iPhone 4 released – a cool videophone

Apple did it again. I admit even as jaded as I have grown towards technology when I saw Steve Jobs make that Facetime call yesterday I was kinda blown away. I’ve been involved in piecing together old systems with new applications and well when Steve Jobs and Apple make a new thing it. Well it just works. I’m sure the 500+ WiFi base units in the room had a lot to do with the technical difficulties but

When it got up and running I was taken back to my childhood when this was the stuff of cartoons and fantasy. Now it’s something I can go to the Apple store on June 24th and drop a few hundred bucks and then I’ll have a videophone too. Granted I’ll only be able to talk to other iPhone 4 owners who are in a wifi access area but I know a few folks who are conquering the whole AT&T network difficulties by using the Verizon Myfi and connecting to that AP for browsing when the AT&T is slow.

Now that we have 4G from Sprint mobile access points I’m sure that the videophone calls will be possible on the move sooner then later.  after all before Cable started to offer internet and Phone services also we used to have three compaines all involved in our home entertainment so we can go back to that with multiple mobile providers. you can have the Apple iPhone 4 and use the Facetime on the go but you will just have to deal with that Verizon or Sprint bill for the mobile WiFi.  I know that I’d be willing to deal with that.

Sprint is the first with a new technology, but I still want an iPhone.
