IPhone...IPhone...I want an IPhone...
Oh my god. This is the first product that I can honestly say I will purchase, no matter what the price is. I'm not one to watch product releases, wait in line to be the first to buy the product, or even a real supporter of Apple. But sweet mother of all that is right in this world.
Watch this product release of the IPhone...
Top reasons I will own an IPhone as soon as it's possible.
1. My current phone is nearly broken
2. I couldn't decide between blackberry and treo because both are heavy and not actually that awesome
3. IPhone will replace my IPod, which I am wholly dependent on and it, too, is nearly broken
4. I have to type 5 buttons just to be able to send an SMS with my current phone...on IPhone, it's 'google easy'.
5. IPhone plays video with incredible quality, meaning I can watch my video podcasts while on the road
6. IPhone has a 2 megapixel camera, which will replace my current digital camera, which is completely broken
7. IPhone is slender and cool looking, and will fit easily into my pocket
8. IPhone has email that syncs up with your computer email account so I won't have to read everything twice.
9. IPhone has bluetooth, so I don't have to use a headpiece with a wire
10. IPhone will sync all contacts from online contacts so if I ever accidentally drop my phone in the toilet, I don't lose all my friends, like it used to be with pre-Iphone portable talking devices...

I want an iphone too :)
From LiveDigitally.com and some of the reasons why I just bought a new Cingular 8525...
1. No streaming video. So you have this beautiful device with amazing capabilities and a gorgeous screen and it can’t stream video. I get that they want to make more money by selling video (such as episodes of The Office) via iTunes, but there are literally over a dozen phones on the market today that can play 30fps video.
2. Sub-par Internet access. Cingular EDGE instead of UMTS or Sprint/Verizon EVDO? Huh? So it can render Web pages really well, but they take an hour to load!
3. No 10-key. I don’t care if it’s considered outdated, when I am in the car, I need the ability to dial without looking. Not up for debate. Either make an amazing force-feedback system, or give me a dialpad.
4. No Outlook/Exchange sync. We’re supposed to buy the most expensive phone out there, which are primarily purchased by business people, and it doesn’t synchronize with our email and calendar automatically? Third-party applications are not an acceptable solution on “the best” phone.
5. Locked-down OS. If they want to spoon-feed us content, I understand. But to restrict the applications on the thing? Ridiculous.
I can actually go on and on. At the end of the day, the GUI innovations and nice form factor (okay, amazing form factor) simply aren’t enough to get this to the masses. The whole two-finger interaction model is cool, but I don’t see it pushing consumers over the edge. Furthermore, the argument that people ready to buy a $400 iPod will spend an extra $200 to get the phone just doesn’t hold water.
OK guys, it's been almost 3 months!!!
I miss you!
