"The Iphone looks interesting but there are other phones out there that do more and cost less. "
Scott, your mentality is part of the problem, not the solution. Apple didn't make the phone to have a smaller price and a longer bullet list of features. Most technology dinosaurs out there are still trying to one up the competition with more features, while more advanced design groups are concerned not with a feature list, but how effectively it solves the problems and satisfies the desires of the users. This is at the heart of user-centered design.
I don't need a phone that piles more apps and features and buttons on top of what I have, but I would love a phone that thoughtfully assisted me in what I actually want to do.

Apple, Inc, has touted the Iphone therefore it is now OK to take potshots at it.

Google has a much better reputation than Apple and if they come out with this phone, I will definitely switch.
