hmm, I like iPhone 4, Of course, quite a few people have had alot of problems with the Iphone 4, but it does have its positives. Like said, it has longer battery lif and i also love the design of it. Its resolution astounded me for some reason.
As iPhone 4′s Retina display, it’s pixel density is so high, your eye is unable to distinguish individual pixels. And the remarkable 960×640 resolution screen of iPhone 4 will make your movie watching experience unbelievably sharp and crisp. Now Im enjoyable with the iPhones and video converter from ifunia, really amazing.
So that obvious iphone most desired.
I’d say the biggest hurdle for the iPhone in the United States is the limitations that AT&T has put on it. Specifically:
1) AT&T does not offer unlimited bandwidth (something Verizon users get with the Android). With apps like Pandora you can easily start using up all your monthly bandwidth.
2) Tethering – AT&T only offers this if you pay an extra $20/month. This is something that comes for free with Verizon. Verizon is also starting to promote the tethering feature in their commercials.
Although I think the iPhone is a great device I believe that the limitations placed on it through AT&T have a very strong effect on future user adoption.
