    I couldn't really give a crap about a cell phone, but I have to admit that iPhone looks pretty slick.

    It sure looks cool... but does it run Linux?
    We're sorta like 7-Eleven. We're not always doing business, but we're always open.

    Thats what I said too when the rumors came out. All I normally look for in a phone is a phone...couldn't care less about mp3, email, text...blah, blah, blah. Gimmie a small, durable phone with a long battery life.




    That's what I used to think until I saw the iPhone. That thing is SICK! It even runs OS X!

    I work for apple so I just thought I'd share the now "public" news.

    I'm holding out for the device that has a camera, phone, MP3 player, barometer, altimeter, small television, lighter, and gives blowjobs.

    Shouldn't be long.
    Fighting leads to killing, and killing gets to warring. And that was damn near the death of us all.

    No.

    BSD.

    (and the phone embedded OS is a gutted skeleton in comparison to whats actually running on a mac. WinCE is basically XP embedded)
    The only thing worse than the feeling that you are going to die is the realization that you probably won't.

    That's because the display isn't scratched up yet.

    The bad news is that it costs about $600 plus $60/month for the phone/data service. But money is no object for Mac fanboys.
    Change is good. You go first.

    As this style of device becomes more popular (and with Apple releasing it, it's pretty likely to), soon I'd imagine the data services to become much more affordable.

    Actually it IS the full version, which is part of what makes this phone soooo "next level".

    Apple (mac) products are kinda like Spatula skis....some folks buy them just to be cool and may never really utilize what they have to offer while others know firsthand that they rule and take full advantage (regardless of the price).
    so many mountains...so little time
