So, anyone get the Iphone yet?

Now if they come out with an iPod which is like the iPhone with wireless and everything *except* the phone, then I'd be all over that like a rash :)

I'd love a video iPod/wireless web surfer/email/photoalbum thingy like that :D

Cheers

They might come out with one, it wouldn't surprise me. But for me, one device (to rule them all) is still better than two. I just need my 3g, to-do list, and enough memory for all my music and I'm sold. Of course, I didn't get an iPod until the 30GB iPod Photo for similar reasons.
 

Until Apple gets their manufacturing act together, I'd not ever consider shelling out that kind of money on that device. Everyone I know is on their third or fourth iPod, and not because they're upgrading (intentionally, anyway). I still have the 20gb iRiver I got four years ago. It's not as svelte as the iPod, but it's durable. No user replaceable battery is a crock, too, considering the issues they've had with the iPods, and (likely) how many more charge cycles the phones will have to go through.

In the corporate environment, they're going to have a hard time without ActiveSync and/or Blackberry Server integration. Every place I deal with had already told people that they were unsupported. Still haven't been able to find out if they support remote-kill functionality, either.
 

I'm still using a 20GB monochrome iPod I got for Christmas 2004, which receives at least eight hours of usage a day. I know plenty of folks who have similar experiences. I also charge mine daily and have had no significant drop-off in battery life.

Ditto. My iPod from 2003 is still going strong.
 

Right now I'm listening to my second-gen iPod, bought summer 2002.

and up until this spring, I used my iBook for seven years

For these reasons, I bought a Macbook a month and a half ago. granted, its flimsiness worries me, compared to the old clamshell iBook, but yeah, i'm going to have to say that Apple makes durable products. This is why people think of Apples as "slow:" frequently, you're using one waaaay past the expiration dates of comparable PCs

I'm going to get an iPhone, but I'm waiting a year, or at least for the second gen, as I did with the iPod.

To this list I've added #6: You have to deal with AT&T, the worst company for service of any kind you will ever find on the face of the earth. The stupidest thing they could ever do when they bought Cingular was to drop Cingular's name and use their own tarnished one.

I'm sorry, you seem to have confused AT&T with Qwest, who has been double billing me for my 7MB internet connection for the last three months.

Sir, you have obviously never dealt with DirecTV. I'm pretty sure they only hire people who genuinely hate other human beings.
