Steve Jobs is a modern day super hero... oh wait... no he isnt.... what was i thinking.

He put preasure on the market to keep prices at 99 cents a song because that is a support line for iPod. Don't be dumb.

That is like saying Auto Company's are making cars and trucks with better milage to help lower the price of gas.

I would have at LEAST thought you could change the ringtone.. jeesh, its just a sound file.. though i guess this are the sorts of things that will take a day or to for the nutters to hack.

No Java? They'd damn well better have Flash support.

Anyone who lays that out for a phone, even with additional capabilities, has not yet matured beyond the concept of saying "looky, looky, what I got". Either that, or they have money to burn despite the responsibilities of a family, a job, and a real life. Strictly personal opinion. Your mileage may vary, probably in direct proportion to your years and responsibilities.

Kinda true DaWei, whilst yes i did fork out for a pocket pc based phone, i actually make use of its extra features to my advantage on a regular basis. the help desk gets download to it each morning, and i take it with me as i do my rounds and fix problems, i take small notes as i go, and upload it back when i reach the office again.

If used properly in your environment, they can actually take a lot of stress and extra work out of your life, the iPhone however, just sounds useless. i am surprised it can even make a phone call. apple should have just added a BT headset to an ipod and been done.
