firmware that bricks unlocked and/or jailbreaked phones intentionally! They can say what they want and spint eh press how they like to look innocent, but when you have some of the best software & hardware engineers in Silicon Valley it's hard to believe that, after releasing several previous...

WHo even put the word "cumbersome" in this thread?! lmao I don't knwo but I equate annoying & frustrating to cumbersome and having to do a reboot because Windows Xp and OS X decided there where some vital updates is annoying. Lunux does it w/o the reboot so that's great in my book. And as said...

Reboting is ALWAYS cumbersome! I use Mac OS X @ work (reboots every 5-6 updates..generally when it's a security fix), Windows @ home (reboot every 3 updates) and Ubuntu @ home (never ahd to reboot for updates so far)...Ubuntu right now is winning in the updatet convenience category!

iPwned - all Stevie J did is ensure that (a) you don't get back the $200 that everyone else will now save -after all the phone isn't worth more than $399 is it? (b) HE keeps ALL your money, anyway you look at it, rather than you go and spend that $100 at some other store like amazon. I only feel...

You must've had a different experience ffrom the thousands I saw queueing up to get that $599 (now $99) phone day 1 & 2...as a matter of fact it was only after the first week that you could really stroll in. Not to mention activation problems ealy bugs etc and i'd say $200 wass a lot to me a...

I don't think it'll change perceptions at all - just willingness to buy despite perceived flaws. In my acse i'd much more willingly pay $399 for a phone w/o 3G (e.g. the treo 680) than to pay $599 for the same (which is almost like two phones). The iPhone still has the same flaws, but at the...

It would for me...I'm not sure I'm into a convergence device with so little storage...I already have a good phone so it makes more sense to ge the rest separatey. The iPod classic is just what I want in terms of that..but the screen is the same size as my treo 680 so no improvement in watching...

It should've STARTED at $299 and dropped to $199 really!

You might as well get a new cheaper 8GB iPhone then man ntil gen 2 arrives! Even if you go for the 3G come 2008 for $399 it's not looking bad at all now! Same as i paid for my treo 680 so I'd be game for that price.

Yep the iPod Touch is lovely - exactly what I (and plenty ppl) wanted and the pricing isn't bad - if the nano can sell for $200 this'll do well... 8 Gb for $249 isn't bad. The iPod classic can double as a portable HD though at 80 & 160 GB!! Choice, choices, choices!

Well that must suck a wee bit for you early adopters, but THIS is more the price range I'm comfy with Apple Keynote on iPhone Also got the standard pay-to-play ringtones coming in: ringtones for 99c plus song

:rolleyes: Archie's back in style!

How come you never get the point? Surur restated Jobs' claim on the 3 things the iPhone would bring 1. best cellphone 2. best iPod and 3. best mobile internet... Braj is obviously disputing statement 2 by showing that previous iPods do the job better with larger storage and more control via...

I see this thread is still alive and kicking..literally :D

Just wipe the harddrive adn install XP and/or ubuntu (Linux) - simple no?;)
