Yep. Also whether it's an international phone or not -- I'm not spending $500 on something I can't travel with.

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

I say that if ND doesn't come here and say he's not getting one, that means he is getting one.

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.

I just wrote about this in Bitches, but it probably belongs here.

I don't care about the fact that it has a small iPod built in. I still want a nice big video iPod for all my music etc. I just want to replace the windows mobile phone with a phone that uses a Mac interface! So yeah, Mac is going to (as usual) make a fortune off of me.

I just was reading that. Yep the new iPhone is running OSX. Hmmm. Harbinger of more embedded OSX items?

The AppleTV is kinda' cool too - for its price, anyway ($299). The more video you have in iTunes, the more it makes sense to buy an AppleTV to display it on your TV. Currently I use my iPod to do that, but it's somewhat of a PITA and it's only at regular resolution, right? Plus my 60 GB iPod no longer has space for any video.

My computer sits right next to my TV, and it's plugged directly into it.

I love this at the bottom of each page:

This device has not been authorized as required by the rules of the Federal Communications Commission. This device is not, and may not be, offered for sale or lease, or sold or leased, until authorization is obtained.

Why can't be be like Europe, where a specific cellphone is not tied to only one phone company? Actually, I thought I read a rumor somewhere that the iPhone would work with multiple services....

Since Cingular has the exclusive, it's a GSM phone. It will work with other GSM providers once it's been unlocked. (Cingular usually provides the unlock codes after 90 days of service.) If you're with Verizon or Sprint, you're out of luck.

If anyone's looking for reasonably inexpensive unlocked phones (tri- and quad-band available), look at myworldphone.com: [link] Their shipping charge is high, but every phone has been as described, and I've received most of them within 24 hours of placing the order.

Once it is unblocked, that mean that I can take the little chip out of my t-mobile phone and put it in the unblacked phone?

Yep.
