Antenna?
Pic text, sync, removable battery?
aka MMS. Especially for a device that is marketed in a media centric fashion (pictures, video, audio). Oh, and not to mention its been on the market over 2 years. Even in 2007 MMS was more or less a standard feature in a phone, especially higher end phones.
That has exactly nothing to do with Apple, so I don't know why it's relevant to a "new releases from Apple" thread.
people have a hard time understanding, but i guess its cool to slam the Iphone.
there were rumored pics of the touch with a camera. i guess nothing did come out of it.
My point is that this rumor seem creditable given the feature gap in the product lineup -
As long as its a carrier exclusive device, IMHO it doesn't matter who is responsible for restricting this capability, because it's the consumer/user who suffers.
Of course it matters. Apple has provided the functionality. AT&T has said they don't support it in their network.
i doubt youll see any other ipod/iphone announcement this year. they usually only have two major press conferences a year. one for the Iphone and the other for ipods and other new Mac products.
Look at it this way, owning a cell phone without service basically defeats the purpose of owning one. Same with paying for cell service and not owning a cell phone with which to use it. Essentially one is worthless without the other (at least for its primary intended functions as a communication device).
Even AT&T says they can't handle the extra traffic from iPhone users.
youd think that if it was a Apple issue, they would have said it was them from the get go
What I don't get, is that if AT&T is claiming that network capacity issues are the reason for the lack of MMS, then why have other data intensive apps - including streaming radio programs like pandora, which launched for the iPhone in July 2008 - been approved?
ATT said they are going right to 4g too after they tried everything else.
Verizon is already testing LTE (4G) - started last month. Seattle and Boston are the first trial markets later this year. Full deployment is expected early 2010 and full deployment is expected in 2013.
Why they're bothering to upgrade to anything thats not LTE is beyond me, just seems like a waste of money if they know they're going to wind up there anyways. Especially when a lot of other major carriers worldwide are going to implement it, as well as most major US carriers.
Last I checked, not everyone has smartphones, and hence, not everyone has email on their cell phone.
because there are faster networks out there that are faster than 4g and more better....or sp ATT thought. they of course have to be different and try something different.....but they came to their senses and realized most everyone in the US is going to be using 4g soon
All of the next gen networks are going to be 4G, but there's different implementations of it. The biggest debate is LTE vs WiMax, but so far LTE is in the lead.
FULL IMPLEMENTATION of 4G in 2013 on Verizon. That means nationwide, IE everywhere. Major metropolitan areas are going to start getting it next year. Its already being tested. From what I've heard AT&T doesn't plan to start testing LTE until 2011.
Will I need a tripod for my phone or do I just hold my phone up to my face really steady?
correct, but full roll out will be around the same time as verizons
