The One to Watch

The new iPhone 3G is being released this Friday, thus causing the websites who are carrying the iPhone to be swamped, most notably O2 and Carphone Warehouse. Apparently, demand is 10 times higher than the original iPhone and it is already sold out. We can certainly see why people would drool over this one. As we mentioned a couple months ago, it'll have GPS navigation, 3G access and of course a user interface that is second to none.

However, for those who are more tech savvy, as opposed to the great unwashed Apple supporters, our money is on the C905 by SonyEricsson. This one isn't due until early fourth quarter of this year, but it'll be well worth wait. So what makes this one so great? Well, it's a CyberShot camera, with 8.1 megapixels and a xenon flash (as opposed to the camera on the iPhone, which is seriously lacking). This camera will carry Sony's face-recognition software for taking great candids of people. It also has a GPS receiver (a SirfStar III chip), so not only can you get directions to your destination, but they've also managed to tie it to your camera so your photos can be geotagged. How cool is that? Also, it'll be SonyEricsson's first CyberShot mobile phone that will have WiFi built in, and we're betting that it won't take down WiFi routers like the iPhone did. This will be the one to watch, as it'll soon set a new standard in mobile phones being the centre of convergence of electronic gadgets.
