I'd like it if it wasn't a phone. Why can't they release an ipod with all the accelometer, dual touch, etc? I dunno it will do really well but I definately won't be buying one. I can't even work all the crap on my current phone. I just learned about text messenging a few months ago.
If you're at all interested I'd recommend checking out the intro video on the link that brome posted. It shows Steve Jobs using it and it looks really awesome. I was sorta excited about it, but after watching someone actually use it I'm really excited.
Vig.. technically MS has been beaten Apple to this field by a loooongshot, considering the number of windows-powered phones available on the market, and pretty much all of those are media phones... plus they have actual use beyond media with the business / game / etc related software available for them.
It all boils down to the fact they keep tossing more and more shit onto phones, yet the actual 'phone' feature sucks more and more... I mean, they have commercials saying which carrier has the fewest dropped calls... that's like going around saying "Go with us cause we suck the least!".
like i said in my first post i'll wait until the second wave comes out thats better armored and or lower priced. Id be all over it at 200-300 price range after the 2 year contract. I love its shape as a media person, but as a phone i would never be able to hear/talk to anyone on that.
Same genre different topic: Does anyone own a 30gb video ipod? What about a Zune? I just bought a video ipod for my g/f, and I was interested in picking up something similar for myself as well. I'm not all too familiar with iPods or Zunes though, and would like to know everyone's opinion's on them. Thanks,
I don't understand all the iTunes hate. Maybe it's because I don't demand much from an audio player, but I've never had any real problems with it. I rip my files, drag them into the library, and push play. Music comes out. I've tried to make the jump to programs like Foobar a few times and been utterly confused.
Looks hot! I don't use my current phone much but I bring my ipod everywhere. I'll probably pick one of these up once they double the storage and I can fit all my music on it - then the woman can't complain anymore that I never carry my phone with me. That alone should make it easy to justify the price to her. =D
