The original post is at: <a href="http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/robert-scoble-on-the-iphone" rel="nofollow">http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/robert-scoble-on-the-iphone</a> You guys have a much better product and the word needs to get out there.) That Nokia blog guy should keep this vid on the first page of his blog. He used to be a bit skeptical about Scoble, but Scoble just did his work for him. The technological constraints they point out are all valid. This is a pretty strong, if informal, endorsement of (existing) Nokia technology and an attack on current Apple technology and their vaporware. The central point is critical, i.e. that Apple’s iphone will sell because it’s “cool” and not for any new or outstanding features. I remember selling computers 20 years ago and teenagers would make their parents buy Apple computer’s because they were “cool” even though other companies had better software and hardware. Apple has always maintained their brand. Scoble’s joke about the stock-backdating billionaire Jobs wearing those cool black turtle necks meaning a better-seeling product is spot on.
