These guys were wrong about the I-phone.

Now, if they could make an I-phone with at least a 100G of storage and portability to any wireless provider without having to perform any unreliable tricks, I would buy one.

A couple of weeks ago I was all set to get an iphone, courtesy of my employer. Went to the local ATT store and was told in order to get an account I needed to either give them my Social Security number or a $500 deposit refundable in a year. For years I've had an ATT LAN account, cell phone account for my wife, and had ATT DSL as my ISP. The bills were always paid on time and I was miffed that that wasn't sufficient credit history to. Soooo, I decided against getting the electronic leash and am now in the process of getting ATT out of my life completely.

Good riddance ATT. I hope you're not too big to fail.

Don’t forget the Zune - iPod killer “fer sure”. ;-)

The Android phones are good - competition always results in better stuff for everyone.

Let’s hope the government maintains a fairly lassez faire approach to the cell phone marketplace. That way continued improvement is likely.

Fun read!

Enjoyed this comment: “Apple should pull the plug on the iPhone… What Apple risks here is its reputation as a hot company that can do no wrong. If it’s smart it will call the iPhone a ‘reference design’ and pass it to some suckers to build with someone else’s marketing budget. Then it can wash its hands of any marketplace failures… Otherwise I’d advise people to cover their eyes. You are not going to like what you’ll see.”

I do love my I-phone, and I am a Mac hater. The Iphone is the best purchase I have made in years. Puts the Blackberry Storm to shame.

Just bought an iTouch with 32G memory two weeks ago and love it. I needed it for downloadable Chinese-language applications and have found it very easy to use.

Now I wish it had a GPS in it. Ha!
