iPhone killed by lack of features?

imageAt our sister site Apple Matters, Chris Howard has an interesting piece up on the fate of the iPhone. Specifically Chris is wondering if the iPhone’s lack of features will doom the device. After hearing the doom sayers wondering where some particular feature Chris concludes they have it wrong.  From the article:

Looking at more recent history, we can look at the iPod. Didn’t you just get so sick of the stories predicting its inevitable doom because it didn’t have features, such as FM radio? And every time a new media player came out that had any of those feature it was touted as an iPod killer. And yet they all failed and the iPod is still the marketshare and mindshare leader by a street. Clearly it’s not all about features.

He’s got that right! Check out the full piece.

  2. Well the point of the article was how weak the idea of choosing a phone off the specs are, how badly PC Australia failed, so I thought it was valid. If the point had been the iPhone sucks because it doesn’t have FM radio I would agree but the point of the article was that it isn’t the “missing” features that will kill the iPhone. The point was that people who think the “missing” features will kill the iPhone are mistaken.
