My 1st gen iPhone rocks.

That's all I have to say.

My laptop is a mobile computer and it doesn't have GPS. The two are in no way synonymous with each other.

Brian Caulfield is more concerned with turning a cute phrase than accurate reporting or critical logic.

Even if RIM sells 17+ million per year, you think they might be concerned if out of nowhere someone sells 10+ million in their first full year on the market - what will they be doing next year?

Eh, GPS. Big deal. I'll stick with my 1st Gen iPhone for now.

I'll swap out miPhone for the 3G version as soon as the buzz slows down a bit, my wife will get the hand-me-down and be happy with it. Basic reason, the faster speeds. Sometimes it is painfully slow waiting, and waiting...

eh, I am on the 3g and have accss here in Houston to the 3g network. AT&T;has some work ahead of them. The 3g is not as fast as it has been touted

Tone down the snotty attitude MDN. For fook sake! The iPhone WAS an over priced, limited device. If not for the angry mobs the iPhone wouldn't have GPS or the App store.

"The iPhone did not need GPS to turn it into a mobile computer; it has been a mobile computer since its debut."

My first gen iPhone is great, but I'm still getting a 3G one, so I can give my 1st-gen iPhone to someone in my family.

My PowerBook doesn't have a GPS unit in it so it must not be a "real" mobile computer.

More interesting question: Is Blu-ray a possibility in future iterations of the Mac lineup? How about remote disk for iphone, AppleTV to launch movies from your home computers instead of the rigor marole (sp? - how in the world is that word supposed to be spelled?) I currently endure?

I also realize that you may need some hard/soft codec installed to convert the BD/DVD contents to a consumable format (mp4) for iPhone/iPod Touch/AppleTV. What's the status of this all-important feature???

Forbes. The BS magazine that knows really nothing about anything but is glad to spread FUD anywhere it will bring a click.

Sort of like those "rag" papers at the checkout...... Aliens abduct Elvis.

"The iPhone WAS an over priced, limited device."

You forgot to add - IMNSHO.

I consider it worth every penny from the day I bought it.
But I have decent paying job. The $100 credit was unexpected, not required and a nice touch. The free software upgrades just keep adding value.

Your values may not equal someone else's. I seriously doubt you'll understand that.

Caulfield's a moron:

Apple sold 1 million iPhone 3Gs in 3 days, and sold out of stock in many places. RIM sold 4.3 million Blackberries in 3 months. I think Apple's on RIM's heels.

3G and GPS have nothing to do with the iPhone now being considered a business alternative to Blackberries. Exchange, ActiveSync, and the iPhone SDK are what truly makes the iPhone a business tool. Sure, 3G speeds are nice and GPS can be helpful, but Exchange support and 3rd party apps are the real story.

...and RIM did that w/15 models, using most carriers... i'm not saying, i'm just saying...
