First, at 32GB, the capacity is way too low. 64GB is barely passable for me. I heard that it will be difficult for Apple to come out with a 64GB or larger capacity phone without increasing the footprint because they are out of space with the current dimensions.
Second, wow, it's like $100 plus dollars a month for phone and data service! Way too expensive to justify when I'm paying about $55 for two regular phones combined. Wi-fi is becoming more ubiquitous so the author gets that right. Will Wi-Fi supplant the need for 3G always connected service? Not for some, but it's likely most really don't need this level of service, except maybe those who can't live without telling someone their munching on potato chips on Twitter or Facebook.

I have to chuckle on that one... :-)
I remember getting a top-of-the-line iPod and I was happy to get the 80 GB model. I thought I had it made. And that one was with a hard drive in it. This 64 GB that you're talking about is a chip and no moving parts, which is great. I didn't think I would see that kind of capacity for a chip, when I had an 80 GB hard drive in my iPod.
But, as y'all know... what was big in the past is small now... :-)
“Second, wow, it’s like $100 plus dollars a month for phone and data service! “
We pay about $120 for two iPhones: $50 service for the first phone, $10 for the second, $5 per phone for messaging and $30 phone per phone for data: $50 + $10 + $5 + $5 + 30 + $30 = $130 minus a 25% corporate discount = $105 + about $15 for taxes = $120. A little steep still, but nothing we wouldn’t be paying elsewhere for Internet capable phones.

Actually, it's $40 for phone service (nationwide plan) and $30 for data plan (your internet). That's $70....
