will the iTunes thing change to finish the setup or what ? Should I wait it out ?]]>Jun 30th 2007 2:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/

I love my new iPhone!]]>Jul 2nd 2007 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/
This is no different then the 360, PS3 sales. Forget about day one. Show me numbers 6 months from now. That being said come January if sales aren't where the want them to be expect Jobs's RDF to be on high gear to spin it. I still believe that price is going to be the ultimate buzzkill on the iPhone. But I think Apple knows that. they have a history of starting their prices off high for the sucke...I mean faithful and dropping it if there is justification. I expect a price drop before the holiday shopping season.]]>Jun 30th 2007 2:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/

Would like an official Apple answer and explanation to this one:

Is the bluetooth file transfer CRIPPLED on the iPhone?

I'm a musician. With other bluetooth enabled Cingular/AT&T phones I can create my own ringtones from scratch on my computer and load them via bluetooth onto my phone.

Considering Apple is a champion of personal creativity, please tell me how I can do this with my iPhone. If it's not possible, please tell me why. Keep in mind, i just paid $600 plus tax for this thing.

That's part of why I didn't get one.

On topic: There are still quite a few in the Las Vegas metro area at ATT stores.]]>Jun 30th 2007 3:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/
Transferring files over Bluetooth is a feature, it doesn't HAVE to be implemented as part of the spec. Just because you think it should be there doesn't mean they are require or will put it there.]]>Jun 30th 2007 3:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/
Here's an idea:

Create your ringtones on your PC, then upload them to http://www.myxertones.com, then send them to your phone. It's not a multimedia message, it's merely a text message with a link to download the file from their server.

Just a thought.]]>Jun 30th 2007 3:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/Jun 30th 2007 3:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/Jun 30th 2007 3:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/Jun 30th 2007 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/Jun 30th 2007 3:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/
They gladly accept my payment every month, but when I need service because a phone that I bought through them no longer works, they are closed and are unwilling to do anything about it. I have had an account from AT&T/Cingular/at&t since 1998, and this is how they treat people who are not there to buy an iPhone?]]>Jun 30th 2007 3:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/
do you stop visiting your local grocery store when you go for milk in the middle of the night and they are closed, yet you can see the stock people filling the shelves? talk about self-centered.]]>Jun 30th 2007 10:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/
And I think it is self-centered to think that I should go without a phone just so you can get an iPhone. This is different than them being closed because it is not normal business hours, they just closed to cater to a small group of people. I demand that [Circuit City|Best Buy|other electronics store] close down early to prepare the next time Microsoft releases a new OS, Zune, etc. and not allow sales of any Mac products. Would that be OK?]]>Jul 3rd 2007 6:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/
So it seems somewhat hypocritical and capitalistic to deny musicians the ability to create their own ringtones to use on the iphone. I don't really think I'm being unreasonable in thinking that.]]>Jun 30th 2007 3:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/Jun 30th 2007 3:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/Jun 30th 2007 10:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/
While the iPhone is cool and all, the activation process thru iTunes is the most amazing development for the wireless industry ever. Truly an Apple designed workflow.

Anyone notice that Apple's availability checker is updated at 9pm? Is that true for tonight, or did I wait 12 hours in vain?]]>Jun 30th 2007 3:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/Jul 1st 2007 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/
I think they made a lot of them.

anyways... some people are just pointing out that the iphone has got a lot of problems... sorry if that upsets you...]]>Jun 30th 2007 5:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/Jun 30th 2007 5:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/
You are just an uninformed asshole. You cry about a lack of foolish features and complain and about the cost without having a clue about how much the contained hardware actually cost. Not to mention the R&D involved.

You and your kind are the types that get all excited about jobs next keynote. predict foolish things and then feel betrayed when they don't come to pass. If the iPhone doesn't fit your needs then don't buy it. There are other options available for you. You need to edit excel files? Great! get something with Windows Mobile on it. You need an integrated GPS for traversing the Congo? Great! By a phone with that capability. If you don't need a real web browser, a large capacity in a cell phone, and integrated iPod, WiFi, or want OS X in a cell phone then move along.]]>Jun 30th 2007 8:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/
Is that any reason to launch a global campaign of hate and speculative disinformation ?.

