 Does it love you back?BTW, my mom called this morning. She and my father saw the Iphone media blitz and wanted to know if I wanted one for my upcoming birthday. I thanked her and declined. a)I had this horrible picture of my mom and dad joining the crush to get one of these overhyped dongles. Now, my mom a tough negotiator who usually got what she wanted, but in this case she would be outmatched. b) It's overpriced. c) It's version 1.0 d) It would require switching carriers to what I am sure is some hideously expensive service plan (I heard iPhones are locked to AT&T for 5 years) e) While I respect the Apple operating system, I found iHardware to not be technologically superior to any alternative and that most of the additional cost is associated with brand and sleek packaging. *I cannot f**cking believe that they are pulling that 'no removable battery' sh*t again. Didn't they learn anything from Ipod 1.0?

Even pricing is likely to follow what happened with iPod. Apple is striking into a market chock full of successful competition including Nokia, Motorola, Ericson, and Qualcomm. Don't expect the competition that has access to and experience with 3G networks to remain dormant. If nothing else, Apple has stirred up many bees nests in an industry that was earlier betting on (and fighting about) $20 cell phones. Suddenly the industry does not look so ‘commoditized’ anymore. |

So, what did everybody think of Mayor Street making an ass of himself on National TV over one of these things?
