| 687547 | 2008-07-15 08:50:00 | Same here and I won't have any either. I=idiot Having sold 1 million of them over the weekend I would say that Apple would be getting the last laugh there. :D Also from that Canadian blog (as opposed to an Apple site) link I posted before Here's how the iPhone is going to change the world: 1) Long tail economics. The iPhone is the perfect platform for showing how simple, useful software with mass appeal that's priced at 99 cents or a few dollars can rake it more money over a longer period of time than over-priced bloatware that costs $100 a pop. 2) Next-generation advertising. Google already has a lucrative web-based advertising business. Imagine what would happen if it sold premium map placement or identification for a fee? 3) Mobile gaming / casual gaming. It's no surprise that big players like EA have jumped on the iPhone. But the amazing thing is with the iPhone SDK, it may be possible for smaller players to make major inroads as well. 4) Instantaneous news-flow. With the iPhone, average people can become mobile newsrooms. |

Anyone want to get all excited about how many CPU's Intel sold in the last week? No one? OK....me neither. That would be because an Intel CPU is only part of the whole package - the iPhone is the whole platform. I would only care that Intel is selling more than AMD. :D |

| 687551 | 2008-07-15 21:08:00 | Funnily enough, while it cant do copy / pasting, while the camera doesnt do video, while it sucks that half the apps dont auto-rotate nicely like others do, while I dont have an MSN app (Using Meebo for now), Im still actually really impressed with it :) Sure, its *just* a phone, but its a hell of a lot more of a phone than my 3x iMates, Blackberry, Nokia e90, and a handful of other phones Ive had in the last few years have ever been :) Its gotta be the one phone that increased my working productivity within the first week, rather than me playing around trying to figure out how to do X, Y or Z, or hunting for something to do A, B or C... Im no apple fanboy, their desktops are overhyped unix boxes that seem to be missing or have had half stuff moved, think that iPods arent the greatest how you're "locked in" to iTunes (Yeah I know, ml_ipod / winamp etc...), but when all is said and done, Im actually really impressed and feel that its two years worth of investment well-spent. Vodafone on the other hand are horribly useless, taking forever, providing the worst customer experience possible :( Oh well </ravings> |

| 687552 | 2008-07-16 00:32:00 | I bought a new phone on Monday. Sony Ericsson 910i. 4GB M2 card and came with a USB card reader. Large crystal clear screen. Came with headphones. Has a motion sensor just like the iPhones. Looks 50,000 times better. And i don't have to pay $100 month just to keep it. |

Apple product head Greg Joswiak, in an apparent attempt to clear things up about the iPhone’s lack of copy-and-paste, has said that the absence of this feature was justified because it has been classified as a low priority by Apple. He continues to say that in Apple’s ongoing feature wishlist, other features were simply judged far more important than copy-and-paste. Excuse me, what was that? Addressing copy-and-paste as a missing feature due to low priority seems a bit unreasonable and rather unnecessary. Stating that the feature was deemed “not so important” by Apple makes it seem like nothing more than another PR twist. I have personally done vast amounts of research about the missing copy-and-paste feature, in a post titled Copy-and-Paste still missing in iPhone; Blame Apple’s Obsessive Nature, I explain the rational thinking behind classifying the missing feature under Interface Inconsistency Issues as the underlying culprit to being absent on the iPhone. So Chill, Which iPhone do you have? |

| 687554 | 2008-07-16 03:17:00 | Not quite yesterdays news yet Metla Apple sells one million iPhones in three days www.nzherald.co.nz According to Forbes Business, the iPhone is reported as sold out in 21 US States Shoppers hunting for iPhone 3Gs can still find them — if they’re willing to get up early and, in some cases, drive long distances. As of 6:00 a.m. EDT Tuesday, all three models (8GB black, 16 GB black or white) of the hot-selling device were sold out in 21 states, according to Jim Neal, a retired PR man living near Kansas City who took the time to check each of Apple’s 188 U.S. retail stores using the company’s iPhone availability widget. apple20.blogs.fortune.cnn.com Customers waiting in line earlier today to buy one www.imagef1.net.nz |

| 687555 | 2008-07-16 04:07:00 | I got myself a 16GB White. Interestingly enough, compare it to a similar Smartphone in NZ (Not in the US) and its not too expensive when you start factoring in a data plan etc. Im not really missing the copy / paste too much surprisingly. The keyboards nice, Ive really got quite used to it now! Autocorrecting my occasional mis-hit of a button is brilliant! GPS works well, got a lil lost yesterday and it gave me accurate directions to my destination. Sadly those who seem the most sour are those who've not actually tried it, or cant afford the plans. Yeah it costs more, but its not *that* much when you look at it compared with other smartphones. Is an iMate JasJam out of your price range, with a monthly data allowance? Then an iPhone possibly is too... I dont really mind too much, its a business expense here :) Either way, yes, it is "just a phone", but it also has a lot of other cool things that a regular phone doesnt have. Browsing PF1 actually *looks* good on this phone, unlike all my other smartphones. Dont like them? Thats fine, you dont hafta read this thread & take a knock at them. Personally Im actually really pleased with it, and Ive spent a few minutes, shown it to a few other people around the place and they too are now honestly interested in getting one after having used it for more than just 30 seconds, or reading reviews... |
