Its when you try to make an all in one device the possibility of failure rises.

It's WAY more than a phone... so... we'll just have to see how this shakes out. Personally, it's a far too new technology for me to buy into... I would wait for the next generation iPhone to come out before I jumped on board. My 2 cents, AK

I suppose an mp3 player would be cool, but my phone already does that, and I rarely use that feature. One interesting question comes to mind- Why does my phone play mp3s out of the speaker, but a dedicated mp3 player, like the ipod, has no speaker? _________________________ Check your mix in mono. www.redroomaudio.com

Even if I download the first 5k of every message, I get 200 spams a day. It's just not feasible, even at 3G speeds - which are slow most places anyway, despite the hype.

Mark Kluth Veteran Member Registered: 10/25/99 Posts: 1919 Loc: Maui, Hawaii	Apple announced the other day that the battery life is going to be longer than they previously announced. Are they still engineering this thing? And it goes on sale in a little more than a week? So with manufacturing lead times and distribution, that gives them, what, 10 minutes to shake the thing out? How many bugs is this bomb going to have? They also announced that the touch screen surface will be glass and not plastic as previously announced. Again, how long have they given themselves to test this thing in real-world situations? It's insane to be making these types of announcements so close to launch. _________________________ Audiophile: "A gate IS a compressor, A Fader is a MANUAL compressor." Pure comedy.

A buddy of mine knows an Apple researcher who is actually beta-testing the iPhone... and yes.. they are always looking to improve on stuff... even a week before release... and even after it is released. That is why I'm going to wait for the 2nd generation iPhone. My opinion. AK

Then offer your services to them as a consultant, since you obviously know so much. Tell them how every product they've ever come out with sucks and the only reason they're making money hand over foot is that people are really stupid.
