Video Faceoff! New iPhone vs. Old iPhone vs. Palm Pre
Posted using ShareThis
This was an interesting article I found that shows an Analyst, Walt Piecyk of Pali Research, stating that the old iPhone with the new operating system actually may be slower.
As his tests took place on AT&T's network with the WiFi turned off in Midtown Manhattan, he said the biggest surprise was testing the iPhone against the Palm Pre of Sprint Nextel's network.
He found that the Palm Pre offers better versions of YouTube videos, but does admitedly speculate that Sprint is probably compressing these videos.

AT&T Customers Twitter over new iPhone price
Many whom own a cellphone know the frustration of only receiving discounts on purchases when signing a new service agreement. According to Rita Chang of AdAge, over 5,000 people have signed a petition via twitter to offer subsidized prices to existing AT&T iPhone users for the new iPhone 3GS. The new iPhone 3GS is selling for $199 to new customers, but is selling for $399 to existing customers locked in a contract.
Will this buzz make a difference?
Although I agree with the frustration that current customers should be offered a rebate or incentive to trade up, I understand the economics behind the higher price. Having worked in Telecommunications for 5 years, these companies offer more affordable prices at the beginning of a new contract because it is more of an incentive to join their service. Companies make money on their customers for paying their bill over the life of the 2 year contract and would take a hit fiscally if they were to provide the same incentives to existing customers. I know this is a hard concept to grasp, but the economics around it make sense.
Consumers should have the ability to buy whatever phone they want at a reasonable price, but in this industry when you buy, think twice of the next rumored gadget.
