"If you are voice centric the Droid already is better than the iPhone" --Robert Scoble from a recent blog post
In one glance I realized why the iPhone is not just a cool device but an expression of a new value system--one that focuses more on pull communication than push.
If Scoble is not voice-centric then what is he?
"I’m web and Twitter centric," he goes on to say.
Wow.
So many people tell me that Verizon has better coverage. Honestly I do not care. I do not like talking on the phone in the first place, so people are actually persuading me to keep my iPhone rather than switch when they say this to me.
I do not think that the value of face to face or even personal interaction (like a phone call) will decrease. I do think that more and more people (millenials and below) will make a decision about their technology based more on what they can PULL IN over what they can PUSH OUT.
My three most used apps on my iPhone:
- Tweetie (for twitter)
- Byline (for my RSS feeds)
- Mail (for email)
My next three most used apps:
- SMS
- Safari
The phone app would come after that. 7th in terms of time spent.
Anyone else out there value pull over push?
