J Larsen Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 It is really a widescreen, internet capable ipod with integrated phone. Details to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Larsen Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 I'm going to wait for the media to put together a good article rather than going through all the features myself - suffice to say Apple has far, far exceeded my expectations both in terms of useful features and just flat-out cool features (like the fact that it automatically displays in widescreen if you hold it horizontally and in full screen if you hold it vertically - not to mention the new interface... wow!!!)

Jim Alfredson Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Great. Is it going to be $600? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Larsen Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 $500 for an 4GB drive, $600 for an 8GB drive with a 2 yr contract. Pretty pricey gadget, but very, very cool looking, and not that bad price wise when compared to a small iPod, Blackberry and phone (I guess you can use your blackberry as a phone, but I don't like to).

Jim Alfredson Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Ouch. That's crazy expensive just to listen to iTunes on your phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Larsen Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 It's really more if a handheld computer, but I agree it is pretty expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.:.impossible Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 This thing is cool. I just came across the engadget article by accident not 10 minutes ago. Definitely more than a phone. Blackberry will lose a chunk of its market, though this thing runs OSX if I'm not mistaken. Also introduced iTV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Wood Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 I will be a high tech and business phone at first until the prices eventually drop. $600 is too steep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 As I recall, it took two or three years for the iPod to catch on. Does anyone remember if price was a consideration then? With people willing to spend a thousand dollars for a big screen TV, I'm of the opinion that people will spend the money if they want the damn thing.

porcy62 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 (edited) Damn, I had to buy a new Nokia phone six months ago. Well, doesn't matter I spared 530 bucks. And considering the medium life of today's technology I presume I will have to buy a new phone when the iPhone will reach a honest price Edited January 9, 2007 by porcy62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rostasi Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 iPhone iSux... - will not use the same OS X that you use on your laptop - so your apps won't run in it - only Apple will be making apps for the iPhone -- i.e. no 3rd party apps planned as of yet - doesn't have external storage capability - uses DRM as does the iPod - doesn't have GPS - locked to Cingular service in the US - costs way too much read: http://www.boingboing.net/2007/01/14/iphon..._roach_mot.html check out: http://openmoko.com/press/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medjuck Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 We got a couple this week. Trying to get more for the rest of the office. I'm still learning to use mine but already find it better than my old Blacberry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Larsen Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I heard you couldn't access an exchange server with an iPhone. If that is true, then it is really an entirely different tool from a BlackBerry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoGrubb Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Also, there's a rumor going around that certain external harddrives(Maxtor) are embedded with a trojan malware. The rumor also accuses the Chinese gov on gathering the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
