it's worth the wait"
