Apple's new "iPhone".

First off;

:roll:

Ok. Now that's out of the way..




Who didn't see this one coming. Apple continues to play off on the iGeneration by getting an iPod and slapping a huge screen on it along with phone and PDA-like capabilities. I'll say, it looks pretty hot, but 5 or 6 hundred bux? What?

Wiki article all about it.

It being apple, I of course hate it and hope it bankrupts them , though that's unlikely. I can already imagine the thousands iThis and iThat loving apple zombies who'll rush to buy this as soon as they can get their hands on it. This is a nice article.

Some other manufacture is very likely to create an identical device, that is either comparable in features or greater, and you can pretty much bet that it's going to cost less =/.

LOL!

LOLOL!

LOLOLOL!

LOL!







But LOL *ahem*

But yeah, this is really fucking ignorant. I don't even have an iPod, and I seriously doubt I am going to buy an iPhone when I can't even get a PS3 yet.

Steve Jobs' presentation: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12

I saw it on the news and I also think I won't buy this...
It's like crap too me.

I can't wait until dudes start getting stabbed on the subway for their phones. Seriously, I want blood.

hahaha XD
U are sick dude

When it I read up on the subject more, I'll make a youtube vid bashing it. I haven't "blammed" apple yet.

who would carry around a phone with you that is 600 dollars? its like some sony fanboy carrying around a ps3, its going to get broken or stolen.

Biohazard, you're forgetting how dumb some people are. Seriously, some people will buy dog shit if you tell them to.

Hipster douchebags who want to show off.

@ JH - Concordo!

"iGen" fanboy- "aw man, its only 4 gigs? DAMNIT! I can only put 2000 of my songs on this!!! Oh well, I have to add it to my collection. So long Kidney!"

Next Day-

"Man, what the fuck?! I can't hear who I'm talking to! Oh well, I guess I'll just listen to music while I wait for them to text me or something."

Totally pointless. Id rather buy a Wii and an HDTV.

I'd rather buy a sword.

$600 clams gets you a wii AND an HDTV?! What the fuck bra? Where do you shop?

Mega-low-mart.

Whoever says they wouldn't pay a measly six hundred dollars for this is a complete moron. Do you realize what this thing does? It may be marketed as a phone, but it does so much more, like videos and music and images and games. It's pretty much a personal companion, and seeing as how it's Apple you know it's a quality product. You all need to stop being such snide douchebags and realize that this gem of a product is worth every penny.

I don;t know about you douchebags, but I got a PSP for $250, less than half of the price of the one they are trying to sell you.

$500-$600 for a phone with a 2 year contract is nuts. Especially because you're going to be hit with not only the phone plan, but a data plan as well. Otherwise, you won't get to use %80 of the phone's features.

Code: [Select]

$500 initial investment (assuming you buy the cheapest model)
+
$45/month for minutes (at least)
$20/month for data (lowest cingular data plan price currently)
-----------
65/month
x
24 months
----------
$1560
+
$500 iPhone cost (assuming you buy the cheapest model)
----------

$2060 total (assuming you buy the cheapest model) =/

That will be like
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY   TOO MUCH ..
I'll pass.

I wouldn't pay anything more than like a hundred dollars for a phone or an MP3 player.. jeeze.

I won't bother, Microsoft is just going to make a ZUNE phone. Which of course will be better. Let apple make their phone and other companies will fix it up and sell it as their own. The perfect buisiness strategy.

edit: I read zyphers post... *laughs*

 You totally forgot this

The iPhone seems to be getting a lot of negative press. In an interview with Steve Jobs he says there will be no 3rd party applications for iPhone (link)

“We define everything that is on the phone,” he said. “You don’t want your phone to be like a PC. The last thing you want is to have loaded three apps on your phone and then you go to make a call and it doesn’t work anymore. These are more like iPods than they are like computers.”

More so users are upset about being shackled itunes and the itunes music store. (link). It also seems the iPod is running OSX. (link) which begs the question: who really cares if you not supposed to load 3rd party applications??

I do!!!!

Actually I really don't, apple can bite my ass then call me daddy.

So just now I tested my sister's Nano by trying to select a song. This quality product locked up and now I have to wait for the battery to die, which will be quite a while because it's fully charged. Of course, this would never happen with the iPhone because it's so complex and so expensive.
