In Fring brings Skype to the iPhone
Having had a go on one of these iPhones I must say I was very unimpressed. It has been overhyped like most Apple products. I found it to be no better than the average mobile. It had some 'toys' that I am sure would attract some muppets, but on the whole, its a peice of obsolete hardware before it hit the shelves (honestly, 2g - just as 4g is approaching?). I am less than surprised that there are so many blinded Apple followers out there, they seem to still think Apple is cool. Sorry chaps, thats so 1980's, Apple has not been cool for a long long time.
When I bought my iBook I knew what I was getting - a peice of obsolete hardware that didn't run Windows and allowed me to easily do the tasks I wanted from it (manage text based equipment). I was under no illusion that it was anywhere near cutting edge or useful for anything power hungry, or even much at all to be honest. The same goes for the iPhone, except I dont think buying a phone because it has ONE good point (its UI) is a top plan, thus I dont have one and wont ever buy a locked phone. Especially relevant these days when you have these superb no-ties 30day contracts - at last the providers are learnign what we want!!
