“The dollar is THAT weak??”

And headed nowhere but down. Remember when one Euro cost less than a dollar? I have a library book here that still has the price sticker on it:
12.95 GBPounds
19.95 USDollars
22.95 Euros
29.95 Canadian Dollars
35.00 Australian Dollars

The book’s copyright date is 2003.

Oh, obligatory iPhone content: I can see no reason to disallow turn-by-turn directions unless Apple plans to sell such software at a high premium. Maybe as part of a package with .Mac, QuickTime, iTunes and AppleTV for $250/year?

#11 now, that was rude. Jimmy won’t be able to sleep tonight because the secure-a-feeling technique the shrink gave him was ruined by your comeback.

James, go to a mirror and repeat: ” I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and, doggonit, people like me!”

These stories have more weight when the two year cost of ownership is calculated. Most consumers are smart enough to know that “free” smartphones cost a lot because of the accompanying data fees.

#6 that’s easy: If you use your iPhone as a Tom-Tom, when someone calls you, you get automatically lost…

t-mobile was desparately trying to sell off their stock of iPhone V1 over the last few weeks. After the inital hype, the sales obviously fell off pretty quickly. Seems that a) 3G was important here and b) most Germans may not be quite so susceptible for the hype. We still have our share of Apple zealots, though.

They are currently busy to find arguments why it’s good for them that realtime navigation software is not allowed on the 3G iPhone.

#4 NO!

What I want is a 8 Mpixel camera with 6X optical zoom lens, that can place and receive phone calls.
