The iPhone

ever tryed using a touchscreen while driving???

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No thanks!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I dont have to even look at my current phone to write a message or do anything else (as long as ive done the task before)

I'd wager that almost every satellite navigation user has, and nowadays that's a lot of people.

that looks pretty sweet, altho way too expensive. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one if I had that money to throw around.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

also,

 

 

 

BTTF, you're not making any sence.

ipods are extrememly over rated~!!! :XD: anyway the phone looks ok, i would rather just get an ok phone, and mp3 player and a psp for that much money (and all of those would be a hell of alot better!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes you could buy those three items. But why would you add the PSP in there? There are MP3 players that play movies. Let's do a little price checking here..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your list:I'm making the MP3 player an iPod since this is a topic about Apple.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PSP - $250

 

 

 

Phone - ~$50

 

 

 

4GB MP3 Player - $200

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Total - $500

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A simpler list:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

30GB iPod Video - $250

 

 

 

Phone - ~$50

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Total - $300

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's nice to know our youth is willing to spend an extra $200 on something that isn't even needed.

Well, none of it is needed. I get by just fine without a hand held gaming device, mp3 player, or cell phone.

Mind telling me how I don't make "sence?"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's another good point - tactile feedback. Many people prefer the intuitiveness and definite feel of a mechanical button, and I imagine that using such a surface to try and dial or type while driving or something of that nature would be rather hard. Pressing three things on a satellite navigation system is one thing, typing ten numbers accurately on a 3.5" screen and hitting Send would probably be a bit harder.

You seem to know so much about how well a device functions that was only announced 2 days ago.

ever tryed using a touchscreen while driving???

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd wager that almost every satellite navigation user has, and nowadays that's a lot of people.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But satalite navagation is legal and most people mount the on the dash in direct line of sight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With a phone you need to keep the cops from seeing it so you need to take your eyes of the road to see what your doing.

There's a few places to have made it illegal, and I think more places need to. I've seen way too many people run red lights while dialing their phone. :roll:

Coming home from work the other day - guy was drifting between two lanes - yep; he was using a phone / pda / whatever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cops got him though; thought he was drunk \

[Celluzion]

I still prefer my N73.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe it's because I'm stupid with cellphones. I have no idea what my N73 can do besides play music, videos, text, call(with\without video), and Bluetooth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think, however, for USD $499, I could get an N73, and an MP3 player, AND extra pocket money.

[yomom1919]

500 bucks isnt that much compared to what the original ipod could do for 500 bucks when it came out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Im just concerned: how much a month is the contract? Im expecting it to be somewhere around 70$ a month. That would not be cool.

[vladmoney]

I think this is a good move by apple, multi-tasking devices is the future. It looks great too, i have been wanting to see a full screen mp3 player from ipoo for some time now. and the fact that it runs OS X. Smart move integrating that in. I am going out and buying as many Apple Inc stock as I can. I am def not getting one, but you know other people will flock to this. I just hope it doesn't have major glitches, but like that will stop the sales.

[Kaphias]

I think that I'll stick to my Apple laptop.

[Parabola]

and the fact that it runs OS X. Smart move integrating that in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It will be a cut-down version of OS X, like how Windows Mobile is cut-down. It won't be the same as on Macs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Actually it will be more cut-down than WM.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Consumerist[/url]":mowivr2w]Press reports today said the phone will not accept third-party applications

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bye bye major reason for owning one.

So I cant run Skype.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That really sucks because then my landline number (really a skypeIN number) would be alot more useful when at home.

[Parabola]

Some of the claims made on that video are hilarious.

[indy500fan]

You have to sign up for a two year Cingular agreement to buy it.

[Mercifull]

Most of the good phones in the UK require 18months. Its not much different.

[Parabola]

I disagree with that, if you want them to not cost extra that may be the case, but in all my dealings with O2, and getting the best phones from them, I have only ever had to do 12 months.

[Mercifull]

I also got the Sony Ericsson K800i for ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã20 on a 12mo contract the week it came out. But they don't normally advertise those kinds of offers publicly.

well obviously, but its still OS X.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was right about the stock, i heard on the news it went up like 8.7% in one day :shock:

[Parabola]

OS X that looks nothing like OS X and behaves nothing like OS X.

Cisco may lose the iPhone trademark in Europe, say trademark experts.
