The iPhone has made its debut and it seems that it is either loved or hated. The deal with AT&T hasn’t won over any users. The bugs and problems from set up to finish haven’t endeared it to any one’s heart. Still, it is the most exciting thing to hit the cell phone industry since the mass production of cell phones began.
Now the use of Skype on the iPhone is suppose to be the next great thing. Since the iPhone was locked to using anything but AT&T services, I’m sure that there are hundreds of people thrilled to use the internet software. The downfall is that the users will STILL have to pay for the AT&T service or else be forced to shell out hefty early cancellation fees to get out of the two year contracts.
Even then, I wonder how convenient the Skype services will be. The coverage is not what the cell coverage is by any means. Still, it could be a good choice for those users with easy access to WiFi connections.
For the cost of the iPhone, you would think that Apple would be going out of its way to make the phone the most useful, assessable, user friendly phone in the history of the world. Then again, maybe it thinks it has already accomplished this feat.
