The marketing prowess of Apple Inc. is legendary, a reputation that was bolstered again Tuesday by a slick 30-minute online video that offers a guided tour of the iPhone 3G coming July 11. (http://www.nytimes.com/idg/IDG_852573C4006938800025747A006B0B7B.html?ref=technology 7/2)
If you have an iPhone, this video is overly simplistic and painful to watch. I wonder if Bob here uses these same hand gestures in regular conversation. Must be Italian.
Google has announced an iPhone version of Google Talk which is simply an iPhone-ized browser-formatted version of the Google’s text chat application. This means you can’t talk over the Interwebs but you can tap out halting messages to your friends on the iPhone’s screen and, thanks to Safari’s tendency to clear pages randomly, you probably won’t enjoy a sustained conversation.
