No Video Call Support – The much hoped front-facing camera for video calls is not available in the new release.

Missing Cut, Copy & Paste – Every smart phone’s must to have features are basic cut, copy & paste. Apple failed to add these features to the new phone.

Adobe Flash – The Safari web browser used in the iPhone does not have Adobe Flash support. So none of the flash enabled web sites can be viewed on iPhone

Miscellaneous – The other disappointments include no Video Recording Support, lack of landscape oriented keyboard, week Bluetooth support.

Apple Says "No Cash Please And You Are Allowed To Buy Only 2 iPhones"

Apple cracked whip again on iPhone resellers and pirates by imposing new restrictions. Apple and AT & T stores no longer accepts cash for iPhone purchases and the number of iPhones sold to a person is restricted to 2.

Apple spokesperson said

Customer response to the iPhone has been off the charts, and limiting iPhone sales to two per customer helps us ensure that there are enough iPhones for people who are shopping for themselves or buying a gift. We're requiring a credit or debit card for payment to discourage unauthorized resellers.

Apple was selling 5 iPhones person before making this statement and there were no restrictions on mode of payment.

Since the release of iPhone in June 29th of this year, Apple reportedly sold 1.4 million phones. Out these 1.4 million iPhones Apple estimated that 250,000 are unlocked and illegally used.

This move of Apple hits many of the black markets in countries like India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Singapore of Asia. In India you can purchase an unlocked iPhone for Rs. 26,000.00. But with the new restrictions in place, it will become tough for iPhone resellers to get phones from Apple stores. So there are chances of price hike of iPhones in black market.

The Last 10 Years of Apple vs Dell. See How Apple Fortune is Changed After iPOD Release

This is a chart that shows market capital of Apple and Dell over last 10 years [released by NASDAQ].

Like DIGG effect on website traffic, you can see iPOD effect on Apple capital from 2005 June onwards. Apple market cap increased in four folds since the release of iPOD!! In the recent days the party is joined by iPhone and Apple is set to reach new heights soon.

You would be thinking why Apple market capital is compared with Dell alone in this post. There is a strong reason for this. In 1997 Michel Dell was asked "what would you do if you were the CEO of Apple?" in front of thousands of technology executives. Dell replied "What would I do? I’d shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders." I don't want to say anything more about this comparison. You say it now..[add comments]
