That's what I've been saying/thinking. I really only seeing this as a Cingular exclusive through 2007.

I am wondering how this works now that it wont be launched until June. I bet more providers will be allowed starting Jan of 2008 (perfect timing for MacWorldSomewhat overstating the situation. Sounds like only a six month exclusive.

Anybody else think that the tech design could also be used for a revolution in the notebook market?
This type of interface would blow all current tablet PC's away...
One issue that I've not seen addressed. Can you actually use it in flight on a commercial airliner? They don't allow cell phones to be powered on during flight. If you decide to watch a movie, can you do so without causing an Air Marshal to drop you?
I'm used to a phone that does much of what the iPhone will do and it lasts a week or more.
He says that all the time.
A friend in the telecom industry says you can retain your carrier and connect to Cingular with the phone.
He said it's no big deal. If you don't have a carrier then of course you'd sign up via Cingular.

I say this with conviction this year.
Since Apple has changed their name, let's change MacWorld's name to AppleWorld while we are at it.
The iPhone... thoroughly put to sleep as I read the MacRumors live feed. Come on people, lets look past the fact that this is an Apple product and look at what it really is.... a Blackberry with a full touch screen. Sure it has its cool little features and every feature has been thought out very well, but it is still a cell phone that plays music and video.
I know that I am the minority here because I can't stand to have a cell phone and that there are many out there that feel that they cannot live without one, so this thing doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. Especially when it has a throat slitting price of $499 and $599 AND it ties you to the devil for 2 years.
The final reason I have an issue with it.... did it really need an hour and a half of the keynote's time to talk about it? What a complete waste of resources. Steve would have been better off releasing the new Airport Extreme today instead of the whisper quiet release in the store this afternoon.
Also, where was the Quad Core Mac Pros? Where was an iSight update? Where was display update? Maybe even an iMac or Mac mini update? Just something MAC related.
We didn't even see ANYTHING on LEOPARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or the old stand by iLIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wanted to jump out of my office window when I read that John Mayer was playing and the show was over........ This was NOT a MACWORLD.
From that old 500 thread:
"I still can't believe this! All this hype for something so ridiculous! Who cares about an MP3 player? I want something new! I want them to think differently!
Why oh why would they do this?! It's so wrong! It's so stupid!"
Deja Vu with this thread?![]()
No, he doesn't. Everytime he's said this in the past, there was another presentation within a month. If he really said this then I'd expect a media event before the month is out.

Fidelity.com said:A few days before Jobs' MacWorld speech, I was listening to one of many podcasts attempting to predict what the great man would show and tell. One of the guys, who seemed to have some familiarity with how things work at Apple (AAPL), made it clear that "Loose Lips Sink Careers" is the order of the day in Cupertino.
He even said there's a word for what happens if you spill a secret. It's called "Getting Steved."

lol reading that old thread was fun
what do you do if you want the phone but your plan expires in April? any ideas?
When they say iPhone prices include a 2 year contract... does that mean it's more expensive without the contract, or you're getting the contract with the price of the phone?
