iPhone

I doubt I'll get one (not a big gadget guy), unless it's 3-4 years down the line. I wouldn't get a first generation one anyway, because by second/third generation battery life improves and a bunch of bugs get worked out. But it's still pretty damn cool.

$600 seems downright reasonable for ipod/phone/internet/digital camera

2 Megapixal camera. Don't get it for that last one. It still is a deal considering it's capabilities. Anybody see any mention of how much the plans might cost? How much are the plans for Treos and stuff?

1600x1200 (or widescreen equivalent) is plenty for any photos i'd be taking.

Hopefully this will cause a groundswell of support resulting in split #3 since I bought AAPL. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

(admittedly, due to non-balla status, I could only afford 50 shares, pre-bubble, though [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] )

I've been thinking about a new iPod, plus the screen will actually be relatively usable for video (compared to the current iPods, Zen Visions, etc.) and the WiFi/Internet functionality is a deal-sealer.

Only big issue is how quickly 8GB will fill up with video (God help the folks who get the 4 GB).

And Cingular (which BTW will be called AT&T by June) is iffy in Seattle.

Al,

To be clear, that was pre-bubble. It's now 200.

Also, to mini-hijack, anyone ever have a stock go 1-25 reverse split? I have. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

like, it's clearly a sweet phone, but man that's expensive.

Yeah, but to put it in perspective a trust fund buddy of mine spent like $2200 on a Motorola StarTac when they first came out circa 1995. We were all jealous because he had a flip phone. It may have even been on a digital network, can't remember, but ooh it was cutting edge. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

the treo/blackberry plans are expensive, but not many consumers actually buy them
