Exactly how slow is "balls"?

The iPhone is quite possibly the best toy on the market these days. Unfortunately it's out of my price range.

I needed a little instruction on on how to "zoom" in on a website. (I kept clicking on the profile of Markvid while trying to get to the Anything Goes Page). Make a pinching or reverse-pinching motion. The screen is super-sensitive and has better resolution than the laptop I'm on now.

I'm almost wondering why I bought a laptop when I could have surfed SportsJournalists.com from my phone!

Anybody else played with one or even purchased one?

It loaded SportsJournalists.com just fine in the store!

saw one in person Friday. It was cool. Not worth $600. Sorry.

Just a little faster than "big foot's ****"

Pretty slow. They don't move on their own, ya know. haha

And the rumors are already floating about the next iPhone aka the iPhone Nano...

They don't so much move as shift, really.

I went to the Apple store to check out the iphone after the hoopla died down. It's very cool looking and all, but I wasn't impressed with it (to my surprise). I am a blackberry fanatic and type pretty fast on it. I couldn't even type my own name on the iphone "keyboard" and I have pretty thin and small hands. I'd love to hear from someone who actually uses their iphone to email a lot. I can't imagine this would get any better on a Nano-sized iphone, assuming it has email capability.

I got to play with an iPhone at the AT&T store yesterday when my wife was shopping for a new phone. The small keyboard was a problem, but when I turned it to landscape view it wasn't too bad.

I heard (though it's not entirely substantiated) that many folks are having problems with the battery on their iPhone. And, that new batteries are not cheap.

I played with one for a while yesterday. I'd say "slow as balls" describes the Internet on there. I have a computer, a phone, a digital camera and an mp3 player. I can use all of them at once. Don't see the need to drop six bills.

I read that the iphone battery will only accept 300-400 charges before having to be "sent back" for battery replacement. I'm not quite sure that got much play, but if I dropped $599 for a phone only to have to give it up for an undefined amount of time to get the battery replaced, I'd be PISSED.

I think that's true of the IPod as well. Just wear and tear.

No phone is worth six bills. Wait a year, it'll be half that.

The only people foolish enough to buy it now are what the marketing gurus call the "innovators", the ones who absolutely have to have the latest thing, regardless of the cost, to show off to their friends.

That was me, back in the early 80s, buying a two-head VCR when I still lived with mom and dad, with a corded remote that did only the basics, and dropping nearly a G on it. I've smartened up. The wide screen only came into the house at Christmas, probably half the price the 40-incher was a year or two ago.

True dat. Wait a bit. Speaking of ... did anyone see that Sony is dropping the price of the PS3 $100?

But, will it blend?



That is the question.
