iPhone

When they presented it, they stated £300.

And Kids will still buy then. You say cingular has the contract for them. Cingular isnt available over here, so will it be available on other networks?

I sure hope so. I want one badly :) Apple is class. The touch-screen is what I'm most curious about. Most touch-screen gadgets on the market are bullshit because of the delay. I'm sure Apple is up to the task to perfect the touch-screen.

I think it's a cool idea but the price tag is kinda high for me. And unless it can be used with T-Mobile, I won't be able to use it.

I don't see how kids buying it is apple's fault. they designed the product specifically to replace blackberry's and the like. If some rich kid wants to get one, it's not apple's problem.

I assume there will be a European carrier. What does AT&T have over there? T-mobile is actually pretty unpopular in the states, so it's probably not going to be released with them (at least not in america). I know t-mobile is huge in Europe, so maybe it will go with them in that market.


The touch screen is amazing. Like I said I saw the multi-touch sensor a few months ago. At the time though it was on a really big screen and they were doing a lot of impractical things with it. I'm glad to see someone found a good use for it.

I'm pretty sure Rogers will carry it in Canada muaaah. iPhone must surely spark innovation out of its competitors.

its waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too expensive. a normal person wont be able to afford it. i think it will sky rocket when its price goes down.

etc.

And also, imagine how fragile the screen will be. 3.5inches, and no cover, and its going to be used everyday by some people. Fat chance of it not breaking.

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking. My iPod already is sorta scratched even though I'm like really really really really careful. I can't imagine how quick it would take for the iPhone to scratch, crack, or even just plain break (my brother's nintendo ds has a cracked lcd screen, so it works, but you can barely see the game where it is cracked).
Now, if you have a quite large device that in your pocket a lot, getting taken out all the time, and has a sensitive touch screen with no cover, it will probably break in less than 5 days. :rolleyes:
I wouldn't want to get this even if it was unbreakable (I never use my cell phone).

(I admit though, if I were a rich and spoiled I would be like "PLEASE!?!?! PLEASE CAN YOU GET ME A iPHONE?!?!? PLEASE?!?! :D" :o Because, honestly, with all practical things agruements aside, that is the coolest thing ever. :cool:

yeah, the idea is cool... shit but then it's already been around for a while.. touch screen.. phones.. music.. INTERNET.. it's nothing amazing.. it's just a company packing as much media into one device as possible.. i bet if i got a grant to designa touchscreen/phone/camera/mp3/internet/console/(undisclosed due to i'm thinking about actually making this) <.<

apple are just ahead of their competitors is all.. and grats to them.. but another year, another ipod.. the ideas have been around for years so whatever but apple have arsed around so this is their turn to shine i guess.

Hmm... it's nice. but for a younger person it's pointless. everyone has an mp3 anyway, and everyone has a phone.

Sucks that they only put a 2.0 camera on it. That's weak. my phone has a 2.0 and it's nearly a year old now...

i think the best camera is the Sony Ericsson k800... 3.2mega pixel camera.

5mp is the best camera phone quality.

It's deffinetly a weak camera. How often do you take pictures with your camera though?

The more I think about it the more I like the touch screen idea, and the lack of a number pad. I can't remember the last time I actually dialed a number by hand.
