I've never been much of an Apple person, but their new iPhone is just about the dopest thing that has ever doped. If you don't feel like sitting through the hour and half long keynote speech about it like I did, here's a youtube video to give you a better idea of what it can do. The 4gb version will be $500 and the 8gb version will be $600. The rub here is that they are Cingular exclusive. Anyone here a Cingular rep that can get me a sweet deal?

I like it, I like it alot. It would satisfy my need for both a new ipod and a new phone.
Only complaints I have about it is that thing would get smudged up in seconds with no stylis, and it costs as much as a PS3.

Uhh..... you guys are nuts. Jobs is putting a sub-par piece of technology on the market. The cellular capabilities of this are already a step behind. If I were you, I'd wait til the bugs are worked out and they put 3G in it.

That's fine, I hate talking on the phone anyway. If I want to get out of a conversation I'll just say, "I'm sorry, my cellular capabilities are a step behind. I'm going to have to call you back from a land line."

Yeah... talk about asshats. Typical Jobs move on the Cisco deal. I don't blame them. They had paperwork to them the night before and Apple never signed it. The bitch is that he'll get out of it too.

I'm sensing a little Steve Jobs animosity here, Hawkes. Wanna talk about it?

haha... that's was funny brent. No, I actually think the guy is a genius. I'm just shocked that he put out a mediocre product.... very much unlike him. Inrespect to the legal issue, he's so stuck on himself that he probably figures his position and influence in the world will win over Cisco.

Thats how the appleworld article makes it out to be. Jobs will win only because...they're Apple.

OK... for starters it's not 3G. Why in the world would you create such a product and not make it 3G? Email.... Yahoo!'s Go service? Huh? why? Why not use a real push email service like what is embedded in Microsoft's latest exchange server... or better yet.... why not promote your own .mac service. Music.... it doesn't interact wiht iTunes? huh? 3rd party apps.... this is a huge opportunity in the mobile space. Apple will be putting off some people with this one... especially without having a real email support mechanism. Oh and nice screen... especially when you put it up to your cheek..... ever wonder how greasy your skin really can be?

So.. it doesn't interact with iTunes the same way that a regular iPod does?

No... but also keep in mind that this probably won't be out for at least a year... I'm figuring 2008. He still has some major hurdles to jump over.... FCC approval and all that.
