I'd include more links but I'll set off spam filters and nobody would see this. There's nothing revolutionary about iPhone, and in my opinion, a phone without tactile feedback isn't a good phone at all. Nor mp3 player, video player, camera, etc. Is it the integration? Can't be, Windows Mobile 5 does everything iPhone does. Surely, not as nice a UI by any means, but at least it's not a closed environment limiting you entirely to Apple's software. That's like leaping backwards over a decade in cell phone advancement. What’s revolutionary about it? Touch screen interface for a phone? Multi Touch?

But if you think of it as a revolutionary smart phone with OS X (normal smart phones run for ~$300-$400) + an ipod (~$200), it makes perfect sense. It's really a lot more like a PDA running OS X with a phone built in. If you think of it just as a phone, then yes, it’s crazy.

(granted it does look sexy) it's just too expensive in my opinion. No! $500 for a phone is crazy! (granted it does look sexy) it’s just too expensive in my opinion.
