There is another wave in the rumor buzz created by iPhone 3G. The iPhone 3G is said to be coming up with a version that will sport a slider keyboard. Apple has always been good at marketing strategies. According to The Register, with this keyboard idea Apple wants to target the professionals who still prefer Blackberry and Windows Mobile.
With a little push to our imagination, a slider iPhone does not sound much appealing. Would you like an iPhone with full QWERTY keyboard? There have been phones with QWERTY keyboards but what made the iPhone popular eventually is its touchscreen. The iPhone rivals have been striving to offer such a touchscreen.
The new iPhone comes with an improved enterprise support in its iPhone 2.0 OS firmware which is freely available for update for the iPhone users and is pre-installed on all 3G hardware. Well, inspite of this Apple wants a slider keyboard. Let’s wait until an official announcement is made. Stay tuned.
