Seems to me that not having a DVD drive/player in it would be a good push for iTunes videos. So, yeah, that makes sense to me...

The e-mail Cingular sent me said June:

Available in June, the iPhone features:
- Visual voicemail, an industry first, lets you access messages individually
- 3.5-inch multi-touch display allows you to control iPod and phone functions using only your fingers
- Quad-band GSM and supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0

Stay tuned–more exciting details to follow in the coming months!

'super bowl commercials are only for women' - wtf? Women can't like sports? Women can't like gadgets? Take your misogynistic, pig brain and shove it up your not-getting-any-ass.

I'm not knocking it at all (was giving benefit of doubt that it wasn't just IQ level) but, hey, yeah, I am older than that by a decade and a couple of years. I get carded everywhere still, so age ain't nothing but a number... :)

@Discipline83:
--"Why would Apple want to come up with a new anything? I mean, rumor has it that they tried to sue some vegetable distributor for using the word Pod in the title of their peas."
>>Um, I'll just guess that 83 was the year you were born, although it could be IQ. Since you don't like Apple, it's perfectly reasonable for you to take any rumor you ever hear against them and treat it as fact. Yes, apple is going around suing pea manufacturers, and apple orchards, and kraft, and so on. Sure. Maybe you saw that on the Internet, so it must be true. And I suppose it is much more important to come up with a new, innovative name (like 'vista'?) instead of a new, innovative product. If more companies worried more about clever, cool names and less about meeting needs of their customers, the world would rock so much more.

--"Now as far as iPhone being too obvious, of course it is. It is a phone that is designed to take all mental capacity and dexterity away from the user. You want to use the phone, there is a button for phone. Check your email? There is a button for that too. Surf the web? Push internet. Apparently menus are too cumbersome for the uber-busy high school hipster these days. This one button system only plays up the concept of "I must have it now with no waiting" thought process of those who also say "Apple pwnz! You suxx0rS!" before actually looking at what the thing does. Don't forget it costs an arm and a leg even with a contract, will die prematurely from running too many functions from a singular irremovable battery that will only last 20 hours max regardless of what it does. Oh, it's also not even available until summer. LG's "Prada" phone does all this, with a removable battery, will be available sooner,without a contract, for less, and is smaller, and don't forget Nokia's N-series phones do the same thing, with dedicated tactile buttons no less. Seriously, even my Samsung a707 plays music, has voice dialing and has web access, and its a flip phone that can fit pretty much anywhere."
>>I know this concept is lost on people, so I'll type slowly so you can understand it. Not everyone likes gadgets, computers, or technology. And those that do don't like the same things. Not everyone has all of their fingers, arms, legs, eyes, ears, and other things working as marvelously as you do. And what with the variety of people on the planet, somehow -just somehow- this product can exist on this planet and suit the needs of the people who buy it, even if you don't have one, don't want one, and don't like it. Amazing, I know. But obviously you already have one, since you know all about its functions, its battery performance (and you even know that, despite reports to the contrary, it only has one battery) and everything else. I don't even have to think twice about dropping that much money on anything, yet I wonder how can it be so expensive if all these high school kids are going to get them? But you raise another excellent point: no one should ever bother putting out a product if another product does the same or a similar thing. There are already phones out there that do phone calls, so they should take that out. Music's been done, so get that out too. And hey, that Prada phone, the Nokia phone - they need to get all that out too, it's been done. Ditto your Samsung. Gosh darn it, one day we'll get to that utopia where people stop trying to make improvements to things that already exist!
--"Sometimes I wish these insane Apple-ites would just go on a drink the damned kool-aid and get it over with. My fault, I guess in this case it would be "Apple Juice"."
>>And sometimes I wish people who loved to make such grand generalizations about people would go on about their lives and stop trolling every Apple-related article so they can feel better about themselves by spewing a bunch of ill-formed, baseless crap without concern for things like facts, or respecting the differences of others. Lots of Apple people bug me, lots of other platform people bug me, but I am so much above being a low-life that makes a comment about wanting any type of person (race, gender, OS, whatever) to poison themselves.

Egads. I'm not sure I see what it is in this OS that makes it for a 'real' computer user. I guess people are only valid in what they do computing-wise if it meets a narrow definition of 'real'. So what is the amazing new 'real' computing breakthrough here? Search? Widgets? Aero? More versions of Solitare? WMP?
Or maybe it's the 'amazing' applications, the ones that third party vendors make that have nothing to do with the OS itself, but okay. What artypes of apps are 'real' computing but Mac users can't use? They have office applications, scientific calculating apps, diagnostic apps, database and server apps... I'm not sure what 'real' computing app doesn't exist for them.
Oh, I get it, somehow iTunes sucking on Windows makes another OS suck. That's good logic. I guess iTunes must be one of those 'real' computer applications!
Eh, anyway, I'd be fine if anyone wanted to laugh at my 'overpriced' hardware, whether it was my computer, my digital camera, my TV and sound system... somehow I managed to afford them all, with Windows and Mac OS-running systems. Imagine that.

Well, which is it - *their* hard-earned money, or some guy's bank account? Believe it or not, some of us women actually make our own money and don't need nor want to drain anyone else's bank accounts; but then again, some guys can actually get a real woman without resorting to having to buy her off.

No, you're still not getting it; it's rock, paper, scissors, not rock, paper, lasers...

Next gen, like the PS4, the Xbox 720, and the Wii 2 (a.k.a. the WiiWii)? I'll put it to good use w/a 360, PS2, GameCube, Xbox, and hopefully a Wii soon...

Some stores will do price matching, but only at the time - i.e., you'd have to wait in lines w/everyone else to get the adjustment, or if it's a that-day-only deal do it after 2-3 when the lines die down.
And I am sure that all of the "overweight, low self esteem, soccer moms who base their families worth on what kind of deals they get for Christmas" will appreciate not having to deal with an attitudinal, obnoxious, overcompensating-for-their-own-issues salesperson whose statement indicates that judging people and looking down at others is better than working on improving themselves (maybe by learning some spelling to get a better job so that they won't have to deal with the 'herd'). Yeah, people are rude and dumb. News alert. Maybe the best way to solve that problem is by not being a part of it, and give those people some positive attitude to enable their esteem to grow. (and no, I am not fat nor a soccer mom; I work retail part-time by choice, not by need, and let go of the actions of others and focus on my own actions instead).
