It's better than the iPhone ?

btw, I'm not concerned about the cost. Treo 650, cingular here.
I've not made a call on the iPhone, so can't comment on its virtues as a phone. But yeah, the iPhone certainly does a lot of other stuff, if that's what you're after. And if money's no object, then I say go for it! BTW, Jobs will have a new one to sell you in a year or so, so don't put your wallet away too quickly.

As for the "convenience" of having all that functionality in one device, that's just not lighting my fire. I'm way too connected already as it is! I need fewer pathways for knuckleheads to reach me, not more!
Yes, I may wait for the second gen. My typical rule is to not do the first and then skip every other but I'm damn tempted. Depends on the real reviews come July. I only want one gadget to cover it all.

I've spent a lot of time in japan. Their cell system in tight and has amazing bandwidth. The euro's too. It will really be something to have full G3 and the iPhone here in the states.

Yeah, it would probably be cool to have all that in one device, but I'm just too cheap to pay the premium necessary for that kind of convenience. And truly, I don't like being 100% connected 100% of the time. I waste VAST quantities of time on the web as it is--I can only imagine how my productivity would deteriorate if I could carry it around in my pocket with me. :)

Yes, I haven't had a tv in my place for over 2 years for the same reason. A mac in my pocket will be a convenience though.

- Not the same. (did you bother watching the Keynotw video?) Apple partnered with Google to make the most powerful version of Google Maps and Google Earth yet. So the version on the iPhone is not the same on your primitive Pocket PC (oops, there's the problem, you are afraid you'lll be left behind with your old school toy!)
Yea, the Most powerfull non yet existing version, untill a new version comes out... lol
to note also that there is no google heart on iphone, dunno where you got those infos from... apple ads? lol

Google Maps has been released today for our primitive Windows Mobile Pocket PC phones and Smartphones!!!

late again apple

:twisted:
