iPhone doomed from the start?

seems like it's a big hit-

I would have hoped more people would be pissed at the way they are leading them around on a leash

Hehe just goes to show that reason and logic fall down in the face of media hype and frenzy!

Nice find P.

You dudes have too much time on your hands. The posts in this thread are longer than a Perris vs. Patriot debate (sorry Perris).

w00 Saz hear that, we beat Perris vs Patriot


Will it blend? Of course, much like an iPod I would imagine

@NetRyder: I love the story of how Palm lost control of PalmOS. The WebSDK went over like a lead balloon I think.

@NetRyder + Aprox: I really hope we don't get iPhone threads rivalling the RAZR threads.

As I predicted...

Simply making it a part of the iPod brand will insure it's instant success.

I actually made my own iPhone a while ago. It was two iPod Nanos with a long piece of string and a tin can. The iPod was taped to the side of the can. Made the voice quality a bit worse but it worked

Should have had it patented.... then you could sue Apple for every Penny... i mean Cent.

Back on topic...

This is from Apple's website, so there is that dreaded marketing involved -- but it provides some new information on talk time and compares some various features with other smartphones. Of course Apple won't include any data that shows where the iPhone might lack in comparison to the others, so don't be surprised.

I'd buy this phone IF they allowed third party software AND they let me continue with spring

BUT they would rather force me to use MY hardware the way THEY want me to

/not getting this device

Just in case you haven't heard, 3rd-party web apps will be used on the iPhone, using AJAX and Web 2.0 technologies. It's not completely open like we'd hoped, but it's better than nothing.

^ It's only AT&T (Cingular) at this point as far as I know.

 

[Sazar]

Yah, was it a 5 years exclusive?

I am hoping not

 

[muzikool]

I think it's somewhere between 3-5 years.
