No more ‘iPhone wWill not Sync Calendar’: The Missing Sync
Explaining Why All other Smartphones Lag Behind iPhone
Before the release of the iPhone (July 4, 2007) there were few option for the users to choose from. I mean the devices that combined a comfortable keyboards for quick typing, camera and an inbuilt music player, the ability to sync with email.
The options were:
1. Palm Treo and BB for Sprint
2. Palm Treo, BB, LG enV and Moto Q for Verizon
3. Palm Treo, BB, HTC for AT&T
BB was the owner of the corporate market and RIM was just on its way up into the consumer space. Palm OS was the best user-oriented mobile OS on the market. Everything seemed to go all right. But in a while Palm started experiencing a crisis which resulted in the retreat of the company.
The rest of the smartphones were quite narrow products which could not supply the users with the required functionality.
But here comes the iPhone. You know, it looked like the world was just waiting for a gadget like this to come and take its place. Before the release of the iPhone if you wanted to get a new smartphone you needed to scroll through dozens of similar devices. Now you could have just one. It was different from all of them in the design, in the technology, in the approach and in the know-how. It is what any consumer wants, isn’t it?
In 2007 Apple came with a completely new device. It was the device that could move the borders of the mobile communication. I’m not actually saying that iPhone is a perfect communicator. Of course, it has its own disadvantages (as the absence of flash and java, copy/paste function etc.), but in general it made a real revolution on the mobile market. And if you want my personal opinion on the issue, the major revolution is still to come with the release of the 3G iPhone. Apple simply cannot let down the expectations of the audience. Too much is at stake.
But I still wonder why Sony Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung, and LG, being in the mobile market much longer than Apple, compete with the latter at the equal level? Could you help me answer this question?

Apple declares a war on iPhone clones
The inevitable has happened. I expected this sooner or later. Apple’s declaration didn’t take anyone by surprise…wait…in fact it did! Apple was ready to take legal actions against the UK retailer Digital Playground, but fortunately for everybody the affair ended up peacefully.
Let me start from the beginning. It seems that Apple’s legal team is planning to decrease the increasing influx of iPhone fakes (especially the ones coming from the Chinese market via black and grey channels).
Apple has learned its previous mistakes and has covered the iPhone with patents “from top to toe”. This aggressive strategy in general does pay off. The copying of a great number of features beyond the touchscreen seems limited.
Nevertheless, the copyright is here for the Western world, and as we know China is not the Western world, so you see that copyright has rather vague borders there. The country has flooded the US market with hundreds of iPhone fake’s models. Some of there fakes even bare Apple’s logo, which is in its substance simply incredible.
Some of the stores sell these fakes all right. But recently they’ve had lots to think about. The other day Apple came with “all guns blazing” and “big bully boy tactics” against the UK retailer Digital Playground. Apple sent the company a letter saying that unless clones are eliminated from sales Apple will take legal action against the company. Apple accused the clones of having “the same overall impression as Apple’s registered design.”
The companies came to an agreement before the case went to court. Apple not only wanted iPhone fakes out of sales but also all of them sent to it (as well as the prices, suppliers and all the additional information Apple might need during the investigation). In fact, Digital Playground didn’t have choice!
So, fake iPhone manufacturers fear Apple otherwise they’ll come to you! =)
