surur - Great demonstration of the "hype" factor. Basically, one month later, things are pretty much as they were before the announcement (Palm is even up 3% relative to Apple). Marc

I assume it's started to dawn on the iPhone fanboys that there world didn't stop when Apple announced their product. By the time it comes out, there will be a number of other phones sharing many of their features, and even some products with new features. The iPhone is going to be a terrific...

Well, archie is painfully ignorant of some things. I don't think anyone begrudges his opinion, it's just that he states many things as fact that just aren't so. Frankly, I think this whole board should be closed; it serves no beneficial purpose that I can see. Marc

No, Apple thinks they do everything best; they wouldn't allow another email program. Marc

No, I'm not really interested in the iPhone from a development perspective. Apple is WAY too controlling. Marc

So it can sell 5% as many as iPods, but be more popular? You are just spouting nonsense, as usual. Marc p.s. The typical archie modus operandi is, when proven wrong, to pull a humpty-dumpty and claim that words mean what he wants them to.

More nonsense from you. Why would there be a huge number of hits on iPod, when it's been around for years? IT'S NOT NEWS. To be as big as iPod, it would have to be sold to EVERY one of Cingular's customers in the US. And why would I be in denial; I have no dog in this fight. Marc

More popular than the iPod? Right! Marc

The thread should die because it's basically a soapbox for you to demonstrate your ignorance. Marc

Archie - There are so many untruths in your last post that I shake my head in disbelief. I give up; it's impossible to argue with a moron, and I'm content to let other readers figure out for themselves who is right. Marc

Archie - You keep demonstrating your IGNORANCE. The AOL email is completely free (no need to sign up for AOL), as in FREE. And the domain is FREE - try it yourself. And there is no commercial IMAP service that is optimized for mobile solutions, if you're referring to P-IMAP. None. (No fair...

Free push IMAP service has been around for a while; you can get it now at AOL and they'll give you a domain for free as well... Marc p.s. Archie - You're just making everything up, just like Cramer.

Whatever, it's not going to be 1 1/2 years of free service. That's just made up stuff. Marc

All AT&T and Cingular talk about are increasing revenues and margins; I don't think giving away their most profitable services would be a great step in that direction. The Cingular guy on the conference call says that the iPhone "has lived up to the hype and then some" and that it's both the...

This story is COMPLETELY uncorroborated; AFAIK, it's the usual Cramer BS. Marc

A real keyboard will be a necessity for many users; there's no touchscreen technology that will change that. Marc

I still think the big stinker here will be battery life, but we'll see. A smallish battery, fast processor, and a hankering to browse or listen to music or get your mail pushed to you = less than a day of use for semi-power users and up. Something to think about: These non power-users who...

I was wondering about cases (for people who don't want their screens scratched) and how the touch sensitive screen will react to it. Also, how that nice flat surface will look with a screen protector on it - ugh. Bottom line is that there are a zillion different phones because variety is a...

95% of users just want a phone. Marc

Treo came out in late 2002; why do you use 1999 as where they are stuck. And the funny thing to me is that everyone is in a rush to proclaim it the killer of Palm, Blackberry, WM, etc. - and yet NOBODY has experience with it beyond a demo and maybe a few minutes hands-on. Marc
