Don't you remember before Apple became a control-freak-greedy corporation and they were the underdog with the motto "Think Different"? I look forward to the designer that thinks out of the box and brings us the next generation portable interface.]]>May 28th 2009 5:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/May 28th 2009 5:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/May 28th 2009 6:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/if you dont LOVE it you must not have ever seen or held one.

Apple naled it, its fits right into your hand and looks so sleek.

Seriously? Why would you use that website? You have a REAL computer, and because of your obsession with the iPhone, you must use a website to get your fix?

I've had an iPhone for 2 years, and fully plan on getting a new one in July. I am what you would call a "fanboy", but give me a break.

The site doesn't even work right... Safari looks like the iPhone but doesn't work like it, and everything else is an ad.]]>May 28th 2009 8:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/May 28th 2009 9:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/
And after 2 years of owning an iPhone I have to say: Any phone that doesn't have a glass screen need not apply. I had this phone in my front pocket without any protection for 2 years, every day, and the screen looks as good as new. There is one barely visible scratch on it, the rest is absolutely perfect. This, gentlemen, is quality. ]]>May 28th 2009 9:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/
As far as people saying the phone isn't changing enough and it's so flawed, you are equally desperate to me. The iPhone is pretty damn nice right now and doesn't need an overall change in design. It needs some improvements, but not an overall design change. What would be nice are a few more buttons if they want games to be more acceptable and some faster speeds in processing. Overall though, it does not need an entirely new design at the time when other makers are just coming to use its pluses. How the heck is it tacky when the HTC's Touch Diamond2 is more or less like its design as is the soon to be Zune HD as well? Many of you are desperate to jump on the iPhone and cut it apart without thinking aren't you? ]]>May 28th 2009 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/]]>May 28th 2009 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/Jul 6th 2009 9:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/

And if you look closely, there is absolutly room for the current home button layout as well. The bottom of the bezeled pictured is lower than the rest of the framework. The home button is most likely to go on top of it.

Ignoring the rest of your statement as I don't have the time, I'd just like to point out that since he mentioned O2, he's in the UK, and coverage is pretty much across the whole country here, not just some major cities.* Benefits of being a tiny island.

* obviously, it still isn't perfect, e.g. in the mountains, or in the middle of nowhere, but we have much less "nowhere" than other countries.]]>May 28th 2009 6:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/

Except that's not true at all. There are huge gaping areas of the UK without 3G coverage. Come to Suffolk, Norfolk or anywhere away from an A road.

It seems that Apple is saving a real upgrade for every other iPhone.... so in 2007 we had a lacking device which was OK because it had a revolutionary UI and screen.Then in 2008 it was a good step forward with 3G, GPS and 3rd party apps. Now, we're gonna see minor changes.... and the bigger changes should make an appearance next year.

Only problem is other platforms and phones have catched up in would should have been alarming speed for Apple.]]>May 28th 2009 5:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/May 28th 2009 5:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/May 28th 2009 5:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/
I don't know if it exists, but if Google were to write a compiler that would take iPhone app code and compile it into usable Android code, then they would be able to lure tons of application writers to both platforms. That would be a blow to the iPhone.

Right now I own the iPhone and think it is great for personal, only so-so for business and I would love to see it beaten by the competition so that Apple has to step up their game again.]]>May 28th 2009 5:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/
Your first mistake is thinking that Apple is sitting on their asses...
Like they dont know whats in store for other phones.

Just chill,
When this new phone is released it will still be 5 years ahead of any other phone, like usual.]]>May 28th 2009 7:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/apple-iphone-3-0-rumor-roundup/
Obvious Phanboi is Obvious

If you ever actually thought the iPhone is/was 5 years ahead of the game you:

A: know nothing of processor speeds
B: would be happy without 3G for another 3 years
C: dont like increased storage space
D: have NO idea what WebOS and n97 refer to

Refute any of these based on your '5 year' theory and i'll gladly rescind my comments.

I would say I am one of the millions of consumers who find the iphone to be pretty much damn near perfect except for a few missing features which this new update is promising to bring, and like the millions of users who went and bought an iphone we have the disposable cash to upgrade our phones if and when a new version is released. Upgrading my iphone to a new one is no different from gamers who upgrade their graphics cards or hell anyone who has something that they use on a daily basis, think is great and therefore would like to the own the new and improved version.

Everyone i know wants one or is waiting till their current contracts expire to buy one, the only people who don’t want one or constantly slam it.... all seem to be on here... go figure.
