monophonic Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 the reality distortion field got me again: I WANT ONE. FUCK 499$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 The reality distortion field sure does turn "want" into "need". But I'm running a business and the distortion field is going to have to try a whole lot harder than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 FUCK 499$499 wouldn't be so bad if you didn't have to take out a 2 year contract! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monophonic Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 499 wouldn't be so bad if you didn't have to take out a 2 year contract! True - but lets wait and see the contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I can't help but think that there's a degree of idea floating going on here. Apple have never made a product like this before so instead of committing to a product and sticking to it knowing that the market will lap it up, they're coming out with it early to see what people think so that they can tweak and change the concept. Outside of the original wow factor, there's now some clear thinking being posted around the net about the good and bad things about the iPhone. The thing is that Apple might not even get this product to market as quick as they'd like if the number of lawsuits being touted around is true. This has the potential to make or destroy Apple. It's quite risky for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite risky for them. I doubt that its that risky. Its another piece in their "digital life experience" and fits well into their product portfolio. Apple has 3 nearly independet businesses today: iTunes Music Store, the iPod and their classic PC business. The iPhone and AppleTV are two more to come. If one fails they will burn a significant amount of money - but that wont kill them. Btw: Apple has made a product like this before: the Newton. In relation it was even a lot more riskier because it was the first PDA at all. And even the failure of that didnt kill Apple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
