iPhone to Hit Ireland

Am I impressed ? Yes and No
Yes..... we are getting access to a cool product?

No... .as i have always said... its a cool gadget for the then unsophisticated American Market... but still no Camera,
the Tariff is too restrictive. On Appleinsider some wag has called the Irish Data Famine...
Data is what the iPhone does best and having a too restrictive tariff is dreadful but then mobile or cell phone tariffs here have always been on the expensive side, not to mention the initial handsets.

A new genuine 3G iPhone is on the cards for a Q3 release and as Apple don't run dual stocks... Ireland will have access to it when its available in other markets...

Back to the Camera. it seems at odds that Apple have pioneered the easy access to the digital media (iPhoto, itunes, Podcasts, Quicktime.......) and we take it for granted on other handset to have a half decent camera.

What would make me change over...?
A better tariff in line with US carriers, maybe O2 could combine their Wirless Boradband service to finally kick start the 3g revoloution,
A decent camera,
More ipod space
64GB anyone?

One reason Ireland may have been chosen as the next market? Google... Google have their European HQ in Dublin, so with the iPhone developers kit being launched in a few weeks and the already progressive Apple / Google partnership, Ireland and dublin in particular seems a good play ground for the iPhone, but only if are not picking up the bill.
