I would say the only thing that I would be worried about them upgrading is the storage space and make it 3G. But damn, everything for me is running perfectly and anything that it's missing (custom ringtones, sideboard keyboard used more, ect) has good probability to be updated soon.StrikerObi said:

OH MY ****ING GOD THAT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I HAVE EVER SEEN
I have Broken Sword (both of them) on my PSP already, and despite this fact, the day ScummVM runs the iPhone is the day I'll buy one. That's right, I'll switch to America's shittiest carrier because of ScummVM.
The activation for this thing was so awesome. I had the new data plan added to my account, my Razr deactivated, and everything ready to go in 3 minutes. It automatically imported the all the connection params for my POP mail accounts and when I turned on my phone had my unread messages.
Everything about it has been sweet so far, listened to some music this morning, surfed the web, did work email, all on Edge. The screen is super bright and sharp for web stuff. My other iPods are a shuffle and a mini so the coverflow thing is so cool for me.

You get internet via WiFi when you're within range of an access point, or via AT&T's reportedly slow EDGE network for everywhere else. All iPhone plans are built around the idea of using the EDGE network frequently, so the lowest plan is $60/month with unlimited data (aka EDGE internet) and 200 text messages. If you use AT&T/Cingular already, you can add the iPhone plan for an extra $20 a month.
The touch screen feels FAR more solid than the DS one.

Yeah, right. That phone doesn't come close to the iPhone. I was looking at the Mogul though. It just doesn't offer enough improvement over my Q to justifiy it.

Are we looking at the next generation of DS touch screen if Apple is successful enough to bring the price down of the iphone touchscreen?

Yeah, I saw that video. It's insane. Those guys really punished the poor thing.
I don't care so much about 3G. I will be near wi-fi most of the time, and I have never even used mobile internet before so it's not like I will know what I am missing by only using EDGE (which seems to be at least decent now). I have an iPod for all my music if I really need to take it all with me. 8GB is fine for having at all times. I actually already cut my 18.75GB music library down to a 6.5GB "must have" playlist for my forthcoming iPhone. I figured I should leave some space on there for other stuff like the occasional TV show, plus the OS takes like 700MB.
Got to put the phone through it's paces a bit today. And i'm extremely impressed. THe only major hitch i find is that the phone won't connect to my dlink wireless router no matter what settings i try. Sucks balls! But otherwise it's awesome. These are some pics of the unit and some pics taken with the iphone. In bright light the camera is amazing but as you can see in dim light the results aren't that great.
I'm very happy with my purchase so far. I listened to four hours worth of music on my ride today, I watched three 24 minute anime episodes and i've been surfing the web as well as taking photos. The battery just now got down to 20%. This is amazing, and when you factor in that it was right out of the box without being fully charged it's even more so.

Success!! I got an 8GB model at an Apple Store this afternoon. Anyone living in Austin, and looking for an iPhone, the Barton Creek Store has 4 and 8GB models available. The Domain had a few 4GB models Looks like hitting up the Apple Stores is the way to go. I already cancelled my online order. Now off to activate it! 
Edit: Oh yeah, and for those that say there is no MMS, you do know that you can send messages via e-mail to a phone with picture attachments right?

I can't say for sure since I'm not a tech expert. But from what I'm able to observe (and someone please feel free to correct me) the DS touchscreen is geared for gameplay scenarios (aka relatively unpredictable input) and with a stylus, while the iPhone's input is more "systematic" and done with your hands. I'm not sure if any of this actually matters, so again, someone please chime in if they have something better to say.
As far as screen quality is concerned, I'm sure Nintendo would like to offer a screen like this when compatible with their economic model.

From the start I thought you enjoyed shitting on the Handtop/UMPC concept (guess I was wrong). Overall I pretty agree with your above statements. Even more so (from my perspective), Ultra Mobile PCs will be the true evolution of handheld technology.
Regardless of all that, its far from ever reaching the mass hype/popularity of the iPhone.

this is kinda random, but what do you guys think are the chances of Apple's next iPod being the iPhone, but with more storage space and no phone parts? like, just a wide screen video playing touch screen iPod.
In my opinion, UMPCs are a joke because of the operating system. I think you need an OS specifically designed for a smaller device. Just throwing Windows on these things is just stupid.
That's where Apple has the step here. They will be able to continue to evolve the iPhone OS overtime and make it a great OS to use on smaller devices.
Really, for 90% of people out there, they don't need something like a UMPC. Most people don't want to be carrying around a full featured OS like Windows in their pocket. I think something more in the direction of the iPhone's OS X lite is ample enough for the time you are away from your computer.

No phone parts and no internet parts. I would say the 6G iPod will be almost exactly like the iPod section of the iPhone. Picture the 5G iPod, but the screen will be the whole front of the iPod, and then all the touch stuff.
Jobs specifically mentioned new iPods in the pipeline when he addressed the company the day before the iPhone's release. I would bet money on these being released in October/November. They've gone two holiday seasons with the current iPod model, change is coming.

Would it be wrong to assume that they'll eventually get covered on other services? I'm probably just going to wait for a Verizon option when it comes.

Hm. Well, once my latest plan is done with Verizon, I might switch over. The iPhone will be even more improved by then, and I'll probably have some money under my belt.
But as for now, bring on the new model iPods.
i havent seen the internet like that on a phone before. or for that matter, an ipod + phone combo...have you?bigmakstudios said:What the ****? lol @ that commercial.

its not worth all the hype, but its obviously an amazing device that has some things we've never seen before.
