When People Want Something
I found this by reading this Wired article left in this comment (thanks danielle).
There are some interesting design ideas, but if Apple does produce a phone, I wonder how far they will push the basic and universal interface of the phone. Most cell phones dial numbers just fine. It’s the interoperability where most phones choke.
The other area that could be drastically improved ( by anybody, not just Apple) is by moving away from the existing push by networks to sell a user crappy ringtones, wallpapers and accessories at a premium.
I’m still not sold that Apple will announce a phone at Macworld. o
I was just thinking about this, oddly, the other day. I should have known others had already been thinking about it. I can see Apple doing some kind of creative revamping of the current providers' basic system, say, combining an online iTunes-type format with a classier pay-as-you-go phone. For some reason it just makes sense to me, what with the new Chocolate phone and all. I mean, you can get iPods in your Nikes. Why not talk on it, too? Share songs? I can see this happening.
