As much as everyone seems to be raving about the recent unveiling of the iPhone, there will inevitably be haters, analysts, and critics for it (as with every new product released in the market). We've given you a rundown of different analyses about how the iPhone will fare in the mobile market and because we here in QJ believe in democracy, we'll let this guy give his piece on the iPhone's future.
Fellas, meet John Dvorak, a Marketwatch Technology columnist who gives his opinion on the whole iPhone mania on his CNBC stint. He says that the features of the iPhone goes against the trend that the mobile market is currently seeing, which is why he apparently doesn't see what the fuss is all about. Dvorak also said that while some people think that Apple is an all-powerful and successful company (what with the moolah they constantly rake in), he believes that "Apple can do wrong and this is it [iPhone]." But before the claws come out on Dvorak, let's try to keep in mind that this is just his opinion and that everyone's entitled to one, right? So anyhoo, just check out the vid below and hear for yourself what Dvorak has to say about the iPhone. (Kudos to getamac for posting this!) |

for one, i'm a die hard microsoft fan. i love the zune, windows. and everything that comes with the PC market. and i hate the iPod and i hate macs.
But even with that, i do like this phone. And i dont think it's going to end up being as bad as the video makes it seem. Yes it's going to have a VERY rough year. But it's not going to fail right off the bat. The iPod's are still over priced and have an immense lack of features compared to the competition, but people still buy them cause most of the consumers are stupid and just buy what looks cool without looking at the features or the competition.
And with the iPhone it's going to be the same thing. Businessmen wont buy it, and a lot of tech savvy people wont buy it because we know that it's way to expensive for the lack of features it has, and we'll wait for the iPhone2 (or NANO cause this thing is huge)
This is a great phone, it has a lot of nice inventions in it. But it's missing a lot. and with LG making a phone just like this, Apple has a lot of work to do to take the whole market away like they think they will. And just from asking around my area many people say they would rather just have someone like a RAZR instead of this.
But people will buy it. Look at the T-Mobile Sidekick, crappy phone and yet everyone buys it for 400 bucks when it first comes out. And it will be the same with this. all the rich apple fanboys will buy it and all the consumers who dont think before they spend will buy it.
And before anyone decides t flame me for this. go look at the rest of my iPhone comments. i think this is a great device. it just has it's flaws like anything else. but flaws on a $600 phone who's maker says it will change the world are pretty big.

» iPhone is crap, period.
I agree with Dvarok. It's expensive, it looks okay. Lack of features, exclusive to cingular, and as long as there are techy who tries to spread the bad points about the iPhone across the internet and by the word of the mouth, it's not going to be a big hit. Apple is entering a terroritory dominated by other phones unlike the iPod. The iPod enter the mp3 market when it was still starting off new.

Regardless to what anyone says, Dvorak is a *****ing idiot. They should amend the constitution to shut him up or drop him into a country that has no rights for old women.

» but true
i like macs and all, but its scary to see these apple-nazis blindly stand up for something that clearly isn't impressive and probably won't do very well
being the consumer, you're supposed to be critical towards products marketed to you, not go the other way in the deep end sounding like they shoved a wad of bills up your arse
this iphone just looks like another pda-phone to me, i don't know a lot about its features and details(from what i've seen this iphone is missing a couple of key features that defines new-gen phones), its apple's first phone(i'm guessing) and i don't really have the incentive to go look up battery life, features, etc...

» the only thing it needs to succeed is a lower price
I think this phone is cool, it may not have the greatest features or lowest price, but I think that if Apple can lower its price a hundred bucks it will do fine and will be the cingular version of T-Mobile's side-kick.
As for this Dvorak guy, he says that people like the keypads on there phnes? WTF? If I could have a touch screen qwerty keyboard over a blackberry with their tiny buttons, I would take the touch screen any day.

I disagree with him, even though personally I wouldn't buy it because I don't need a phone. First people do want a phone that can do a lot of things like the iPhone does because you can carry one thing instead of a bag full. Second people want keypads instead of a touch screen? Wtf is the difference? Instead of pressing an actual button you're pressing an image that looks like a button. Third I don't see why people are going nuts over the price. A phone that can do half the stuff the iPhone can do can be easily priced at 450$. Hell for what the iPhone can do its a bargain. Also prices will go down in time, the first iPods cost a fortune compared to today.
