Gene and Jamie, check back in our Coffee Break category of posts as I think it was there that I spilled the beans. Not the coffee beans… ;)

I missed the full-time blogger announcement too. Congrats! Does this mean that we can expect/hope for more video reviews from you???

Full-time blogger, Kevin? Did you quit your day job? I must have missed that…

4-8gb memory, no wifi, slow EDGE, wow. I take back my previous comment about being a non smartphone media player only, it will be subpar even in this regard with that extremely limited storage and connectivity.

I’ll keep my window mobile device with a 4gb memory card, wifi and 3g to access unlimited storage on my hard drives at home and office,free streaming television/utube/etc., and of course the thousands of programs written for it.

with 4 or 8 GIGS of memory what do you need a card reader for? just put them on your desktop, and Itunes will automatically sync them over to the i phone

My reason for not choosing the iPhone is because it doesn’t have a card slot, which is a shame, since photos would look good in a nice, high res screen. Then again, I didn’t like the HTC touch either, coz its a pretender – a windows mobile wolf in touchflo sheep clothing…and you know what? I like my plastic qwerty keyboard keys to punch out IM’s and sms’s. I also tend to be more function than aesthetic centric too, and I find the big colourful icons a waste of screen real-estate.

just a thought…
Maybe people voted for the HTC because you have a lot of corporate readers who need push mail of the Outlook/Lotus Notes variety. For me, that is the one show-stopper for the iphone.
