Is the 3G iPhone for you?

Posted by: Al In: Business| Technology| iPhone

Probably not, especially if you’re not a tech-head or willing to bounce around to difference screens to enable and/or disable difference services (e.g. 3G, GPS, WiFi, etc) to manage the battery life on a regular basis.

Who is the iPhone for?
Answer the following questions:

  • Do you use social services like Twitter, FriendFeed, Brightkite, etc.?
  • Do you like to quickly and easily send photos to an online photo sharing account such as Flickr?
  • Do you crave the freedom to check e-mail and surface the web at any time?
  • Do you want e-mail and webpages to be readable in the small form-factor of a phone?
  • Do you want a device that can install a plethora of mobile applications and games?
  • Does the idea of automated geotagging excite you?
  • Are you into technology or are you gadget freak?

If you answered “yes” to at least half of the above questions then the iPhone, either the original iPhone, the 3G version (again be aware of its hungry power consumption) or the iPod Touch are devices you should consider. The original (non-3G) iPhone is would the bes choice for the average consumer.

The iPhone is not just a phone, or just a smartphone. As ReadWriteWeb explains, it’s The New Personal Computer.
