I just don't want to see that smug and uninformed Mac asshole on the current Mac commercials doing any kind of advertising for this thing. Those commercials are a joke and a half.

Oh my gawd, some of ya'll are taking this very, very seriously.

So is taking the time to post about iphones on prince.org, yet here we are

ok, I just confirmed that it does NOT have 3g tech. That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of.

You may be onto something. But it certainly didn't cost me $499.

I still use my cd walkman. Sure the cd's take up space in my bag, but i have to take my bag anyway.

Shit, i was the last one using cassette walkmans aswell.

I still don't see the appeal of mp3 players apart from convience. Same with dvd players. At least with them the picture is better then VHS, but where are the crappy trailers we use to see on VHS?

MP3's often sound shit from the ones my mates have.

Waste of money. Organising those things takes waaaaay too much effort. Just put in CD, and play. Thats it. Iam lazy.

You are fantastically tuned. I think you get more enjoyment out of a Michael Bolton video than Melvin Bragg would in the Louvre. Again, fantastic.

Iam sure you know this as I remember you liking Dylan

Dylan co-wrote this? I like dylan, and I can hear him singing the middle 8. Thats the only indicator of him being apart of this I can notice?.....

..."what does all this living mean, when time itself is so obscene" or something like that. My dad still cant fathom such a meeting between the 2. Dylan surely cant be a fan LOL



In a few years, i'll be a big ass dylan fan probably. I like humour in my songs, and dylan is at times very funny.

Bob is a comedian, above all else. He started out as Charlie Chaplin but now he's evolved into Sir Rigor Mortis, the tyrant king of deadpan. He's been taking the piss out of perception since 1966. I think he feels very alone and lives to amuse himself and his God.

Yeah, i know its obvious, but i love "things have changed". There is a lyric about putting a woman in a wheelbarrow or something? I swear iam not making this up, but i might be getting confused with Michael boltons famous "wheelbarrow" ballad that he never released.

"said i loved you but i lied", for title alone, must mean bolton has a sense of humour surely?

Do you have any info about dylan and Bolton? Be interesting if they worked on more then one song

Lammastide said:

it doesn't??




man, i got ripped!

Lammastide said:

I'm getting the $599 one myself

One of the easiest things in the world is to judge how other people should spend their money. I'm comfortable with the causes I support and my occasional indulgences, ymmv.

ElCapitan said:

I'm all for ease and being on both ends of a little judgement from time to time. Keeps us on our toes.

If you've reconciled your charity and indulgence, go get 'em, Tiger. Some, I fathom, haven't... and may be inclined to do so with a little prodding. The post -- and the judgement -- goes out to them... easy and unregrettable as it was.

As for you: Don't forget the extended warrantee.

I believe they're going to announce a 3g version to be released as well.
I will definitely be putting this on my shortlist of things to aquire, even if I have to swap over to Cingular.

It's just the fucking sexiest handheld gadget I've seen in ages. Good job again Apple!

Imago said:

I was going to say, no 3G support just seemed so stupid to me.

Dude when this thing hits the streets the Trio and the PC6700 are going to end up being the Jan Brady of smart phones

Imago said:

eh, gotta see how it performs in the real world enviro first. It does look promising. I'd like to see the battery life. I also don't like not having a keyboard. I'm using an 8525 now, the HTC Hermes. It gives me a hardon.

.

is it also gonna need a battery replacement after a year and half of usage?

jerseykrs said:

It does have a touch screen keyboard that pops up. I like that feature cuase it allows the phone to be thinner and look cleaner at the same time. I saw the keynote, and personally I think it's awesome. The trick of the device is to allow you to use the "keyboard" as little as possible allowing the most efficient way of getting at the information that you need. For texting and other things, the virtual touchscreen keyboard appears. Though I'm a little weary and excited at the sametime that it responsive enough not to nead a stylis.

I ended up giving my iPaq PDA away because of how frustrating it was to sit and peck at it with my stylis. Albiet a keyboard would have made it alot nicer of an experience, but I think Apple organic use of how you interact with the device is pretty crafty, if not altogether "Revolutionary".

What apple did here isn't so much reinvent the phone as the there is a smart device device out there with a touchscreen already that looks like an uglier version of the iPhone. I think what apple did was just make it all so god damned sexy looking.

Ironically, to me, this is the least "mac" looking of their devices in years. The only thing that would draw my attention to it being an Apple device is how clean and sleek it looks.

And God damned, that SOB has a version of OS-X on it?
The full blown web browser is also really nice.

I could go on and on, but I'm very impressed by it. That doesn't mean I'll run out and buy it--but it does mean, I'll dote on it for awhile.

Imago said:

yeah, I'm surprisingly not against it. Like I said, I want to see it in person first. If it IS all that, I'll end up with it cause I'm a degenerate for gadgets.

jerseykrs said:

Something Jobs said in the keynote struck me as an acknowledgement of that, and that it may be supported in the future.

I will get an iPhone, but not the first generation. Apple (like most companies, I'd think) tends to make a lot of changes/improvements with the second generation. Plus, it'll take me that long to save the money and talk myself into switching back to Cingular (I've had vastly better network and customer service with Tmobile).

SexOnWheels said:

why where have you been?

jerseykrs said:

OK, I've changed my mind.

Mutli-text messaging, being able to dial numbers directly from email, Google Maps, etc., and multi-touch being patented, I'm made up my mind to swap over to the iPhone. It'll just be a matter of whether I swap right away or wait a few months.

Imago said:

I can do all that already though.

jerseykrs said:

multi-touch is patented. No other device has it.
As for the other features that PocketPC's (and webphones with that OS) offer aren't nearly as sexy.

We have to remember: Do you want the Rachel Ray? Or the cafeteria Lunch woman?
