The iPhone

I don't doubt that the iPhone may be a truly great smartphone-class
handset, but with the vast majority of the people I see using small
clamshell phones, I just don't see people switching in droves to an
expensive humongo clunker like that.
We'll see. It looks rather svelt to me for what is essentially an
iPod-PDA-phone. It will appeal to people who are into the iPod/vPod
and use a cell phone it would seem.
I'm more impressed with the incredible new technologies in it. I
still loathe being interrupted by the ring of any phone while driving
or in public. It may be all the rage, but one I can live without.
What I'd really like is the same thing, sans phone, with at last
10-20 gigs of storage space! IOW all I want an iPod I can surf on,
take pictures with, process them and email them on. It's interesting
to me that technology is already catching up to Star Trek The Next
Generation level technology. This is the best implementation of touch
screen tech I've yet in the market.
