The iPhone 3G. Yeah its cool and all

But it is very far from being revolutionary.  I mean a 2MP digital camera, 2007 called and it wants it crappy cellphone cameras back. No exchangeable battery, No movie mode. I mean…. Well here, let me tell you a story, this will help sum up my point, It’s 2007 and I’m working at BestBuy in the wireless department. A man from somewhere in Japan comes in and starts looking at products in my section and I go to see if he has any questions. As I walk up to him I see that he has his cell phone out. He is using the camera in his phone as a bar code reader and is getting real time price quotes from multiple sources on the internet. It just blew me away.  The iPhone is ahead of most US tech but this article from Asiajin.com helps you compare the iPhone to Japanese phones to compare and contrast features and the like. I guess I’m used to Apple being a little bit more innovative. Features like the App store and mobileme do lend a helping hand in keeping me impressed though.

P.S. Don’ take this article the wrong way. I am definitely getting one. Cause it is still a 3G iPhone and it rocks.
