** Update ** iPhone coming to India officially soon.
No, not Space Invaders, but the iPhone Keynote is flooding my email inbox. I have subscribed to newletters & RSS Feeds for Mac, tech & design related news. Since the past 24 hours, I am being bombarded with discussions on iPhone.
No I am not complaining, just overwhelmed at the amount of threads being generated.
Here’s the run down from MacWorld on Steve Jobs’s Keynote speech which was dominated by iPhone.

A few facts, which I would want to read or point out to people in a couple of days 🙂
These are from & during the Steve Jobs’s Keynote speech at 2007 Macworld Expo:
- 50% of Macs sold in the USA are to first time Mac buyers.
- The iPod Nano is the most popular MP3 player till date.
- iTunes sells 5 million songs a day !!!
- The iTunes Store has sold 50 million TV shows !
- Apple has sold more than 2 billion songs on its iTunes Store to date.
- iPhone price: $499 for a 4GB model with a two year contract & a 8GB model for $599
My take:
- Since the iPhone runs Mac OS X, I can see in the future, people switching from Vista to Mac OS X, to integrate all their mobile & laptop files.
- In other countries, will telecom carriers start partnering with Cingular?
- I can already see several domain names with ‘iPhone’ in it.
- I guess iPhone will be in the news throught 2007, so we shall be seeing lots of junk mail related to iPhone.
- At the end of the day, basic commuication [mobile] is more important than music [iPod]. So, on that basis, will iPhone eclipse iPod?
So, this domain name was worth it !!
