No HSDPA is sad. They are using Cingular afterall. Of course, it will allow them to add Sprint in the future. Guess I'll have to drop Sprint unless I wait. :(
2. A 2 megapixel camera isn't enough. You can't make decent prints with that.
3. 8 gigs is too small. How are you going to take videos with you?
4. No expandable memory to add more SD cards.
5. Price. I know people will buy it, I probably will, but a lot of people can't afford it.]]>Jan 9th 2007 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/Jan 9th 2007 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/Jan 9th 2007 3:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/
True innovators in their respective industry's: Apple, Google, & Nintendo.]]>Jan 9th 2007 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/
I love it, even when Apple follows Microsoft's lead, they are innovating. Ah, the glory of branding. Next up, Apple enters the market with a video game console, and all the lemming Macheads coo about how innovative Apple is for taking another cue from Microsoft.]]>Jan 9th 2007 4:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/Jan 9th 2007 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/Jan 9th 2007 4:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/crazy mac people....

God knows they are making much better margins on all these status trinkets than they ever did on their computer products.]]>Jan 9th 2007 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/
Shmoe

1. I'd have to drop Verizon. It sucks that you cannot buy a phone and use it everywhere.

2. I'd prefer a min of 4Mp but 2's a good start. I wouldn't be attempting many prints as well.

3. Clearly I'm going to need a video iPod. At least now I know what the screen is going to look like.

4. Bummer. It'd have been nice if it had a transflash slot.

5. Price isn't bad. Treo's aren't much cheaper really and they simply don't have the UI and quality of functionality (low rez screens) etc.

I'm going to hold off this year and in 2008 I'll see if the Apple iPhone makes sense.

Apple is just a fad]]>Jan 9th 2007 3:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/Jan 9th 2007 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/
That's actually quite funny, since AR represents The Beatles and is owned by the band members or remaining family. It is not for sale at any price.]]>Jan 9th 2007 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/

I was watching the keynote coverage thinking Jobs was wearing a brown shirt. It was actually black! As shown in other snaps, such as the one on this page:

It's ironic that the gadget experts either have a crap camera or don't know how to work the exposure controls!]]>Jan 9th 2007 5:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/Jan 9th 2007 6:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/

First close-to-correct usage of 'drops' from Engadget in an article title in months :)]]>Jan 9th 2007 7:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/*thinks back to US vs Microsoft in which the DOJ and all 20 of the states that have starbucks agreed that microsoft is and demanded that windows split from microsoft because of the insanely obvious antitrust violations*

wtf is wrong with them...
i mean im all for apple taking over the world but damn when this is all said and done even microsoft will be suing them for stooping to a level of ignorance previously alloted (and copyrighted no doubt) to microsoft alone [with target pulling a close second] ]]>Jan 9th 2007 9:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/ So many people are in love with everything that apple does

Actually, Bill Gates is top in the list, releasing as "innovations" whatever Apple released almost 5 years ago.

Many Apple bashers like to say that Apple "is not an innovating company, because XYZ was done before" - being XYZ something as broad as screens and pixels. What are you expecting, alien technology?

BTW, I didn't saw these guys rushing to the stores when Apple introduced the Mac in 1984, the Newton in 1993, or the iPod in 2001, just to name three products that changed the industry ever since and whose innovation value cannot be denied today. But I usually see (or read) them whispering about Vista, the last Windows Mobile PDA or the Zune, introduced years after the products they own their "inspiration" to.

These people have the guts to call Mac users "zealots".

I won't be surprised if those unimpressed by Apple's iPhone, will woe and cheer in 2012, when Microsoft finally releases its own phone. And, I guess, rebrands Windows Mobile as "Windows Oiga" to match "Windows Vista" (in spanish, "vista" is "view" and "oiga" is "hear" - and both sound plain silly).]]>Jan 10th 2007 6:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-drops-computer-from-name/]]>Jan 10th 2007 11:57AM
