Has anyone seen a commercial, or heard about Apple's iPhone? It looks really cool. The internet on it isn't a "Cell Phone Version" it's the real thing. It has "Windscreen iTunes" on it. I plan to get one, when they come out. What do you guys think?

IS that the one everyone stood in line to buy ?Costs like 5 or 6 hundred dollars? Is that the one you mean?

The Internet can either connect via wifi like a laptop, giving you fast web browsing or it can connect over AT&T's network. If you do the second one, you will have slightly slower browsing, but you will have access anywhere.

And yes, this is the one that everyone camped out for. And yes, it costs 5 or 6 hundred dollars.

It does not have itunes on it. But it is an iPod. For certain features (including the ipod), you can turn the iPhone to give you a widescreen view.

I tried one out today at the Apple Store. It is pretty cool. I'm just not ready to dish out that sort of money for a phone. I also don't have AT&T.

IS it true what I heard or have you heard anything about this. People going to the stores and buying the Iphones for the store's price and then listing them for way more on Ebay? Poeple will do anything.Thats what i heard anyway.Should be a law agianst that.Isn't that like scalping?

Probably true.

Nothing wrong with that:
They decided they don't want it, so they sell it, and make some profit. The profit could me made for any reason, not just because it's an iPhone, so theres no way they could get in legal trouble.

I havent tried iPhone, but I have read about and there seems to be some ups and downs. I see Apple released a security fix earlier this week, or was it last.

What fascinates me is the multi touch screen, where the screen can identify and processes multiple finger touches and draws on the screen. I think that seems great.

The security update is good::::

There was a problem with it, that allowed ANYONE to gain access to it and get your personal info.

Also, the iPhone is built on UNIX so you know its stable.

For anyone who wants this,just wait .The longer it is out the price will go down. Did anyone see the video on youtube?The guy has his iphone and the other rushes him and knocks him into the pool with his iphone? How bad is that?

Things will always come down in price over time.

I haven't seen that video, do you have a link?. It sounds pretty funny/mean.
