Who has an iPhone ?

[Steven Woods]

I heard rumors that Apple is going to come out with a new iPhone sometime this year, does anybody know if it is true or not?

[Dominic J. Maricic]

Yes they are.

[Steven Woods]

Sweet! Hey Dom do you know what the new features are going to be?

[kpierce]

It's still technically unconfirmed with no details. No?

[Dominic J. Maricic]

They will be trying to kill the Palm Pre Buzz (and Palm while they're at it), plus they need true 3G now that Sprint has moved onto 4G. You're correct though, Apple has not confirmed it yet. But right now they're releasing one a year so it would make sense.

Steven,
Yes they are and it supposed to happen this month....which is why we are asking this question. We are also hoping that there will be other form factors that will be even more appealing to the inspection crowd...(bigger screen, handwriting and print capabilities). And the built in compass in the new iPhone it would be cool to add that capability to the inspection software so for those buyers who are of a religion where they care which direction the front of the house is facing ...it will automatically know and automatically enter it for you in the software....plus swiping your finger across the screen to navigate through the inspection data gathering process will just be quite nice !!

Still waiting to hear about that touch screen net book

[William M. Corbett]

I know the next computer I get will be a Mac. I am also looking for an unlocked iphone. I've got an ipod touch that I listen to while I inspect and I love the features. There is an app for everything.

Me too, but I'm hoping they both succeed as the device at alwaysinnovating.com looks awesome and runs linux (which will work with HIP) as will a 9 inch Mac tablet. We have quite a few users that inspect with Windows tablets then transfer their files to a Mac to finish the inspection and would like a Mac tablet to use all along. Now that Apple bought a mobile chip maker would it only makes sense that they'll be using them!

The new iPhone was announced yesterday...plus the original is now only $99.

Many of my contractor buds have tried the Iphone, Palms, Instinct, etc.

For durability AND features they REALLY are big on the Blackberry CURVE

[John Shishilla]

Just traded the curve for the storm. I use google calendar and works it great. I never used and iphone but At&t has poor coverage by me, I my try the new iphone when Verizon gets it.

Just told by Sprint that they do not allow tethering my Blackberry to my netbook after using it for a year.

Those jerks are making me look into an i phone soon (different carrier of course)
