Musings from the High Castle

I called it:

I think the iPhone will have some new eye candy, aGPS, increased storage and a new form factor (with a better headphone jack) - and that's it.

Better support for Enterprise too, although this may not appeal to big enterprises, only Small and Medium businesses. If Apple create their own version of MS's ScumDum, then they'll corner the smartphone market. Till then, they won't make a dent for large enterprises. RIM and MSFT will continue to dominate. I could talk at length how big business IT departments deploy their smartphone now-a-days, and how paranoid they are about security on their devices and how both RIM and MSFT make it easy for them to deploy smartphones, but that's quite a boring and lengthy post. Suffice it to say, RIM and MSFT make it easy and cheap. Apple can't compete there. So, in the "Enterprise" space, they'll chip around the edges at the SMB market and hope to make inroads into Enterprise that way.

Till then, the iPhone will still be a sexy prosumer device. I'm still going to get one on July 11th (UK release date)
