Apple. TUAW. Engadget. TechCrunch. Sign up to be the first one in your area code to get one.
Realtors should raise hell right now with MLS systems and computerized forms vendors: You have six months to support this device. I’ve been a Treo user since before Palm reabsorbed Handspring. This is the best Realtor phone yet…
Think about live-blogging with this phone… Think about conference-call podcasting… This is laptopia reborn…

Just amazing. It’s like nothing ever existed before this. It’s not reverse engineering and focus-grouping for defects, it’s Pallas Athena, sprung from the head of Zeus fully formed and fully armed. The printer we’ll have to schlep to print the docs will look like a wart on a beauty queen…

Bluetooth plus 802.11 b and g (not n). Rough specs from my earlier post:
No word on the processor. If it’s Intel, then we might have a stipped down version of Parallels to run MLS systems and ZipForms.

I’d been techno-free so far today and the first place I read about the anticipated phone from Apple is here. The full details are here. http://www.apple.com/iphone/ Thanks for the update on this one. I don’t know if Mr. Ives penned the design for this one, but like the rest of Apple’s lineup; absolutely stunning.

If GSM coverage were reliable in my area, I would trash my four-month-old Razr.
My only regret is not buying Apple stock when I bought my first PowerBook.

Great product (however, I do miss the 3G connection) and brilliant user interface.
Talking about live-blogging and Engadget. Their coverage of Jobs keynote (http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/live-from-macworld-2007-steve-jobs-keynote/) was brillant. Tons of details with a delay of three minutes!

I saw
this story via scoble earlier – they bring up some very valid points regarding battery life. At least now, when I am using my iPod, Palm and Razr, I am drawing from three batteries rather than one. Still, were it not for their exclusive relationship with awful Cingular, I’d probably get one.

This thing is pretty. Very Pretty
It is a beautiful device. Apple does a great job, when they design a product to do something is does it well. just look at the iPod.
BUT, I don’t think its going to be the ‘new’ must have device from a productivity stand point.
You are NOT going to be able to video conf with this phone because Cingulars 3G coverage is piss poor compared to Sprint / Verizon EVDO coverage. If this was a Verizon phone it would be kool.
I will probably buy one just because it looks neato. But will this actually help you in Realty? We shall see.

Yeah, that Apple, they’re so innovative… they never copy anybody (*cough* Xerox STAR Computer *cough*)… 🙂
Looks like LG’s lawyers might wanna give Apple a call…

As a mac fan, I’m excited to say the very least. What a great tool for a realtor, but anyone in the professional world. I wonder if my wife will let me get one…:)

Apple really makes a great product. Their marketing campaign is really spectacular. This device is awesome. Just wait till the second and third generations phones come out. And you know Verizon and Sprint will come out with a copycat.

In Houston after the hurricane came through I tried calling many of my friends with At&t(the I-phone is only available with this carrier) and I could tell this company service was terrible. However, Verizon and Sprint were just fine. I would not buy the I Phone unless it is available on another network. If you cant make a phone call or hear whats the use.
