What is next after Apple iPhone 3G? Any Ideas

The Apple iPhone 3G has now been around for a while, and love it or loath it, you have to give credit where its due, the Apple iPhone 3G has been the most successful mobile phone in the history of mobile phones so far.

I know some will moan and gripe, saying not another post praising the iPhone 3G, but this isn’t just a praise of the handset. I am aware as most are, the iPhone 3G has had and probably will continue to have problems along the way, just like most new innovative mobile handsets.

What I’d like to do with this post is find out what our readers think should happen with the Apple iPhone in future. I don’t mean comments like throw it in the bin, what I do mean is your views on what the future could possibly hold for a next generation Apple iPhone.

So the question I put to our readers is this… What is next after Apple iPhone 3G? Any Ideas

Both devices run on fast 3G phone networks and include Wi-Fi. Both have smart-touch interfaces and robust Web browsers. Both have the ability to easily download third-party apps, or programs.

But the two devices have different strengths and weaknesses, and are likely to attract different types of users.

If you’ve been lusting after the iPhone’s functionality, but didn’t like its virtual keyboard or its user interface or its U.S. carrier, AT&T, the G1 may be just the ticket for you. But it does have some significant downsides.
