Yes, it sounds unbelievable but I am going to be an iPhone owner in a couple of days. And I am going to write a review from a perspective of a Sony Fanboy. Naturally, I am not a friend of Apple and their products at all. Since now I didn’t own a single Apple product. But Apple has much in common with Sony in their glorious days. They don’t just push another product of category x on the market but they make new markets in redefining. What I mean: Sony had the Walkmen. They were breathtaking products and leading mobile music players of the former century. It wasn’t possible to move this product to the digital area just without really redefining it. Apple did it - the iPod. And out came a cult object (like the Walkman). But now Apple was and is the leader. Sony Ericsson pushed a lot of great mobile phones on the market. All of them innovative and leaders in their product categories. But the software was and is buggy, the system is not foolproof and far to slow in response. They included every technology but let the customer out in the rain on how to utilise. Apple did not include every possible technology into the iPhone but set the user experience in the foreground. Technology for the customer.

I am fed up with buggy software, far to slow systems, bulky UIs and medicore “media experience”.

So stay tuned for the first “real” review next weekend.

Also, I am proud to announce that Scaanoo, the most innovative chat experience, will release a Web App for the iPhone very soon.
