Apple shows iPhone, Motorola screams bloody murder

by Phil Bond, filed in Uncategorized on Jan.10, 2007

It’s the toast of the town already, but in case you were under a rock, Steve Jobs got up on a stage and felt alive again today. His computer company will soon bring us the most comprehensive piece of pocket-sized electronics ever marketed to normal people.

As you can already see in vivid color on Apple’s web site, the iCameraNewtonBrowserPhonePod, or “iPhone” for short will do everything but link up for multiplayer on your old GBA games.

It’ll be godawful expensive, but I look forward to seeing fewer Razrs on the street.

Well, I’m boned because I don’t have Cingular, so…

Not me! I’m all Cingular’d-up and ready to go. Except that I guess this thing only holds about twice as many songs as my cramped little Nano, so… I guess I wait for iPhone generation 2.

Verizon has crap for phones. Screwed again.

I’m on sprint, but have been on the verge of bailing out of this contract for a long, long time.

I’m in the same boat as Shipley. Incidentally, I found a way to get out of the contract with no termination fees. Just say you’re moving to an area with no Sprint coverage and they’ll terminate the contract with no fees.

Well Verizon does have the Q, Crazy, which is what I have and it’s pretty close to the …

But, I too am tired of Cingular always getting exclusives and of Verizon trying to market their own VZW music services. rather then getting Apple support. Believe it or not, Apple has actually tried to work with Verizon (per my Verizon sales rep when I still worked for the company), but declined on multiple occasions.

That seems like a dumb decision. What could Verizon have to gain by not working with them, as opposed to the potential gains if they did?

Exactly. They just feel that they’d make more off of their VZW service because they wouldn’t have to pay Apple, while in reality more songs would be sold if they had iTunes just because of it being iTunes.

They’re a weird company sometimes and they’re out to get money out of their subscribers. They limit OBEX on their phones in order to force you to buy ringtones and wallpaper for instance, while Cingular has always had OBEX enabled. It sucked for me when I got my first Verizon phone because I didn’t want any of the music or pictures they had…

The 4 Gb is the cingular exclusive, wouldnt that imply the 8 Gb is a free for all among the cell companies?

I just heard on my local news this will have a $600 price tag and wil require a 2 year contract. I’m not sure I would want to spend that much on a phone.
http://powet.tv Zac Shipley

its a phone/pda/ipod. if you think of each of those as costing 200-250 bucks, then the iPhone is a steal.

Just like the PS3!

I could swear I saw a picture of Steve Jobs standing next to a 10 ft tall $299/2 yr agreement sign.

Well, I dug up the link and I was wrong. $599 with a 2 yr contract. I guess I got the Apple TV and iPhone mixed up. But I definitely will be buying Apple TV. That shit’s hot.

agreed. bye bye, cable box!
