 With the recent announcement of the iPhone at Macworld 2007, many parties have emerged shooting down the upcoming phone with plenty of comments. One of them is Nokia's vice president of Nseries Computers, Pekka Pohjakallio and this is what he had to say in rebuttal of Apple's upcoming iPhone.
"I think it confirms our story," he says. "We have been preaching the
message of converged multimedia in one device, with lots of use cases
and a good experience for the whole life of Nseries. And now Apple have
come and said basically the same thing, even if they have implemented
some things differently."

"It just confirms our message, and it's good to have others preaching
the same message. The best company will win in the end, so I think it's
good news for us. It's not a threat, although of course it's hard
competition, but that usually makes you perform better yourself."
One key feature which is missing from the iPhone is that it lacks the support for 3G networks and with many telcos pushing for the emergence of a more dominated 3G market worldwide, is Apple selling itself short by not including in the technology?
Plenty of other people have voiced their concerns with the iPhone being a non open platform but there are disagreements to that as well. Another point was that it lacked Wi-Fi and will not be able to sync up to Apple's iTunes online store.
With all of this being brought up by consumers, we can only hope that Apple might pull a fast one on their critics and provide the market already saturated by hundreds of mobile phones, how much of an impact will iPhone be to the other players?
