I was watching the original keynote last night, where Steve Jobs introduced the original iPhone. Apart from the over emphasis on it being an 'iPod' as at that time the iPod was still their biggest selling product. It's notable from the demos that the interface has changed little, apart from a few tweaks it's pretty much the same as we got in 2007.

You could look at that two ways, either they did their job right first time around and little change has been needed since, or, that they've failed to innovate over the same time period.

New Samsung Galaxy out later today. Will be interesting to see what they come up with.

I'm very tempted if the leaks are remotely accurate, although I might go for the Note purely because I adore the screen.

The fight is certainly on, between the S3 and the iPhone 5.

It seems almost certain now however that whatever Apple offers, it won't be up to the spec of the S3, which is a bit of a turnaround of the original mantra of "5 years ahead of everyone else", which Jobs spouted during the original iPhone launch, which I guess he was right in a way, the competition has caught up, Apple has been napping.

Maybe they had 5 years at the time it launched (I guess they were comparing themselves to Nokia back then), funnily enough 5 years later the competition is a few steps ahead already.

I certainly think if Apple hadn't realised the iPhone we'd probably be only just getting something as good as the original iPhone now from the likes of Nokia - but they did. And you're right, certainly as it stands today, and certainly tomorrow, the competition is already well ahead of Apple.

They sure had a good marketing approach and managed to turn previously failed ideas into viable products, however IMO this is where their knowledge stops and where the competition picks up with better technical know how and use of a common platform.
By trying to differentiate themselves, and their customers, Apple has managed to isolate themselves. The bunch of childish law suits didn't help their image either, but this was already discussed extensively.

I've said before, unless Apple release an iPhone with a larger screen (and an iPad with a smaller one) they'll see their market share rapidly eroded as upgrade cycles come round.

Well I've already decided that I won't be buying an iPhone 5 if it has another 3.5" screen.
