Downloading now. It’s great how Apple’s releasing these tidbits of info almost daily, whetting everyone’s appetite. Too bad all I can afford is mac’n'cheeze in a box.

No ringtones or ringbacks from the music library. Disappointing.

Why doesn’t Apple release things like this in podcast for AppleTV

It seems anytime they release a video (commercials ect) they would make it available to watch thru AppleTV

Neurolinguistics programation for the brain “Buy the iPhone, Microsoft is bad.. obey my dog…” well, not really, with great products like that, Microsoft is the one who need to re program thier brains..
No Thanks!

This whole thing – device and its software – is one big beta test. They should pay me to work it all out for them. No thanks!

Amazing.

This week I’ve seen people refuse to buy Apple TV because it doesn’t have visualizers and now people are refusing to buy iPhone because you can’t install your own ringtones.

As I said then, it’s like refusing to buy a fantastic car because it doesn’t come with Hello Kitty stickers.

Ringtones???

I really hope you people are kidding here. If there’s one thing that drives me batty, it’s being subjected to all those obnoxious ringtones in public – pop songs, jingles, etc. When I hear a cell phone ring with anything but a halfway traditional ringer, I want to walk up to that asshole go medieval on the jerk-off or at the very least do a Balmer-office chair on his lame ass!

Ringtones are for pre-pubescent, mindless follow-what-dumbasses-say-is-cool turds!

I couldn’t help but notice that the iPhone had no problem opening Office documents. The FUD Masters will not be pleased.

I won a car in a church sale and refused it… didn’t like the brand. Life is too short to waste time on compromises. Sure I could have sold it but… no time car sales is not my profession.

Suhweet. I’m so hoping that the monthly fees will be low enough to allow me to actually use this thing.

It would be so hobbled without a data plan unless, I suppose, you are constantly bathed in wi-fi.

All told it might be cheaper to buy a handful of Airport BS’s and give them to the places I most frequent. Now that would be a trip. (“Hi Grocery Store manager, I’d like to ask you to install this for me, emm-kay? And make the password ‘no data plan’. And don’t turn it off, yeah? Cool beans. Now to the car wash.”)

I called it. To learn more secret features of the iPhone go back and watch the WWDC ’07 keynote and think “iPhone” instead of desktop or laptop. It’s got Leopard in it. Quickview shows MS docs. Therefore, no big surprise.

The video is very well done — a great way to get a quick intro to the phone’s operation and features. I feel like I should be able to jump right in next Friday.

And, oh year, for all the FUD mongers who keep trying to confine the iPhone’s impact on the enterprise, bad news: It can open and manipulate Microsoft Office docs. Actually, the multitouch navigation and zoom are pretty cool. I could easily see using it, in a pinch (pun intended), to deal with a critical document while passing through an airport.

MW: “designed” as in SJ saying design is more than how the thing looks and feels but how it works.

I don’t know Dave. I’ve been one of iPhone’s biggest skeptics as a business phone but I think this is pretty big. We haven’t seen iPhone open an office doc until now. I have a real hard time believing that it won’t display inline graphics.

They went to this much trouble, I seriously doubt they did a 1/2 assed job of it..
