I'm waiting until the 2nd or 3rd Gen versions come out. Additionally, the iPhone is being upgraded this summer to run on other carriers other than AT&T. (June/July 2010 apparently) so I'm waiting for that version before I get one.

I really want Iphone but it very expensive here in aussie $1,000 for it my friend have one it make me feel grrrr i want one

My Motorola Razr is finally dying and I've decided that once the iPhone 4 comes out, I'm getting it. After reading the features I figure it'll be worth it. It's unfortunate it's still part of AT&T (who announced the recent cap on GB but it may still be fine):

Sweet! I order the iPhone this morning (after fighting for 3.5 hours trying to do an order). I should get it next week (hopefully, I can convince AT&T to route it to my work location).

I kind of want an iPhone.

I have an early macbook pro ... the ones that the batteries and power cords die often. other than that, I love it ... well, I've worn out the "e" and "i" keys completely, but I know where they are on the board *shrugs*. There is also an iPod, nearing 4 years old.

Recently, I started to buy an iPhone, but was determined to rid myself of AT&T forever, so I bought a Droid on sale at Best Buy. I can't figure out most of the functions, and the "instructional" booklet is a joke. So, I am going to make myself go back to BB and get bit by bit instructions on how to save a phone number, etc. I will say that the Droid takes fabulous photos with 8 mp available for use.

I am thinking that I will probably need to upgrade and get a new macbook pro next year. This one is my first ... I always wanted one because of the A-V features, but had to use a pc for work. Even with the lousy battery and cord life, which I understand is no longer a problem, I wouldn't give up the MB for anything! The iPod, however, I can live without... just not that technically savvy and it sits around for an occasional use.

If you need a PC for work and want a MacBook, then invest in my company's product: Fusion. This allows you to run Windows XP/Vista/7 (you'll have to buy those OSes separately) on your MacBook better than the PC hardware.

I missed this whole thread. I did buy one on the day it came out.

I use it a fair amount, but I don't read on it. After taking it on a ten day trip and leaving my Kindle at home for the first time I really missed the Kindle.

What would you like to know?

I was so good. I made it 12 hours without pre-ordering a new iPhone 4. I caved. I suppose I could just not pick it up, but what are the chances of that?

shh.

You don't use the Kindle app? I want to get the iPad so I can use it for the Kindle app (I use it on my iPod right now and wouldn't mind having the iPad for that). I know a few of my colleagues are using it for presentations (PPTs). I decided to hold off until it gets to 2Gen.

Did you manage to get the white or black iPhone 4?

I'm happy with my blackberry. I dont know how I ever lived without a smart phone. I have a mini pc I use mostly for Kindle. I couldnt see paying all that money for a kindle reader when I can load it on a mini and still have internet access. I love it.

I kind of do too, but Verizon has better service and I have a bigger company discount.

I am eyeing some Droid phones

[Linus]

Ok. It's bad that I get the iPhone during a week where I'm up early. I'm playing too much with it! The camera is ok but could be better. I do need a case. I'm afraid to scratch up the glass screen.

So, Justin and I just bought an Apple TV and signed up for the hulu plus service. We are sick of paying DirecTV 100 bucks a month to only watch a few shows that we can stream in Hulu for 7.99 a month. The only issue I am having is streaming AirPlay from my iPad. We like big brother and can't get the CBS episodes to stream to the television. I can't find the airplay symbol since it is streaming directly from the CBS web page. Is there a way around this? Also, can you use AirPlay with YouTube?

Thanks! :-)

Going to upgrade to new iPhone in September. I have loved my iPhone ! Also love my MacBook, upgrading to MAcBook Pro. Never had anything but an Apple as far as computers go.

I will be interested to see how you work this out. I will pick up an Apple TV unit mid-September (in case they make any changes, which I doubt), and will want to use it in a similar way with a Macbook air.

I think it's a safe bet that You tube will have to go through Mountain Lion since Google owns it. Apple is playing nice with some outside content providers, but I don't see that one happening.

i've had a blackberry for about a year and its getting old ~ so i figure its time to get a new phone (likely next month) so why not get an iPhone

[sylvie]

i can be just a tad technology challenged lol.
i do not have an iphone, though i do have a new smart phone and indeed, it is smarter than me. i just want to text and call people, my phone might be able to do my housework, i'm unsure .. i'm working my way up from my slide phone i had, lol!!

ANYway, Daddy bought me an Ipod, for running..
And i feel like i am joining the ranks in technology here, i have figured out how to use Itunes now with the help of some of Daddy's co-workers, and am sooooo happy listening to music on my runs now..i'm really loving itunes!

Glad for this thread though, incase i have questions!