Do so many people find it so hard to sit and watch, read ( and ignore would be preferable) the enjoyment of others.

That's what I'm getting here overwhelmingly - the vibe is that too many people are really finding is the fact that a lot of people are taking a great deal of pleasure out of the whole iphone thing and there is a massive amount of people who just can't bear to see this!!.
So it's not perfect - so what - nothing is - NOTHING IS - but we let it go.

Yes, it's a shame tat some over exciteable Apple fans get drawn into a debate over why it's better than a blackberry but heck it's new and it's exciting and apple folks are a bit like that - they get a little hysterical sometimes .Can't we learn to make allowances for that ?

Seriously, what is so wrong with digging something so much and morethan that WANTING , ASPIRING TO OWN, and HOPING it will be great ?

When did competition become a crime.

Lately, I realise that everything mediocre is ignored on the internet but anything that strives to be great is trounced on by ave after wave of hate and usually attracts the words ' it sucks'..

How many stores did you call? Is that number a fair representation of the 162 US Apple Stores?

You certainly can't go by the Apple's availability list as it's only been 11 to 8 hours since the phones went on sale, depending on the time zone. The list will be updated once a day so I expect that we need to wait a few more hours before we pass judgment on the iPhone's Day 1 availability.]]>Jun 30th 2007 9:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/Jun 30th 2007 5:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/
I hear what your saying. I would personally have liked GPS in it but it's not in it and so that's just the way it is but what we really need to take care of is the fact that there aren't a whole lot of companies that actually manage to make perfect or amazing products. We need to nurture the Apple's of this world because they take the entire planet forward even though they are most definitely not perfect and do not get it right - they at least TRY their absolute best. LG just rushed that thing out - as neat as it was and as great as LG are they didn't take the extra 12 months to make it really special..that's the difference and it should be appreciated even if it doesn't necessarily deliver exponential results.

I think we need to take heed of Concorde as an example . It took two countries a monumental effort to make that plane over 40 years ago - a plane which even in 2005/6 when it was retired was unsurpassed and flew so fast that the modern military jets could not catch it ( hence why it was actually retired as it posed a massive security threat) but the point is that we shouldn't take greatness for granted or the aspiration to accomplish it because it really doesn't come around all that often and as with Concorde it had flaws that made it exclude a massive section of the population but it was still great - in fact unsurpassed. So it is with iphone.It's not as practical as blackberry but it is great and it represents a herculean effort to aspire to something great, practical and beautiful. it follows a different brief to a blackberry and we should appreciate that because one day there will be no Apple and then who will lead the way ? Who will show us the 'opposite' direction'? And yes that sounds elitist and it's not because Micorosft have taken Apple's direction and SURPASSED it . They made the Boeing 747 of operating Systems and we the world should be grateful because Apple learned some lesson too. Microsoft actually gave more, and less, simultaneously.

So I guess I just think we should watch these amazing products unfold with gratitude no matter who makes them and buy the ones we like and live and let live, live and let die the ones that don't, but make no mistake about it ( and this is equally aimed at over zealous apple fans) we should not take such great pleasure in watching or trying to help an effort towards greatness fail - no matter who is attempting it. It's spiritually immoral!

And the DS when it came out? :)

And the iPhone - the thing that we've been led to believe will herald the second coming of Christ - has caught up with demand in just one day? Either they made a LOT of these things or...

BTW, RIM's stock price went up 22% today. Let me repeat that - twenty two percent in one day. Apparently the market doesn't see the iPhone as the Blackberry killer yet...

Maybe it's time to wind down the hype and come back to reality. :)]]>Jun 30th 2007 7:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/Jun 30th 2007 10:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/Jun 30th 2007 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/... that photo, is that a picture of the new iTard?

Approximately 35% of the Apple Stores in California are sold out. There is no way of telling how many units the other stores have left or any info about the AT&T stores.

Does anyone know how many units the stores were receiving on average? I'd like to figure a base figure for how many units were sold in the first 27 hours.]]>Jun 30th 2007 9:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stock-update-go-get-em/Jul 3rd 2007 5:08PM
