iPhone turns heads in Davos

iPhone World:

Apparently the iPhone is the hot unofficial topic of discussion for some panelists at this years’ World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The annual meeting of global political and business elites included New York Times journalist John Markoff, who was one of the few with the device at this years’ meetings.

“It’s still very much a RIM Blackberry world. Indeed, if you pull an iPhone out of your pocket, it still creates a mild sensation here, because unlike in the United States, most Europeans have yet to touch Apple’s six-month-old handheld phenomenon.” states Markoff in the ‘Davos Diary’ on New York Times Online.

Apparently discussion was had during a Technology Update panel, which included the likes of AT&T Chief Executive Randall Stephenson as well as others from High Tech Computer & Lenovo, and it was agreed that the iPhone is greeted as a positive for the technology sector, on account of its easy-to-use interface attracting more casual mobile users, in addition to usual business users. In contrast to the apparent foreboding of an economic crisis , the iPhone may be shining example of perhaps what the future may hold for the technology sector.
