Thinking about technology retrospectively makes me kind feel old, despite being 28 years young. As a child of the Nintendo generation, I can still remember unwrapping my NES, complete with Super Mario Brothers and Duck Hunt, both of which cam on the same cartridge. Then there was the Game Boy, the SNES, Walkman, Discman, and later came the almighty Intel P4. For the longest time after that, I relied on old technology rather than buying new. Things were simply too expensive for me, a student, and gadgets were constantly being one upped by smaller, faster, better devices.
That sets up today’s topic, which is fan based evolutions of the popular iPhone. To understand the evolution of the iPhone, although it’s still in its’ first generation, one need only look at the evolution of the Apple’s iPod. In less than a decade, the classic, mini, nano, shuffle, and touch varieties have multiple generations of upgrades behind them. Hence fans of the already popular iPhone are drooling at the prospect of future iPhone. From a transparent concept to multiple iPhones with sliding keyboards and even a heavy duty camera, as Blackberry devotee, I’m even excited to see what the future holds for Apple’s premier communication device.
