Titolo: iPhone brings Star Trek to the modern world

http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/technology/article7145728.ece
Apple has placed video calling at the centre of its new iPhone, which it
considers to be its biggest upgrade since the handset was launched in 2007.
The iPhone model features a new design and offers users a better battery
life and improved graphics. However, it was video calling that got the
5,000 crowd at the Worldwide Developers Conference most excited. Steve
Jobs, founder and chief executive of Apple, introduced the new service to
whoops of delight when he called to Jony Ive, the companyï¿½s British-born
designer.
ï¿½I grew up with The Jetsons and Star Trek, just dreaming about video
calling. Now itï¿½s real,ï¿½ Mr Jobs said.
Video calling has been available since the launch of 3G networks last
decade but has yet to catch on with mobile phone users, because of quality
and design issues.

Carolina Milanesi, an analyst with Gartner, said that Apple could make
video calling a mass market service. ï¿½Even though the concept is not new,
itï¿½s about what you do with it and how easy you make it. People may say
video calling has been around for years, but have they used it? No.ï¿½
Britain will be one of the first countries to get the new iPhone 4 when it
is launched on June 24. Apple will sell the top-end iPhone 4 for $299 In
America and reduce the cost of older iPhones.
O2 and Orange said they would both stock the new iPhone 4 from June 24 but
did not reveal pricing. O2 said it would offer a "limited time special
upgrade" to its users suggesting customers already using a 3G S but with
months left on their contracts may be able to get their hands on the new
phone before their long-term deal.

Seh! Adesso arrivano loro e reinventano la ruota!
Le videochiamate non hanno fortuna per due semplici motivi: (1) non si puo' 
mentire e (2) hanno bisogno di attenzione totale.
Magari i fanboy di Apple si videochiameranno tra di loro per poter dire "io sono 
figo e facciola videochiamata con la tecnologia dell'iPad mini"; mi aspetto in 
agosto un fiorire di iPad mini a Santa Margherita con brianzoli che vanno in 
spiaggia e urlano "ue' ciccetta! sun chi a Santa, quand l'e' che te vegnet gio' 
anca ti? Dai che ci facciamo l'aperitivo e poi andiamo al Covo a ballare!"

Ha capito che con sole due parole (star trek) riesce a vendere qualche migliaio 
di device in piu' a dei lobotomizzati.
Fa benissimo. Io farei anche di peggio al suo posto. Tanto se quei lobotomizzati 
non pagano la Apple, pagano qualche franchise di Paramount per altre idiozie.
