The keynote of iPhone at MacWorld was a mistake of Apple’s indeed, in return it caused the over expectation by customers. Customers expected that iPhone was having much greater features than any other smartphones, in fact it has less than what the smartphones have. When customers expect more and don’t get it, they become dissatisfied. Mike Elgan at Computerworld has six reasons of why the iPhone keynote was a mistake!
What doesn’t iPhone do? Unlike most smart phones, the iPhone doesn’t have voice dialing, voice memos, 3G Internet access, Word or Excel support, one-handed operation or video recording. It can’t be used as a laptop modem. The battery can’t be replaced. It doesn’t support removable storage. The calendar, task list and e-mail won’t sync with Microsoft Outlook.
Besides, the focus on the iPhone during the keynote also took away from the Apple TV announcement, put iPod sales at risk, gave competitors a head start, and ruined the company’s talks with Cisco over the iPhone name.
Lets keep an eye on the performance of iPhone!
