Apple’s long overdue iPhone will hit retailers Friday. At first glance, it seems that the iPhone is appealing greatly to teens as well as people 20-30 years old. The all in one social networking market is hot right now. YouTube brought “Vloggers” (Video Bloggers) together. MySpace brought casual and social internet users together. It looks like the iPhone will continue where computers and PC based internet left off.

For years business magazines and columnists worldwide have been predicting the next big advertising breakthrough in the form of mobile internet and cell phones. Sure people have been able to browse their favorite websites and check email from cell phones for years, however, with new technology such as the iPhone bridging the gap between consumers and affordable mobile web technology companies are racing to take advantage of their new potential audience. With MySpace receiving roughy 50% the daily traffic of YouTube it only makes sense for Google to take this opportunity to to continue running circles around it’s competitor. Apple announced a deal last week with Google that will provide iPhone users exclusive access to an all new battery saving version of over 10,000 of the most popular YouTube videos. YouTube will release more and more videos in the low bandwidth iPhone ready format eash week as the iPhone rolls out into various markets worldwide.

I’m not too sure what I think about the iPhone myself, having only early previews and few hands on reviews to guide my decision making process, but, I do have a good feeling about it. Everything Apple has done lately has gone over extremely well with the new generation of internet users. Teens and 20-somethings alike are in love with Apple. Sure business users might still prefer the cost effective PC over a Mac, and geeks might still be happy lugging their 30 pound tower PC’s to videogame LAN parties, but with the release of the iPhone Friday even Blackberry users might take a look on the other side of the fence. After all, the grass is definitely greener on Apple’s patented touch screen LCD technology, but, that’s a debate for another day, and perhaps one better suited for my tech blog.
