oh yeah, people already are camping out i hear. whatever, let them spend their time. Also on craigslist people are paying people to wait in line for them. Like $100 bucks so for a high school kid doing nothing in the summer that isn't bad.

I am not even considering it. I mean the iphone (or ipod) isn't that much more special than things that are already out there. The ipod was never really that special but they marketed it well. I don't really understand how they did it considering there are many mp3 players that do the same and more for cheaper. The iphone is more special than the ipod in this sense. It is more unique to other phones than the ipod is to other mp3 players. It has an easier interface and it will have cool 3rd party applications that will be made for it. I think the 3rd party applications will be one of the more important parts but they'll cost money too. Still there are phones that do all the stuff the iphone do but cost 200 after a new agreement with a carrier.
