bah

I bet they'll be all over the place before the year is up... People think nothing, these days, of spending hundreds of dollars on a media player alone.


I just can't tie up $600 into my phone right now, no matter how completely awesome it is. I do covet them, but I got a 60 gig video ipod already, so it may sound like an upgrade, but it's a downgrade for me. lol Like curly fries at Jack in the Box. Socal people have to get that one. pray

bah anybody who gets this thing really needs to get their heads checked to see they still have a brain to think for themselves! I mean Apple are basically telling people that everything that isnt Apple is inferior to them and they shouldnt give anything but APPLE products the time of day!

Personally i would like to see this fail and Apple just realise they shoulda stuck with just making awesome computers! I forsee them turning into Sony...that being they have made their name and now couldnt give a flyin f*ck about anybody that doesnt give them shitloads of $$ and bring out half baked products that stupid people go out and buy without thinking! Which is exactly what they are doing here! I mean how many people REALLY NEED a phone? big deal it does all these other things, but i bet all those other "features" eat the battery power like crazy and you end out not having enough time to make a 10 second phone call cause u wasted all ur battery power on listening to music!

the battery gives you 8 hours of talk time, 250 hours of standby, and 24 hours of music playback. Is that long enough?

Now their iPod automatically will pause while they take their call (which they answer by clicking just 1 button on their headphones), then when they are done talking, it's just one more click to hang up and automatically pick back up listening right where they were when the call came in.

They'll be able to go out for a 16 hour day, listen to 12 hours of music and talk on the phone for 4. Drop the iPhone in the dock at the end of the day and do it again the next.

That sure seems a lot more convenient than flipping buttons to stop your music, taking earphones out, grabbing the phone out of your pocket, etc., then undoing it all to get back to your music.

Just like the iPod before it, once people start using the iPhone, they will wonder how they ever managed without it.

I wonder how long it'll be until the in car systems for iPods are updated to allow support making and answering calls with the iPhone.

Most people who call something 'shit' with no valid backup as to why, simply can't afford it.

Otherwise, why go out of your way to talk bad about something. I never understood people who can't just say "I don't want", "It's not my style", etc and move on.

Some people actually like to take a lot of music with them when they're on the go... I'm not going to carry 100 cds with me. That's soooo last century it's not even funny. lol

you didn't buy CDs, you bought music. Why are you letting the media the music is shipped on limit when you can listen to it?

You're in the car and see something that makes you think of a specific song you haven't listened to in 5 years. With CDs, you aren't going to have that song with you. With iPod, a couple of clicks and you can listen to not just it, but the whole album it's on.

I have all of my CDs stored away - 30 years worth of music. All of the music is on itunes/ipod. Whenever I want to, I can listen to any album I want to without looking for the CD. Tonight I decided to listen to Come, which I haven't listened to for a while. It took less than 10 seconds and the music was playing.

I'll buy one when my current contract is up. Which will be a while. Which will allow time for Apple to update it. woot!

I like my Blackberry Pearl, but it ain't no iPhone.

Fuck the haters. Apple makes exceptionally beautiful, functional objects and I heart them.

biggrin
