What is Digg?106 Comments
- revjustin2, on 05/23/2008, -1/+47Lame article. 90% conjecture. 10% fact.
- Pliep, on 05/23/2008, -14/+48Buried inaccurate. Nobody has ever seen the second iPhone and yet these people seem to "know" everything about it.
- postalblowfish7, on 05/23/2008, -0/+33The title should read:
"Everything that has been speculated about the product we still know nothing about." - Armor1901, on 05/23/2008, -2/+29I for one prefer the aluminum casing. It just looks pimp.
- totorototoro, on 05/23/2008, -0/+16"iPhone 2.0: Everything you need to know, based on what we actually know, which is absolutely nothing."
- nads, on 05/23/2008, -0/+14This article is not "Everything You Need To Know" but "Everything You Already Know".
What It Will Have: 3G, Iphone 2.0 Software.... thanks that was useful. What about the camera? Surely the camera is important. - ianbirtwistle, on 05/23/2008, -1/+12"Fortunately, in the tech world, there's a fourth choice: upgrade."
Well actually you have that choice in a relationship too. Your just considered a bastard for it. - nytejade, on 05/23/2008, -0/+10I'll assume the end-user experience you have on the iPhone extends to the Internet and maybe some in-store display. Take it from someone who has owned a few different smart phones, the iPhone is fantastic. Windows Mobile, on most phones, is a clunky end-user experience. It's inefficient.
The iPhone reinvented that experience, and greatly succeeded. Beyond a few quirks, there are only 2 significant complaints I can make about iPhone v1:
1) No Exchange support.
2) No 3G.
Still, I'd take an iPhone v1 with EDGE over my previous phone running WM with EVDO ANY DAY. Why? Because Windows Mobile Internet Explorer is HORRIBLE. Navigating websites was a task in itself. The Safari browser with multi-touch and zoom totally changed the mobile browsing experience. - kiensoy, on 05/23/2008, -2/+11So this is basically an article with all the rumours that we have read about over and over. Is that all I need to know?
- inactive, on 05/23/2008, -4/+13I am tired of all of these iPhone stories. Rumor after rumor...blah blah blah.
Enough already! - daines88, on 05/23/2008, -0/+8I for one will be pissed if the iPhone turns into another plastic hunk of crap. The glass / aluminum feel to the iPhone is what makes it special (hardware wise anyway).
- nads, on 05/23/2008, -3/+11You see that's not correct.
The iPhone does things that Nokia, SonyEriccson, Samsung, HTC and the awfulness that is Motorola have failed to do in the last 8 years of tech advancement. They arrogantly failed to look at what the audience wanted but rather what they thought we wanted.
The iPhone 1.0 is not perfect but it's helluva lot more enjoyable than some of the pap out there and it's what thousands of tech savvy people want. Only now are the likes of Nokia creating integrated devices. - sonnygill, on 05/23/2008, -2/+9Looking forward to it next month, especially if its at the rumored price point!
- edstate, on 05/23/2008, -2/+9"horizontal keypad for e-mail and text mode"... now there's something I was simply SHOCKED to find wasn't on the original. I mean, WTF? The keyboard should flip orientation just like everything else. Jeesh.
- thebza451, on 05/23/2008, -0/+6umm... you can download the iPhone 2.0 software when it is released on your first-gen iPhone, it's a firmware upgrade, not an actual new phone.. it'll be free to download too.
the 3G model is going to have a few new features but will also be running on the same iPhone 2.0 software as all of the first-gen phones. - Morky, on 05/23/2008, -0/+6Consider how many people must be involved worldwide in the development, sourcing, manufacturing, and distribution of the new iPhone, and there has not been a single leak in the pipeline. Hell, there isn't even a single anonymous comment on the Web on how well the Exchange support works from anyone in the iPhone Enterprise Beta Program. Apple's ability to keep a secret a secret has been work out to an art. I'm impressed.
- ho0ber, on 05/23/2008, -2/+8I love it (no I don't) when I get nailed with 2-3 of those talking flash ads on either side of a website.
"H-h-h-hel-l-l-o-o-o y-y-y-o-o-o-u-u-u h-h-a-v-e j-u-u-u-s-t-t-t w-w-w-o-n-n a-a-a-n-n i-i-i-p-o-d-d-d n-a-a-a-n-n-o-o-o."
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! - Wootstapler, on 05/23/2008, -2/+8"Web Image Save: You'll be able to save Web images from Safari to iPhone's photo album."
Please oh please!!! If the PSP can do it, why can't the iPhone? - MacParrot, on 05/23/2008, -0/+5Depending on what the new iPhone has to offer (and it's price), I may actually buy one. It's been easy to resist so far as it offered me little of what I wanted and not enough storage to replace my iPod.
- clockdist, on 05/23/2008, -0/+5The reason people overlook Windows Mobile because *it* f---ing sucks!...at least compared to the iPhone.
It doesn't matter how open your platform is if it sucks. - jggube, on 05/23/2008, -3/+8I probably can't dump my iPhone anytime soon - I barely use all of its features as it is.
- inactive, on 05/23/2008, -0/+4Dugg for blitzkrieged.
- TieDNKnotZ, on 05/23/2008, -0/+4count me in
- nads, on 05/23/2008, -0/+4That is so far from the truth, I own 0 Apple products! Not one. I just appreciate the way they shook up the mobile phone industry.
