Ronald Ken Just a matter of following the sites. The iPhone went on sale at 10am NZ time =6pm NY with most stores having around 100-200 people lining up. iTunes 7.3 is also now available here www.apple.com |

| 564005 | 2007-06-30 08:35:00 | $2000 USD? Is it for real? :yuck: That's too too much. I think I want an IBM ThinkPad with 9 cell battery, and an mobile internet for that kinda money $1000 over means computer price not cell phone. And still a lot better than one damn iphone. | PedalSlammer (8511) | ||

That would be for the cost of a 2 year contract with very competitive calling rates + the cost of the iPhone PedalSlammer. |

One normal cell phone plus 2 year contract = less than $1000 for me. iphone doesn't have much features as a normal phone why bother getting it, and most of the products distributing at the moment probably beta products. :lol: |

The details of the calling rates offered are much more competitive than what we get in NZ. They have pretty much sold out of the first batch of around 1 million phones over the weekend. Microsoft still hasn't sold 1 million Zunes in over 6 months. www.boston.com |

| 564010 | 2007-07-01 21:46:00 | Fair enough winmacguy . However, you have to have a use for all the frilly bits that they are basing their sales pitch on . Like M$Word for example . The theory is that 90% of the users only use 10% of the features . For example . How many of us have bought - say a new electronic backscratcher, and after a couple of ecstatic hours found that really, only the bit on the left shoulderblade itches? That then, is the prime use of a gadget . Take our money off us and give us pleasure for a short time till the next new, bigger, brighter one appears on the market . Forget the hype, not only from apple but all of the others as well . They are all into designing a better gadget . Ken ;) |

| 564011 | 2007-07-01 21:53:00 | From the numerous reports that are out about the iPhone after the weekend, I would have to say that it is the GUI experience offered by the iPhone that is what people are raving about rather than the amount of features or the quality of a particular feature. According to most Blackberry or eMate users, it is the keyboard and the generally awkward menu design that has been "adapted" from a normal computer and put onto the smaller device that is very mediocre when compared to the iPhone which was the whole point of the device in the first place. I think this article offers a good explanation of everything; Touch me, call me, I am the iPhone It has been dubbed iPerbole and it describes the fascination bordering on pathological obsession with Apple's iPhone that has gripped the United States since the device was dangled in front of the world in January. www.smh.com.au I have a feeling that there are a lot of apps and functions still to be developed for the iPhone that we haven't seen yet. In terms of a better gadget arriving soon...Apple is already working on a couple of updated models. |
