You Say iPhone, I Say Touchphone

By Branko Miletic | Thursday | 08/05/2008

Even though we all knew that smartphones were going to be winners, not many envisaged that as consumers, we would be literally bombarded with so many different variants of these increasingly ubiqitous devices.

Furthermore, this is not just a matter of choice- it is a matter of getting the proper functionality. And if price is not the main tipping point when as often it is not, looking at the latest two offerings makes one wonder whether we are being put into the position of choosing between two different variants of vanilla.

Take a look at the latest two smartphones that will be released in Australia within months- the Apple iPhone and the HTC Touch Diamond.
Both are portable, sleek, light, and assuming Apple goes with the 3G connection choice, are able to connect anywhere and download a tantalizing amount of data.

But wait there'res more. Both the iPhone and Touch Diamond are similar in size, weight and feel; they both have similar standby times and when it comes to talk times, although Apple quotes a figures of 8 hours and HTC 4 hours, but to be fair, Apple's figure quotes the iPhone being "on dock" or in other words, recharging.
