Spotify for iPhone
The Swedish music application Spotify hasn’t been out for more than 20 hours and it’s already on top of the ‘free’ chart in App store. I must say that the application works really good. It’s incredibly fast and you can sync your playlists between the desk application and your iPhone in a few seconds. You can even choose tracks to be available offline so that it works in flight mode as well The only problem I currently see is that you have to jailbreak your phone to be able to run Spotify in the background – and of course, you have to buy a premium Spotify account to be able to use it.

Unboxing the iPhone 3GS
Today is the launch day for Apple’s new iPhone 3GS in Sweden. I was in line this morning to get hold of the new, updated version of the phone. Here’s some photos of the holy unboxing procedure.
Keeping it amazingly complicated
Above you can see the current list of available models from Nokias site. I’m quite amazed how they have managed to put together such a complicated range of products. It’s quite a challenge to pick the ‘perfect phone’. 44 models listed in their ‘short list’. And it’s even worse over at Sony Ericsson’s site, they present over 70 different models when you browse around trying to get an overview:
If you compare it to Apple’s range of models, it’s quite a dramatic difference. Two models to choose from, and most people probably think both of them are the same thing, simply an iPhone. No wonder why they are growing their market share like crazy.
If Nokia and Sony Ericsson don’t do something dramatic about their product portfolio during the next couple of years, they are in real trouble. Just check out the development year-to-year regarding shipped mobile units:

According to a recent report from Generator Research, Apple will sell more smartphones than Nokia already in 2011. A lot can happen until then, but it’s still interesting to see how quickly a newcomer can gain market shares.

iPhone 3G S overheating problem
As you might now the iPhone 3G S has some reported problems with extreme heat, and in some cases it has even damaged the actual case. Here’s an interesting article on the reported problems.
1 million iPhone 3G S sold
Apple sold over 1 million iPhone 3G S phones during the first 3 days. Pretty good and quite a dramatic difference if you compare it to how many phones Apple sold during Q3/Q4 2007 when they launched the first iPhone – 1,389,000 phones. Full press release inside.
