SOCIAL: Fwd: Introducing iPhone 4.

[Amandeep Jawa]

Eric as a point of fact, I know for *sure* those feature weren't ready when we shipped the first iPhone.  Moreover most of those features were supported by free software updates as soon as they were ready.  Thus your point is just factually incorrect I'm afraid.


it took a lot of time and hard work to get those features done.  I know some of the people who worked on them.

Many of the "features" added over the last several versions of different products already existed but just weren't included in these popular products (the classic examples are not having MMS, video, or cut/paste in the original iPhones).  And yes, I've heard that they weren't quite ready for such high performance products, but I don't totally buy that.

And I do get frustrated by the way this industry makes you feel like your one-year-old whatever it is is now a dinosaur. But then again, technology *is* moving that fast. It is hard to know where to strike the balance, though.
