Will the iPhone do everything by 2013?
Many folks spend a lot time wondering when the next iPhone will arrive and what new features it will have. Call it the cult of iPhone, cult of Apple, or just good old tech fetishism, but whatever it is, it's always fun when someone pokes a little fun at the whole Apple hype machine with a little spoof. In this case, it's a YouTube video called iPhone Everything by Canadian filmmakers the Purchase Brothers. We came across it when we were checking out their cool Half-Life inspired Escape From City 17 video.
The whole concept revolves around the myriad features the iPhone has and how someday it will basically be able to do everything under the sun. Of course, the spoof takes things to the extreme, but it got us thinking, what will the iPhone really be able to do in the future--let's say four years from now, in the year 2013?
If you believe in Mayan prophecies, the world will come to an end in 2012, and you don't have to worry about what will happen in 2013. However, if you do think we'll be around, what do you think the iPhone will be able to do?
P.S. Here's a link to one of our other favorite Apple ad spoofs: The Apple iProduct.
Hunkered down in New York City, Executive Editor David Carnoy covers the gamut of gadgets and writes his Fully Equipped column, which carries the tag line "The electronics you lust for." He's also the author of "Knife Music," a novel. E-mail David. Follow David on Twitter. 
Will anyone be able to create programs on it and distribute them however they want? No.
Don't put yourself in chains, open your possibilities up with windows.
good luck with that full internet thing. how is that flash working out for you? with my windows-mobile phone, i can have flash with sky-fire. my phone is also rather snappy and doesn't have the unreliability of safari.
try seeing css animations in your ie. I have used windows mobile on a phone that was more powerful than the iphone and it was not nearly as snappy as the iphone. it had a 500 mhz arm cortex processor. Still costs $100 more than the iphone after subsidies. After you use the iphone you cant say that windows mobile is snappy.
How does this

You can also view flash movies with the icinema mobile jailbreak app on the iphone.
And you can install any web brower on windows phones, while with an iphone, your stuck with your flash-free browser.
1st of all the dash was n is garbage and 2. that was not really a FULL windows mobile phone.... i have the sprint htc touch pro and it rapes the iphone. it has all the features iphone has n more. also can see the internet the exactly how u do in IE...oh i can copy n paste, youtube, flash, javascript, stream, muiltask back2back, download cracked programs for FREE, record, internet way faster then att3g..... much much more n my battery wont die in 1hour .... at only 70 buckaruzzz a month W0W!...
if you really want Copy/paste so much
just jaibreak it and install Clippy
or get iblueanget from the app store it's a web browser with copy and paste
or just get another phone the Iphone isn't for you !
BTW the Iphone was never about features it was about implementation
So it's a choice we all have, people should just buy wat they need
and stop this endless Iphone Bashing!
Yep, theres something in this flaming for everyone.
Apple wants to try to make that illegal. It's just crazy. Every update Apple makes, they try to stop the jailbreakers. Sure there's people that make a new jailbroken version a few days later, but this shouldn't be necessary.
Google and RIM will have done (and taken for granted) the things Apple should have put on their product last year.
look at euro and asian phones, they do many more things than an iphone like video calling (well US is yet to have that)
if a phone can do everything, it will most likely be outside the U.S.
its fun, hell u can make those net po** things one it and make lots of cash with video calling
all jokes aside, its useful for families that wants to see each other, and dont forget it actually helps locating the other guy by having the camera pan around the surronding so u know where he/she is...
only problem now, is the pricing if it gets cheap enough id use it
That what I thought. So why cant I just use mms. Since hardly any phones support video chat. I dont think any carriers in the us even support it. Well, videochat would seem more of a problem to me than a benefit.
but the touch pro was rated as one of the worst phones
in a recent customer survey,while the iphone was rated highly !
So that goes to show that those things r not wat people want

Showing 1 of 2 pages (54 Comments)and now with the 3g ,the app store was introduced ,
So now it can install 3rd party apps that allow more functionality
SO
When exactly was the Iphone touted as a phone that can do everything ?
it's all about making it easy for people to use these features !
all the things possible on the Iphone could be done on WinMo devices years back
but nobody bothered with them cause the implementation sucked.
and now everyone is copying the Iphone ! why do you think ?
if the Iphone is inferior why do others want to copy it in everyway possible ?
The Iphone is all about implementation not features !
So if features r wat yr looking for there's a 100 other phones for you
Why ***** about the IPhone ? you have a choice !
