Hmm ... without seeing what all it can do I'm going to say it's over-engineered. Too many bells and whistles to integrate with the phone, which runs counter to Apple's identity of making products that are attractive because of their simplicity.

Tech companies have been marrying the phone to the PDA for almost a decade now, and they're still not successful. Consumers seem to be pretty clear that these hybrid devices are NOT what they want.

looks cool but $499 for the 4G and $599 for the 8G is too much for me... I love gadgets and electronics but the cell phone is one thing I hate.

Not having my phone working because I let the woman watch a movie, and she killed the battery, would suck.

With an LCD that large I wonder how long the battery lasts regardless of whether you watch a movie or not.

How long can a PSP go?

iPhone's battery is 5 hours talk/web/video, 16 hours video.

It's here, or will be anyway. Link

First, and foremost, it ain't cheap (duh); $499 for a 4 GB model and $599 for the 8 GB model. Second, its offered only on Cingular. It runs OSX, and does a whole [censored]-ton of things. Think of it like a geeky swiss army knife. Its an ipod and its a phone, but thats like the least it can do. No point in typing it up here, just follow the link.

That thing is pretty nice! Now, if Uncle Sam could purchase that for me and get rid of my CrackBerry.

I'll reserve my judgment till I get my hands on it. As far as price is concerned, I wonder if thats with or without a contract. Also, the base price of the RAZR when it first came out was $500, so its nothing too ridiculous.

If Apple brings out a sick bag, will they call it iPuke?

I love that thing!! Don't know if the wife will let me drop the $500 on one though...

iPhone also introduces an entirely new user interface based on a large multi-touch display and pioneering new software, letting you control everything with just your fingers.

Glad I won't have to use my toes any more to use my cell phone.
