I won't be able to get one for a while. I just signed a 2-year Sprint contract a few months ago.
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Re: Battery Life. A quote from Macworld -
"The iPhone features a battery that lasts for five hours of talk time, video or Web page browsing, or 16 hours of audio playback."

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I'd want to hear how well the interface really works. It looks cool, but sometimes buttons are a good thing.
Yep. Also whether it's an international phone or not -- I'm not spending $500 on something I can't travel with.

Me, I'm happy to wait til they do a first revision. I guess I'm just not as geeky about handheld devices as others here. Hell, the only iPods I've ever 'owned' are Jilli's cast offs. I use the term 'owned' because I haven't actually used it.

I can relate. I have a MP3 player I hardly ever used despite being all loaded up with my audio stuff. I also have a cast off iPod that I haven't even gotten out of the box.

Yep. My first reaction is definitely WANT, but I'll be waiting until my Apple person tells me the bugs are gone.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So far I've managed to avoid cellphone contracts (I use a pay-as-you-go phone, as I don't use it that much). So at the moment I won't bite....
I say that if ND doesn't come here and say he's not getting one, that means he is getting one.

Engadget reported it was quadband, so it would definitely work abroad. Wifi too, to boot.

I can't even.

I'd think Kristin's message above means that ND is getting two ...
That device does look awesome, I wonder what the deal will be for Canada. I just bought a new iPod too, because my old 40G one was in a bag with a broken bottle of coffee.
