I thnk both of you missed the point of my post. The iPhone is not what the post is about, it’s about Apple’s change of direction and how the iPhone is a lot more than a phone, it’s a computer. Comparing it to other phones or iPods completely misses the point. It’s a new class of device with a new UI running a mature OS. Whether it does well or bombs I give Apple, Inc. a huge amount of credit for pushing where no one has gone before and doing it in an elegant and thoughtful way.

I think the most significant aspect of the IPhone is that is run on os x, the end user will maybe be able to install app on it and the other part is the amazing browser. but i agree with you drew it would be nice to see an ipod with all of that technology, video ipod maybe.

non the less it is kind of amazing and it demonstrate that once again apple can create a better product then everyone else.

I want a better cleaner computer, with all the nuts and wistles in it. I like the iphone. Looks so fun, I have verizon, sucks. I love gagets like the iphone. But will the screen get dirty and smug. I think they need to add more battery life in to it. I hope they come out with an ipod with this technology of a touch screen with WIFI, so you could use the net with your ipod and do not have to sign a 2 year contract just to use the phone.

Jamie: thanks for the comment. In thinking more about this, offline this evening, I keep coming back to how important this announcement is and over the next week it will be interesting to see how it’s spun both by the media and by Apple.

Your old iBook is still a Mac and while faster, cooler, newer is sometimes better, if it ain’t broke, don’t be too quick to replace it. However, an iPhone… now that might be worth having when they make it to Europe.

[...] Apple has unveiled the iPhone. More info from Apple here. Here’s how the iPhone stacks up against other smartphones. The price will be $499-599, which, yes, is steep — but perhaps not so bad when you consider it’s not only a phone, bus also a 2 MP camera, an MP3 player, a Web browsing device, and, as Richard Wanderman observes, essentially a computer.

I couldn’t agree more. I thought it was a fantastic keynote and i’m very excited about where Apple is going. They just seem to know how to make devices that work the way that people want them to work. Can you imagine Microsoft making something like the iPhone? Look at the Zune! Squirt me? Gimmie a break.

I’m turning into a Mac zealot. God knows what I will be like when I eventually update my old iBook and get a MacBook Pro :)
