whaddya think?

It's the next IPOD. A must-have among Techies first, then everybody when the price comes down.

($499=ouch)

Looks interesting, do you know the specs for it? Would be interested to know how it compares with the Sony Ericsson P-series smartphones.

Oh, it's so beautiful!! ! I must have one. But, um, I guess I'll just have to resign myself to disappointment, because I'm about as broke as broke can be, hehe.

This is my new one: http://youtube.com/watch?v=EtZx9pQ3Bxw

Admittedly it's bigger and a fair bit more expensive than the Apple one, but I'd be lost without WiFi and touchscreen interface.

I heard that the IPHONE won't require any stylus, as a knock to Sony.

Could be advantageous I suppose as it's sometimes a real pain if you misplace the stylus. It's not 100% neccessarry with the P-series, just feels much better with one. I want to know when we'll be able to send and receive texts plus emails direct from our brains just by thinking.

the iphone has wifi and touchscreen

I'm glad I bought AAPL stock some months ago. Stock went up 8.3% today on the iphone news.

Why aren't there more Aspies drooling about this thing? COME ON PEOPLE, GET PSYCHED!! !


-widescreen video iPod
-fully functioning OSX
-first fully functioning web browser for the phone (Safari)
-completely touch screen and colorful
-will sync with all your iLife s**t, including calendar, photo, etc.
-crystal clarity
-thin and light weight
-no stylus
-ability to resize photos and webpages with your fingertips! (this is a really neat feature)
-it's an apple, so its probably going to just get better with time


I won't get one until next year I predict, but these things are seriously awesome. Its a giant punch in the face to windows. All the windows guys at my work were silently weeping and mumbling that the iPhone is "cool".

alex: you forgot a poll option.

"OH EM GEE I WANT 2 HAEV ITS BABIEZ!11!! !!1!!ONE!1!! !!"

I really hope I'm not alone with that sentiment, that thing looks so amazing. I just hope that the cingular logo isn't telling of how many carriers will have access to it. More than that, I hope if Verizon offers it that they don't try to cripple the hell out of it.

It doesn't work with verizon. It's a GSM phone.

...and that sounds like something Verizon needs to work on.

If I end up going to grad school in a different part of the country (assuming I get in to any >_<), I may seriously consider changing my carrier so I have access to the phone. Even if I don't initially get one, it will be nice to have as an option later down the line. That, and I'm not a huge verizon fan at this point. Preventing me from using the bluetooth connectivity that the phone is capable of, no me gusta.

I covet the iPhone. I want the iPhone. I am counting down the days until I can buy an iPhone. I am so glad I didn't buy an iPod for Christmas; now I will put that iPod money towards my iPhone and just use my Nano for now. It's the ultimate smartphone: a widescreen iPod with 160 ppi resolution, a cell phone, and a sync-able, dockable, OS X/Safari-running mini-computer. Apple really has reinvented the phone.

Also, Cingular's website (linked from Apple) says it's exclusive to the carrier. (Personally, I've been happy with my Cingular service, but I guess some people have issues with it.)

CDMA is technically superior to GSM and it's apple's responsibility to support 3G
