Why rival phone makers should be afraid of the iPhone Jailbreak community.
February 27th, 2010
I have an iPhone and love it. Admittedly there are some shortcomings that other phone manufacturers have highlighted on that there wares can do that the iPhone cannot. Well, after jailbreaking my iPhone I can confidently say that the iPhone hardware as is can handle all those missing capabilities and the software already exists.
My friend pointed out to me that jailbreak mods don’t count because the average consumer couldn’t enable then and a majority of users would never experience the expanded feature set jailbroken software offers.
Here is what I say. The rivals are chasing a ghost. Many of the features and advantages other phones may offer and highlight are a simple modification away. The software already exists, it works, the iPhone is fully capable.
The dark side to Apple is that they leave a lot off the table. They have a lot of technology ready to go but won’t realease while their current products are still hot sellers and miles ahead of the competition. If sales start slipping or the guys in Cupertino feel threatened, they can release these features at the drop of a hat.
If you really want to beat Apple and the iPhone, your going to have to take a page out of their book – Think Different
