Here comes the iPhone, nice but expensive and not revolutionary

NEW YORK - Il nuovo iPhone 3G arriva in Italia (e nel mondo) venerdi' July 11, but at least three lucky U.S. experts have had the chance to 'try it for two weeks. They were satisfied, even if nobody speaks of revolution. Two of them even ask if it is worth moving to the second generation iPhone, the most 'expensive first saw the increase of subscriptions, and all in all not so' different. The most improved 'significantly, according to experts, and quality' audio, while the 3G system raises some concern ', mainly due to network problems in the U.S., where the system is' perhaps too recently. There 's also some problems related to batteries. David Pogue of The New York Times speaks of''news' about.'' The iPhone 2 and 'much more' fast (If you find the right network of AT & T) of his elder brother, but still costs about half 'is in fact more' expensive, 'cause tickets are more' expensive and last for a minimum of two years. The new mobile phone for the NYT, and 'very nice and works well, but still lacking a few things like the recorder, a camera and opportunity' to send MMS to other phones. Not convinced by the battery, which only Apple can 'change (on average after two years) at a cost of $ 86.
E 'exceptional, according to Pogue, the iPhone App Store, that' the online catalog of new programs, many of which are free. Among these iCall, which allow 'to call at no cost when you are' near ' di un router Wi-Fi senza fili. Walter Mossberg del Wall Street Journal e' piu' entusiasta di Pogue, essendo stato sedotto dalla velocita' della rete 3G, ma rimane perplesso sui ''costi nascosti'' dell'iPhone. L'iPhone, per Mossberg, ''sostanzialmente mantiene le sue promesse'', ed e' molto piu' veloce sia per navigare su web sia per gestire la posta elettronica. Ma nelle sue conclusioni, il 'guru' informatico del Wsj lo consiglia solo ''se potete accettare i costi piu' elevati di servizio e la durata di vita inferiore della batteria''. E non e' detto che valga la pena se gia' si possiede l'iPhone di prima generazione, di cui bastera' aggiornare il software per usufruire della maggior parte dei nuovi servizi. Pochi dubbi, infine Edward Baig of USA Today:''It 's almost perfect .. It 'worth the wait ... AND 'cheaper,' faster and more 'easy to use''of his predecessor. (ANSA)
