I know a few people here hate Apple like it\'s a rash on their scrotum....but I just can\'t help but want to scratch it and say "Apple has more new gadgets!"

man was I ever excited at work during the keynote.... Macworld is always like the 2nd christmas and this one for the most part delivered... I for one will buy this thing the day it get\'s here.

Surprised and disappointed with the lac of Mac related stuff, this is Macworld after all. Since I was looking forward to some juicy Leopard info.

Anyhoo, damn that thing looks good though.

that thing kicks ass.  Out of curiosity, is anyone here going to drop $600 for a 2-year contract?

@gman- the only thing i don\'t like about Apple is 90% of the people who use them.  Talk about snobby & clueless.  It\'s nice that Apple is "thinking different" and all these nice, uber-expensive gizmos are coming out, but do they have to dog the pc every chance they get?  Why can\'t they enjoy their systems without having to feel superior by putting down a competitor?

Everyone else bashes Microsoft, but if Apple does it, OH NOES! People have been bashing on Apple and Microsoft for years. I really don\'t care about the negative comments about either. It\'s like how Sony and Microsoft b**** about each other\'s consoles all the time. It\'s nothing new.

I likey the iPhone a lot, but I\'m disappointed that there wasn\'t any real Mac news. Say about Leopard or iLife 07.

I have a phone my work provides for me for free. And 99% of it is used for personal calls since hardly anyone at work calls me. :)

Free > best gizmo of the year

And you can watch widescreen movies on it? Surf the Internet with a real browser over wifi? :)

I still haven\'t bought my first cell phone. Never cared to bother with an mp3 player I wouldn\'t use. Or a portable DVD player I\'d never look at.
 
This is a fancy, useless waste of $600 for me. I dunno.

To be honest I don\'t really care about the phone aspect of the iPhone. I\'d much rather have just the widescreen Ipod + wifi/Internet and a large harddrive (80+ gigs).

Same here. I probably would buy the iPhone just for that alone since I have a free mobile already.

Looks pretty sexy. If I had money to blow, I probably would buy it. But 600 dollars. I don\'t have that kind of money just sitting around. Maybe when I make it to the real world ;)

Looks pretty damn cool, definitely not going to be an early adopter though, don\'t want to pay that much for the few features I would use.

Apple being sued (http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=4272) over name iPhone.  Seems Cisco had trademarked the name back in 2000, but looks like Apple\'s coming out swinging on this one.
