iPhone Demographics

To figure out my target-audience properly, I’ve decided to find some data on the demographics of iPhone users/potential buyers.
Most of the info I have found is from a single source, the iPhone Buyers Analysis - a rather pretty single page PDF by a US market research group. Given that Apple are holding their own [...]

iPhone bills - 52 Pages worth

This was a rather interesting article found on Technorati.
Apparently, bills for iPhone customers are huge. Really huge. Amazingly huge… I think you get the idea. AT&T seem to think that listing every single data connection for your account is necessary. And on an account with unlimited data usage, there are a lot of connections!
The first [...]

Opera vs iPhone (the movie)

Opera are making a nice little jab at the iPhone in this video. It pretty much mirrors what a few of you have already said in your blog posts.

While I’m posting videos from YouTube, there is a review from the New York Times by noneother than the (more than slightly strange) David Pogue…

Will it Blend?

Now for a nice random video of an iPhone being blended (via YouTube)

iPhone - the Cons

I’ve already posted the pros of the iPhone (as I very quickly perceived them in relation to our project). But I have the feeling that this post may well end up being rather long as I update it over time to outline things the iPhone can’t do.
To get going:

You can’t install software natively on the [...]

iPhone - the Pros

For all the hype about the iPhone and it’s good and innovative features, it also has a bunch of features which are really pretty crap.
First up though, some of the cool features of the iPhone that I like:

Built in 802.11B/G wi-fi

Allows data to be pulled over a WLAN instead of over the more expensive [...]
