Well, pretty much nothing. It’s just that everyone else is talking about them, and I feel left out. So, I was pretty happy to spot this:
Neither its ultimate availability nor the $499 price tag has stopped market forces from coming into play. Lazy buyers can choose line-waiters based on price and location. In California, one would-be waiter in Walnut Creek “will wait in line @ Apple Store in WC for 80 + Beer and a pack of Smokes.”
Two things come to mind… “80+ Beer” is not a bad deal, if you give the guy Milwaukee’s Beast- or if you want to go upscale, your own homebrew. Probably, though, you’d want to stay away from “80+” hight-test Imperial beers, Sam Adams Utopias, or DeuS Brut des Flanders.
Secondly- just one pack of smokes? It makes me wonder if the plan is to consume, while waiting, 80+ Beer and one pack of smokes. Yeah: better get him some 3.2 beer!

I look at it this way: the iPhone sports some interesting features, yes, but it occurs to me (and I’m certain this isn’t an original thought) that the original iPod looked chic at the time but now looks clunky and outdated. Inevitably the same will happen with the iPhone.
Not to mention that price. I whined and pleaded with Sprint just to get my current phone down to $30.
I guess I’m just cheap when it comes to cellular.
yeah, at that price, better come w/ AppleCare included.
I think they’ll add features and drop prices soon enough for my needs. In the meantime (throws Nokia across room; still dials) I’m not fussed.
Ever notice that cell phones never work where you need them? I mean, working WHEN you need them is one thing, but for boating, WHERE you need them is the big item.
Unlike hikers who also get screwed when their cPhones don’t work, boaters have two advantages: anchors, and lots of BEER!
from what I’m hearing re. iPhone, great numbers of them are working neither where nor when their new owners would like. Bummer! But not shocking. It’ll shake out in a few days and then we’ll start to hear the ocean-swell of praise only the Mac-koolaid-drinkers can muster.
dude. i only just got my first ipod. guess that means i’ll be getting an iphone in about 5 years.
also, mmm…beer.
