iPhone - digging a grave for current mobile webphones

Digg is setting up a service for the iPhone....because its worth it. No doubt many others will follow suit.

We have been doing quite a lot of client work on the emergence of mobile multimedia recently, and one of the things that comes out strongly is the predictable refusal of the operator-handset complex to adopt new stuff...they lost email to Blackberry, music to Apple, and will likely lose video multimedia as well.

Ah well....sounds the death knell for the current crop of "web browsing" mobile handsets anyway....and not a minute too soon.

Hint - lose those buttons that launch a webservice whenever your finger slips guys, its cheesy and just makes us know you're out to rook us....
