What's Missing From the iPhone<< Apple TV Implications | Main | Will Apple TV have issues as it's "only" 720p? >> Michael Gartenberg | January 09, 2007, 03:37 PM 1. It's not extensible by third parties, only Apple. The means at the moment no RSS readers, no Slingplayers. 2. There is no support for Microsoft Office attachments. 3. Not clear how well Exchange will work with calendar and contacts 4. No 3G support. (WiFi makes up for this in some ways.) Even with these issues, I still believe Apple is going to be force to reckoned with in this space. Update - While it is correct that the iPhone isn't an open platofrm, I don't agree with the idea that it's not a Smartphone. While the iPhone is only extendable by Apple, it is indeed a platform and new applications can be installed. Many carriers lock their smartphones as well and only allow "trusted" applications to be installed. |
