We all need a Mobile World, don't we?

So Apple finally unleashed the new iPhone 3G.

It's cheaper, slightly thinner, with integrated GPS and faster on third-generation mobile networks. The new iPhone has got the old 2Mpixels camera, but who cares? The iPhone 3G is the must-have for any trendy geek.

But the real news is not about the highly anticipated iPhone 3G, the real news is that Apple has succeeded in developing the best Mobile Platform for the rest of us. We don't need a Blackberry (or EXCHANGE) anymore to be always connected to our calendars, emails... We just need MobileMe and an iPhone/iPod touch.

As I've read on this NYT article, Apple aims to the masses. I agree with that point of view. Apple wants the masses to go mobile. Do we really need to go mobile? Of course we do.

Nowadays, it's absolutely crucial - both for work and study - to be always connected to our email and to the web, because we receive many more emails than SMS and because the information we need are ALWAYS on the web. It's becoming absurd that one must wait to go back home and check email to get your last message, or that we cannot search on Google that thing we don't remember because we are not sitting in front of our Mac/PC.

We need to go mobile if we keep on using massively email and web. The only thing we can do if we don't want to go mobile is not to use email and web. And it's obviously impossible unless we live on a desert island (and even there... watch Nim's Island for more).
