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.</p> 3) comments: 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.

The iPhone has most features consumers have been waiting to have. I also think the price will not deter people from buying the Apple iPhone. I even think they will sell more then the 10 million Apple iPhones they expect to sell within the next year.</p> I think it was a nice move for apple to come out with the apple iPhone.

Microsoft will always suck hind-tit when it comes to day-to-day actual life stuff.

I’m sure the ZUNE will KILL the iPhone. $300 for that piece crap?

All you Apple-haters, I have just one thing to say:
