I don't know if anyone else saw an article referencing this, but I read something about Steve Jobs and how he doesn't own a cell phone willingly simply because he hates them all. Said something about they are rediculous and a waist of time and nothing new that he shows interest in. He's really picky about his hardware, we all know this, but I think one of the reasons Jobs is deciding to take this approach is somewhat of his ideas that were really shown in the article quoting his very words and ideas on teh cellphone market. He's looking to change the way cellphones are as he hates the current ones. I find it quite funny =D

Have anybody here used a "LG Chocolate KG800"? IPhone is just a bluff, it will not be as popular as its brother IPod. IPod is very unique but IPhone is a breed or a clone, father's name N91 Nokia and mother's name IMate K-Jam. Steve Job should have waited a little bit and work more on the IPod, maybe give it a little new look. Mr. Job should give those phones out for test. I need one and after two months, he will know the difference.
