For a quick cure from your iPhone fascination, just take a look at Kottke's cardboard mock up. It's frightening how it loses it's gloss and charm next to that hairy arm.

My point about Cingular is this: AT&T, Cingular, whatever. I just hope that with Apple choosing an exclusive communications partner, it will not cause any kind of backlash in terms of the device usability or versatility.

I don’t want a communications provider to hinder the great advancements Apple is trying to make.

It looks like Cisco is suing Apple because they have their own iPhone and have owned the trademark for iPhone since 2000. Apple says that their cell phone is a different kind of product. Apple mentioned that there are other products out there with the iPhone name as well. I would think that Cisco wouldn't have much to stand on, if they haven't gone after these other companies as well. It will be interesting to see how this turns out. Maybe it is all just a PR stunt from Cisco. From CNN. From Cisco. Apple says: "We believe that Cisco's U.S. trademark registration is tenuous at best," . . . . "Apple's the first company to use the iPhone name for a cell phone. And if Cisco wants to challenge us on it, we're very confident we will prevail." Cisco says: "Today's iPhone is not tomorrow's iPhone. The potential for convergence of the home phone, cell phone, work phone and PC is limitless, which is why it is so important for us to protect our brand,"

I think Justin Timberlake made his ” Sexy Back” song just for this phone. Apple is not just good design. Apple is great design, because they redesign life.

Nate, Interesting link indeed.

So, will Apple eventually come out with a basic iPod (80 gig) with the touch-screen technology, for those of us that can’t get Cingular service or don’t want a really expensive cell phone? It will be interesting to see where they take the iPod line.

I took my Grandmother down to the corner last night to try and sell her for one of those things. The next guy ahead of me in the very long queue said some guys had been down there with their Grandmothers for hours, some camped out the night before the Keynote. No one was bothered about the long wait, some of us got to talking, some kicked ’round the Hackey Sack. My Grandmother is holding my place in the queue while I am at work. I’ll head back down tonight…

If Apple dominating the world is wrong, then I don’t wanna be right.

Actually, there's a great article on TIME.com about how Apple is wearing the pants in that relationship.
