Small thing can not do what the big can. So what was thought of “end of PC” is a hoax and is another strategy of those losing the battle.

Well, the only solution I could fine was http://www.Cellswapper.com – they get you out of any cell phone contract!

Sorry, but you do realize you need a desktop or laptop running Windows or Mac OS X to sync your calendar and address book, don’t you? And that you can’t download songs directly? You need a computer with iTunes to sync music or video to the iPhone.

I think it is a great device, really. I am actually going to get one. But I think, Om, you drank too much Kool Aid at the Apple party.

How much will the iPhone cost us really?

Of greater importance, I’m highly concerned that Apple will no longer make any desktops as they move toward consumer hand-helds. I’m whipping out my old dusty Atari before moving to PCs.

1) I think it is consistent with Apple’s iTunes hub strategy that you will not be able to download songs from the store into the iPhone directly. iTunes is a model that by now everyone understands and values.
2) I can’t wait to see the new generation of Video iPods. I bet they will have a similar form factor than the iPhone, just without wireless capabilities.
3) iPhone runs OSX. Why didn’t catch anyone up on that one yet? The possibilities of that move are endless. Buy a bluetooth keyboard and be able to work on your iPhone. Buy a iPod connector for display and have a full mac in your hand.
