Mmm… Seems no one knows Apple stole the iPhone trademark! Cisco has filed a lawsuit against them and they’ve owned the trademark since 1999!

With the bad luck Apple has been having in court lately and with aggreement being worked out with Cisco to share the name, why chance a lawsuit? More backdoor stuff will come out of this and you may still get your iPhone, only it’ll be a Cisco brand at a much cheaper price.

Apple should have skipped using iPhone and called it just Aphone Not A iPod!

I totally agree – many of my friends think I am insane for wanting to spend that much money on what they see only as a phone – but i think it looks pretty cool.

and if I can get my company to buy me that is even better

= )

thanks again for the demo

Hahaha, that was the best. But think about it, you aren’t paying $600 for a bunch of gimmicks, these are all practical tools that nearly everyone could find a use for.

Quartecks – thank you for posting the demo video

Steve Jobs calling Starbucks to order “4000 lattes to go” – classic!

I think the iPhone looks fun – I like things that multi-function – It is the same reason I like my PSP.

I tend to spend a lot of time in dark DI bays waiting for things to render – that and standing in line at Disneyland – I like things to entertain me.

Actually I just checked again and I would go for the N2 … that one is super sweet and it is 10.1 Mp … now that is a slick azz digital camera with real stamina … 3003 shots with the large 3.0 LCD touchscreen to boot and the ability to store 500 VGA images. That is just plain sick!

That T-50 is very nice indeed … I would get that one if I were in the market for a camera … but the major one is the R-series … purely for professionals I would think. But yes the prices will come down so you may want to wait until around Christmas if you can hold out that long.

The one with the touch screen and the slide down viewfinder . I think its the T-50 but man its so damn high I might settle for the T-10 . I think it is the 7.2 megapixel. I been doing so research and some love it and some like it or dont like it. I dont know I seem to always want wont nobody else has yet lmao . I wanted the Razor when it came out , now I dont because everyone and they momma has one . All in all.. I have to say that this is what we will have to deal with when new products come out. Just look at Flatscreen Tv ,they were so high at first. Now they are more common and are thought to be $999 by the next holiday season th (42in ones). So im sure the Iphone will come down in do time.

The Sony Cybershot looks like a very nice camera I must admit … which model are you talking about though? The 7.2 megapixel one of the 10.2 deluxe one? Just curious since I will not be getting any more cameras … my 3.2 mp Kodak works just fine for me.

I saw this on Tv and the demo blew my away ! It is truely a next gen product I can see why its so damn high. I guess thats what we all get lol everyone wants the future and when it comes we all say its to high. I guess we should warp back into the 80’s when they had those big a** cell phones lmfao . I like it but damn I also want a Ps3 , a Sony cybershot and that sh*t is gonna hurt my pockets. I guess thats what we get for jumping ahead in the future. I dont know If cingular gives you a plan I might get one ,which im sure they will . Nobody will pay 600 dollars they will try to make a deal , like a two year contract just to get this product.

To each his own I always say … and yes it is more than likely that Apple will do well in this market segment with this product in the months ahead as I can see most iPod owners actually buying this product … some as Valentines Day gifts and many as Birthday and Christmas presents.

personally i think it looks awesome, and most of the people i’ve talked to like it as well… although it does look a little big for a phone. whether or not you like it, its just exciting to see how the cell phones are progressing. i do understand about the price and the 2yr contract. i have verizon right now and it sucks to have the same phone for 2yrs as you watch the new ones improve on many features.

I’m not trying to change your minds, I’m trying to get you to understand. This is exactly like with the iPod, people were like “Uh, der! why would i pay $300 for a thing that plays music when I could get a $20 CD player?”

You got me on that map stuff Josh … maybe if/when the price drops I MAY (HUGE MAY) consider it MAYBE (but I doubt it) … but we all know the “cool” “in” crowd will pony up the big bucks just to say they have one. Apple banks on that type of mentality and I hate to say it but they are usually correct. That’s why I can’t stand them. In many ways they appear to me to be just as arrogant as Sony. But of course that is just my opinion … take it or leave it.

Apart from the high price tab this looks like an extremely good phone to have if you don’t already own an iPod (which I don’t). The google maps function looks very useful (I got lost the other night and had to stop and ask for directions), and over all the touch screen makes it extremely easy to use. I can see how people would see this as a waste of money though because of the high price tab, especially in Australia where this will probably retail for over $1000. But it’s always worth waiting for v2 to come out.

You can’t change our minds about this Q-Man but you can go out and buy one yourself and tell us all how great it is once you get it. Have fun with it. That is pretty much all I have to say on the topic. One thing that did happen though is that their stock saw a pretty large increase … I think close to $6 … so obviously there are a lot of people who see things your way and believe Apple will do quite well in this market they are getting into. But for me it is a no sale.
