that said, even if i had $600 to blow, i still wouldn't buy this thing. safari browsing, no 3g capabilities, and it's the same size as motorola brick phones from 1994.

I think even if the capacity isn't that large, and the battery life is marginally better than the compitition, it leads an exciting path. Just look at the ipod. The first one I got years ago had an 8 hour life span. By now, the nano gets 24. I wouldn't get the iphone now, but in a couple of years when it's refined, I think it will probably rock beyond all imagination.
