CommunicAsia 2008; Take a Peek At iPhone Rivals
CommunicAsia Expo in Singapore has been a battlefield for iPhone rivals. Each of them has shown up their superiority against iPhone. There are at least 3 types of new phone that are believed can compete with iPhone, they are Samsung Omnia, Garmin Nuvifone, and HTC Touch Diamond.
Samsung, a cellular company from Korea, has Omnia as their line up. Equipped with 3.2 inch touchscreen, Omnia also has minimalist design just like iPhone, and off course, a touchscreen GPS navigation.
While Garmin, which has been known as Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment producer, takes the CommunicAsia visitors’ eyes with their Nuvifone. This touchscreen phone also looks like iPhone too. However, Garmin has officially claimed that Nuvifone is not an iPhone competitor. They would rather call it a navigation phone, because it has an excellent GPS ability.
On the other side, HTC Touch Diamond already came in the market a while ago . It also has a touchscreen navigation that iPhone introduced. Even a newspaper in Indonesia called The Strait Times called HTC Touch Diamond as the first phone that can get close to iPhone ability.
