Sudden Stop Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Did you mention the price??? What was it? $499 for the 4gb and $599 for the 8gb. Woof! That's an expensive walkie talkie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 My phone already has an mp3 player... yes its not 8gigs, but I only ever listen to the same 20 songs, and I dont need to use the awful ITunes. Infact I hate listening to mp3s on a phone, it just doesnt feel right. My phone has a proper browser that can view websites etc... but phone screens are crap for most websites. Google Maps, I'm sure I saw a java applet for my phone that could do that... but I never leave the 1 mile radius that is the centre of Aberdeen anyway. Touch screen means finger prints I'm not convinced. When will people learn that just because it's an IPod, doesn't mean its better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roachmill Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 It sure packs some nice features but, as a phone, folks will get tired of it pretty quick: The battery life, not surprisingly, sucks.You need 2 hands to use the little fella in most cases.Touch based input for entering text is a major PITA. Running a cut down version of OS X underneath it all is pretty amazing... but I've yet to see what sort of power the processor is packing - not much I would wager given the reports of how slow web browsing is.

Fjool Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 According to Jobbs: "Apple is reinventing the phone" and that it is "five years ahead of what's on any other phone"... The only truly impressive thing is that he managed to say all this with a straight face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamnSaxon Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Still waiting for one that can make a cup of tea as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fjool Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 I hear a rumour that the iPhone is closed to 3rd-party development and user installed applications. Surely this isn't true? If it is then Apple have made a grave mistake. I guess that's one way to ensure that Apple retain their faux 'virus free' image. http://www.petitiononline.com/iphone/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roachmill Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Well that ^^ comes as a big surprise From TFA "Our argument is that a large portion of the potential market for the iPhone consists of 8O power users 8O...". Arf arf It's a consumer device plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roachmill Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Well it sure is pretty to look at. In that respect it may be the most advanced eye candy on a phone evar. The Apple guy doing the demo overdoes it saying it's "the most advanced" this and that. There's been plenty other phones been out for ages that do far more advanced stuff IMO. In a lot of cases this is thanks to allowing you to install bloomin 3rd party apps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifi Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I want to know where they got the blender! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooks Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 The hint is in the video. It is a promotional video for the Blendtec Total Blender. Is it just me or is anybody else totally fed up with the iPhone hype? I have had a PDA for some time that can do more or less everything the iPhone can do. For them to say that it is a revolutionary product blah de blah is nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
