Hi all,
Although i own no Apple Products currently i do believe my next Laptop will be a Mac especially now you can run Windows on one. To suggest the iPhone will be buggy on launch as it's there first phone must be a joke.

As Fatrg has pointed out the amount of R&D and dare i say it proper Beta testing IMO means on launch it will be a fit for purpose product. As should be for all products on launch IMO even i am very curious to see what delights they hold as by all accounts there will be two versions one of which will be a smart phone. So that's everyone with a Mac and a need for smart phone to start with that will buy one. They have the ability with their design ethos and flare to carve them selves a large slice of the market quite quickly.

Marc

Well the only apple thing i've ever owned is an Ipod and its broken 4 times now but i guess its a completly different thing from a laptop or a phone so I guess i'll have to retract that statement

In terms of price, i read on gizmodo dot com that the iphone (non smart, withouth the qwerty keyboard) will cost 499 dol while the smart one will cost 639 dol (or something like that). These prices are not higher than the competition, a k790 costs 499dol in US (with no memory card and the iphone will have 4gb or 8gb of memory), and iīm sure a P990 is more expensive than 639 dol. Apple is inside or even lower than the marketīs prices.

looks like a TV remote control.
What's apple going to use now if they're really going to launch a mobile phone?
resistance is futile.

No chance. I don't know what to make of all this Iphone talk. Should Apple enter the market? Probably not as it's so sacturated already.
Judging by Apple's pricing I can't see any Iphone being cheap either. We shall see though I suppose, I would still prefer my P990I as SE and Symbian are well grounded in what they do.

No doubt I will lust after one like crazy when it's released though.

If their is truth in the rumour of the device having dual battery's then I really will think it's rubbish, why not develop a fuel cell in that case rather then doubling the poison buried in the ground when the battery packs up? I'm not an eco warrior but doubling battery's isn't the way to go.



Why not?

ASUS did....

Actually, if you look back at the original post, Gizmodo never said Apple iPhone - it just said iPhone. The word Apple magically appeared in the first post of this thread!!
