Handhelds

Could it be that even the most ardent of Blackberry owners are preparing to turn their backs on their QWERTY machines once the iPhone 4G or iPhone HD is released?

This seems to be the case according to a survey conducted by Crowd Science. It revealed that a staggering 2 out of 5 Blackberry users said that they would to move over to the Appley handset once their contract comes up for renewal.

It appears that the major hang-up that the RIM phone lovers have is the lack of security features on the iPhone – you know, the backdoors that allow people to jailbreak the iPhone OS.

Are you a Blackberry user? Are you tempted to defect over and join us on the Apple side of the street?

Ok, so I had dubious pics before and now here’s an equally dubious vid that points to the iPhone 4G following the Zune naming method and appearing as the iPhone HD.

According to this ‘leaked commercial’ the next gen iPhone sports a radically new chassis in which to house the higher powered camera and the front facing camera.

Word on the street is that the 4G data chips might not be ready for a Summer release of the iPhone 4G which could cause a delay or perhaps a renaming – iPhone HD?

I think I could get used to the design in the vid but how genuine is it? Is this just the musing of another talented and bored fanboy/girl or could this be a glimpse into what to expect?

Watch the vid and then share your opinions :)

True; plenty of work has gone into this and the exposed brickwork setting is very tasteful but something isn’t sitting right.