- novenator, on 05/23/2008, -1/+5I agree. The 2.0 megapixel is ok, but the lens is far too small, there is no optical zoom, and no customizable options (black and white, sepia, etc.).
- spikeyxx, on 05/23/2008, -0/+4I don't know who I'm angrier at! Apple for being so damned secretive, or the press for making up features and driving us up the wall!!! It makes me almost angry enough to not want to buy one.... straight away.....on release day....... sigh..... I'll be at the front of the line hanging my head in shame as I hand over my money :P
- D4rkDrago0n, on 05/23/2008, -0/+4flash will be coming to iPhone soon enough.
Adobe released a lot of the specs for Flash 10 so it could be ported to other platforms. iPhone seems like one of the one's that would be high up their list - yabos, on 05/23/2008, -2/+6iPhone 2.0 software runs on the current phones. Yeah no 3G but for many it's not needed, just a nice to have feature.
- clockdist, on 05/23/2008, -0/+4Video camera is what it really needs, which is nothing but a software upgrade. A flash would be nice (as in camera flash, not Adobe), but I know I'm dreaming.
- prezzy, on 05/23/2008, -1/+5says 24imac
- DanBoodro, on 05/23/2008, -1/+4that would be me :D
- h2d2, on 05/23/2008, -0/+3I really don't care about the price of the phone. What matters is the price of the service you pay every month (it adds up). For me, it's just foolish to leave my $30 a month SERO plan with 500 minutes, unlimited 3G internet and unlimited text messaging for $60 a month with 50 less minutes and only 200 texts.
May be if Apple can convince AT&T to drop that plan to $49.99 and offer unlimited texts, I can think about dropping SERO and paying a $200 penalty to get an iPhone 2.0. - SPECOPS, on 05/23/2008, -0/+3".....hell out $400-$500 for a new one?..."
- The rumor is AT&T will subsidize this one, so if you can sell yours early for 100 or 150, your net loss may only be 50-100 depending on the subsidize value (maybe around 200 for a new 2 year contract, who knows). - fantasticjon, on 05/23/2008, -0/+3It's surprisingly durable. I've broken my fair share of nokias and motorolas too. I am surprised I haven't broken my iphone yet.
- snassiri, on 05/23/2008, -0/+3Yeah, iPhone 2.0 is a software upgrade, not a hardware one. While there will probably be a new phone to coincide with iPhone 2.0 software, you can still use the iPhone 2.0 software on your existing software, although it may be possible that the new phone has some "exclusive" features in 2.0 that the original phone won't be able to access.
At any rate, Flash is just a plug-in that could be developed for the iPhone 2.0 software. - kitsua, on 05/23/2008, -2/+5By the time my current contract with o2 is up (in about a year), the price will have dropped, new features will have been added and any problems will have been ironed out. Until then, my first-gen iPhone does everything I need. I'm still intrigued about what's actually going to feature in the 2.0 release, but I'm more impatient about the new MacBooks range.
Pretty good article compared to the usual two-line rumour guff. - Kazaki, on 05/24/2008, -0/+3I also have reflective sunglasses.
- inactive, on 05/23/2008, -0/+3That makes his argument even more effective.
- novenator, on 05/23/2008, -6/+8I agree with everything you said except the flash. I dont want to surf the net and get blitzkrieged with ads
- dadeef, on 05/26/2008, -0/+2Some people do
- Ziziros, on 05/27/2008, -0/+2are there any rumors at all going around about that?
i'm hopimg for a better camera . . .
if the iPhone really is a universal device i want to be able to ditch my digital camera at home when i don't need all 7 megapixels - alansky, on 05/23/2008, -0/+2Totally lame article. Pure speculation. Depending on whose opinion you read, the new iPhone will either be thinner and lighter or thicker and heavier!
- ahpro, on 05/23/2008, -2/+4Don't believe it. I looked back at all the iPhone news today from before it was out and most of it was wrong.
- ausfahrt, on 05/23/2008, -0/+2Exactly. I think only 2 points were actually confirmed and one of them was loose. It will have 3g and it will have new firmware but we dont know what that includes.
- inactive, on 05/23/2008, -0/+2here here!
- shank2001, on 05/24/2008, -0/+2I will be very sad if they get rid of the metal housing. make it brushed metal, if they must to prevent scratches, but KEEP IT METAL
- wonkavsn, on 05/23/2008, -0/+2The feature I`m looking forward to the most is 802.1x support.
- clockdist, on 05/23/2008, -0/+2Wrong device.
- shank2001, on 05/24/2008, -0/+2I have owned many smart phones, and they all suck. Slow responsiveness, especially when downloading data in the background. Crappy interface. Clunky. I HATE Them. I have an iPod Touch, and have tasted what a REAL phone could be like, so I will be in line for the new 3G phone, I am through with windows mobile forever.
- fantasticjon, on 05/23/2008, -0/+2They didn't give us what we wanted, not what they thought we wanted. They gave us what the phone companies told them to give us.
I love my iphone, but I would have loved it more if apple would have only sold it at their stores with no contract with any phone company. Sure, we wouldn't have visual voicemail, but that is not a huge deal. Apple could have liberated us from the phone companies and made them what they really are: a commodity service to carry voice and data. -
