I just watched the video:
http://crunchgear.com/2007/06/26/roundup-apple-iphone-reviews/
The phones features aren't new but the packaging and mode of delivery are. What you can do with the touch screen, using your fingers to zoom in/out, is very cool. I think the only thing holding it back is the cr@p AT&T network which by almost all accounts, sucks! |

| The great thing is that it'll hop onto WiFi when it finds a signal. There are hotspots all over the place. |

Links are dead.
Cangel, crap network isn't the only thing to worry about, it fares average as an actually mobile phone.
On top of this, the use of the iPod is tied to the plan that you buy the phone for (1 or 2 years), so when the contract expires so does the playing music and videos! |

| rocklee, yeah you're right. Also, the battery life seems to be getting picked apart not to mention having to send it to apple for replacement in 2-3 years. Getting everyone to jump ship and cancel their old contracts will be expensive. |

Nokia are about to release a phone that can jump from wifi to cellular networks without batting an eyelid.
May not be as funky as the i-phone but U bet it has better battery life and easier to use interface.. |

I think Nokia already has a phone like that : N95 (can't remember the name).
Still, the HTC, Dopod phones all do that. |

Visual voicemail, an accellerometer, pinch-zoom, etc. are not new? I haven't seen another phone running Mac OSX, either. This thing is revolutionary and simply blows the competition out of the water. Still, I'll stick to my 'pod for now. |

Sadly, by the time iPhone gets to Korea local companies will have made a "Korean iPhone" (lol) already. |

Yeah but it'll still be boring old Samsung and LG following Apple's lead again. Why step back when you have have the real deal? |

So how can A T & T stop you from playing music and videos you have stored on your iPhone? |
