2 MP camera is on the back...they announced that towards the beginning.

Wait...will this not work for Verizon for just regular calling features?

it's gsm, so unless they announce a cdma version (the communications standard verizon and sprint use), no dice.
 
The way the guy on macrumorslive.com said it, it sounds like it might even have a hard drive. "This...is the new iPod. pretty cool"

has to be solid state...otherwise it will break...basically the same concept as jogging with your ipod video. all in all a bad idea.
 
I'd hope that Apple doesn't do something like that.

There are many people who aren't into convergent devices. (me being one of them)
Don't force me to buy a phone, when I only want an Mp3 player...

I don't think they'll do that. They're just spending a lot of time on the phone because it is a HUGE development.

8gb of flash, just like the nano. This is possibly the coolest piece of consumer electronics I've ever seen.
 
the battery life has to be shitty on this thing with all the stuff they put in it....
 
IDK... I'd feel like a total nerd using this iphone in public.. .haha. Too much for me right now.


I'm with KaosDG. We want a new IPOD!
 
haha and i'm still in shock over this thing to be honest. i'm sure the price will slap me in the face though lol
 
CES 2007 SUCKING so far

Bill Gates.....freakin boring nerd as ever. People were dozing off during his "keynote"
But LONG LIVE JOBS!!!!!

And I own a pc too. :eek:
 
i really hope they come through with all these promises about this phone. this could be revolutionary.
 
apple's stock up five bucks today already haha. Should have bought some to pay for all the shit I'm gonna buy after keynote.
 
i dunno if anyone mentioned this but i think the apple tv is kinda lacking if it doesn't have a tuner card in it. i figure if you're gonna try and go after some of the media center market you'd put a tuner card in it at least so ppl don't have to switch back and forth.

Who needs a tuner card? I'm glad it doesn't have one. I've already got a DVR with a big hard drive. I just want something to watch movies and TV shows and listen to music from my computer. In HD. I'll probably get one assuming it's sufficiently compatible with video formats.
 
Still no carrier announcement. :(

Yeah. And he hasn't hit us with the price either. I'm sure it will chip away at the excitement built. :(
But omg still want one. Geez and he partnered with google on this one too! Have you guys seen the still photos yet? Godamit its internet in your pocket!

that brings up something else....40gb is not NEARLY enough space
 
" I just want something to watch movies and TV shows and listen to music from my computer. In HD. I'll probably get one assuming it's sufficiently compatible with video formats."

There are already a TON of these types of devices. apple tv is nothing new. I'd rather it had dual tuners, cable card support, etc.

I run 19 miles a week with my HD-based iPod and its never once showed signs of damage. My dad runs more than that with his and, like mine, its never once shown signs of slowing down. I'm sure everyone's logic is sound when they say this (moving parts blah blah blah), but I've owned iPods for about 4 years and have never had a single problem with a hard drive failing.
 

it's just on cingular's network. It probably won't be offered exclusively through any one carrier, if it's offered through carriers at all. Doing this will allow apple to ship the phone with the OS that it intends consumers to have, not some mangled version that a carrier requires (look at what verizon does to a lot of the firmware on their phones, not to mention things like crippling bluetooth).

Then tell me what to get. I want HD support, digital audio out, visualization, and remote control. I have a thread asking for suggestions and no one has any. Help me out.

well thats good. but in general...with the abuse that a cell phone would take, it would have been a very bad idea to put in a hard drive. good thing SSD is up to 8gb+ now lol
 
Gawd, can you imagine down the line as this product gets updates? Generation 1.0 is already so damn hot! :eek:
 
For most people I guess you are right. Don't want to have it getting dropped constantly...

I hope they announce a version without a phone (for the other half of the nation that are Verizon customers) with a hard drive but still with OS X and Wi Fi.
 
Temporarily. It syncs with what you want it to sync with.

eh...why have 2 places store it? if you had one with a bigger drive you can just have it there and not have to wait for it to transfer over. i think they coulda done somethin with the mini...make it a bit taller vertically so you can have 2 drives in it for extra expansion and then add some tuners and whatever else you need.
 
Bling bling.

The price is inline with the smart phones when bought without a contract.
 
not coming out till June... 4GB and 8GB versions eh? Didn't catch it... are they expandable as far as hdd space?
