its wayyyyyyy over rated! people just want it cos its got the logo/brand name they just want to scam people out of way too much money for what its worth!
Give us some figures for the 'as yet unconfirmed' specification, apple's markup and some market comparisons for devices performing similar functions. But yeah, you're right. It is mainly the Apple brand that will shift it. "OMFG, like wow. It's an iPod AND a phone!!!! Eeeek!"
Could someone post phones they think are cooler? The iPhone is pretty nifty in my mind and not simply for the brand name.
No. People will want it because it is visually fucking amazing. This phone is like the technology promised to us in movies and television for years. Of course, the real phone will likely fall far from the expectations as presented by Apple. Because, at the moment, Apple is just giving us a dose of what has already whetted our appetites for such technology. Computer generated graphics. I don't think the technology demonstrated was so much real as simulated as a concept. Could be wrong. But, regardless, it is sure is a beautiful piece of crap. But the price is way too high. So most will continue to 'want'.
There'll be knock-offs though. Maybe even a better, cheaper knock-off. Well, certainly a cheaper one, at least.
How much does it cost? It does sound cool. For some time I've thought it was stupid for me to carry around an Ipod, a cellphone, a radio, and a laptop. Give me one cool, user friendly device!
Is 4gb or 8gb enough for text messages, 2 megapixel size photos, music and videos? I agree with whoever mentioned that they're interested in the revision to the device. Look at the first ipod and the 5th generation one....can't even stand to look at the first generation ipod now, compared to what it has evolved into. So one can only wonder what the following models will do and look like.

Yes, it is very kewl. But I'm not interested in paying Apple in order to be one of their Beta testers. The 2nd generation would be the first one I seriously consider getting...or else the first, once the second generation pushes its price way down Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! BTW I am a full-time Mac user. I know of the vast difference in quality between OS 10.1 and OS 10.3 and 4. The first one was a revolution in GUI design, but it took a while for the functionality to catch up.
Look at how nicely manicured that guy's hands are. Ahh. The life of a hand model. I wonder how much he pays for a manicure? Wonder how much he gets paid for a modeling assignment? Aside: Yes. It stands to reason to wait for the iPhone to advance a version or two. Of course, for most, this is forced as the original price is prohibitive. As the technology becomes old hat, the price will drop and more people will buy. Ironic that the better tested technology actually becomes cheaper.
I actually think that those are quite ugly hands. The nails are out of proportion. No manicure can hide that. Can't explain why I think this though.
I have no taste in hands. I just assumed that they must be pretty hands. He's definitely wearing nail polish.
I assume that people have different taste in hands similar to some people like big breasts and other people liking big nails. Hands should be flawed though. Because they are used for work. Or should I say they are supposed to be used for work.
They look quite big and strong. Maybe a "look at this big strong guy, guys and girls" kind of marketing ploy. The guys will think if an alpha male type have one, they should, too. The girls will imagine how big and strong he is, how he could beat them with one hand, that he has such lovely manicured nails for a guy and that he must be metrosexual. I could just be spouting from an orifice.
Only GIRLS look at details like that, so I assume that you guys are actually GIRLS hiding behind a man's name on the internet LOL In fact: from a advertising point of view, the hand holding the phone, should be as insignificant as possible, totally irellevant, INVISIBLE even. And this in order for the phone to draw all attention, but hey, that's only my professional alter ego that's speaking.
I'm just subscribed to this thread...sigh wich i'm now going to undo because nothing of any significance can be said anymore about this phone,...
I want to know, when will I be able to purchase these babies: Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
