Anyone have an iPhone?
engadget.com had a link to a guide on hacking the iphone for file transfers and ---- a few days ago.
Overpriced? Yeah. A couple articles have said apple's cost to make them is about half of what they sell them for.
It looks clean and the interface looks nice, but still isnt worth the money in my opinion. I'll stick with my windows mobile 6 tmobile wing and 2gb of memory for a total cost of $200. As much as I use the phone for listening to music (once every couple months?) I don't need 4-8gb of space. The wing is touchscreen, with a physical keyboard (I've heard the apple keyboard sucks), plenty of software support (runs windows), and has way more features.
Doesn't look as cool but for 1/3 the price i couldn't give a ----.

Yeah, because these things have been selling like hotcakes, so obviously it's going to ruin Apple. The people who have to have it right now don't give a ---- about the price. These phones have some serious appeal even to people who beforehand probably didn't give a ---- about a cell phone. I spent a lot of time using the iPhone recently, and it's a great device. The screen is large and has good brightness and contrast, the touch interface works very well, the keyboard is fine after a slight learning period, and the battery life is excellent. It's a bitch cleaning the smudges off the screen, though.
