Meh

A phone. And a set-top box.

That's it?

1 You sound like a little kid on Christmas day.

2 The wide screen is essential. Just about every show is widescreen these days. Crescent Love is widescreen, and it won the worst animation honors with the cantalope (or did it?). So it's the killer feature. The rest is rather unimportant for me, and of course I regret paying for the telephone handset electronics which I am not going to use ever. But it's not all that much premium.

3 That wide screen?

It's exactly the same size and resolution as my Palm Pilot.  Which came out in 2003.

Hey, go easy on the Crescent Love.  I liked it!

B-b-b-but Pixy, you don't need a stylus!  *rolls eyes*  And you can prank-call Starbucks with it!

5 I think Pete was referring to the TV box with his "wide screen" comment.

6 I meant the iPhone, and by the way, its resolution is far higher than that of any Pilot, at least in DPI figures. But it was brought to my attention that the memory capacity is miniscule on the device (4GB). I'd need to put all anime on SD cards. This makes it suck harder than PSP, which can do the same today, costs 2 times less, and has a bigger screen (physically bigger, not in pixels).

7 I meant the iPhone, and by the way, its resolution is far higher than that of any Pilot, at least in DPI figures.

I double-checked. Both are 320x480.  My Palm Pilot has a 3.9" screen, as against 3.5" for the iPhone, so the iPhone is 10% better on DPI.  That's higher, but not far higher.

8 I blame Steve Jobs' mind rays.

9 Me too!

10 If you don't want the phone, but want the other goodies, just be patient. I'd guess not much more than a year before the next gen ipod launches. In the keynote, Jobs made a big deal about the three devices in one (iPod, Phone, internet communicator) I don't doubt that one day there will be an iPod that is also an internet communicator that is not a phone.

11 Well, the iPhone is six months away in the US and probably a year away for Australia, so we may very well get the video iPod first.

12 I, for one, welcome our new telephonic overlord.

Buy one. Become "cool". Conform ......

13 And apparently you can't install your own software on it because you might break Cingular's network or something.

Yay.

I still haven't figured why I got a phone with a camera in it when that was the Next Big Thing.  Maybe it was the horror in the eyes of the Radio Shack guys when I told them I won't buy a new phone more often than once every 4 years.

GPS is the frst useful feature I've wanted in a cellphone since the belt clip.
