It's an iPod, a phone, and an internet communicator. Steve said is twice. An iPod, a phone, and an internet communicator. Most of the "what's missing" beefs have to do with things outside of these 3 areas. The good news is that this is simply the first version of the iPhone, and future versions will likely add many of the wish list ideas. In this sense, being locking into Verizon for a while will help me hold off a couple of years until Apple releases improved versions of the iPhone.

Remember Leopard show just enough features to tantalize, BUT NOT ALL OF THEM and NOT the BEST !!!

The iPhone is the SAME THING !

They must have also planned to make it a VOIP phone and that is why Cisco wants to work with it so badly.

I FEAR for Apple, I fear that they won't see that now is the time when a HUGE consolidation to begin in the computer industry -- maybe the biggest Wall Street phenomena of consolidate ever, Certainly since the Reagan years.

The company that buys the best small companies WINS, Google will own everything if some other company does not get smart and quick first.

IBM, HP, MS, DELL, Intel, AMD are too old, fat, and ugly to get it right.

Where is Speech Recognition for hands free operation with the Bluetooth ear piece? GPS & Google Maps, isn't a navigation App a logical conclusion? A camera and Internet access, so what about a mobile iChat? Think different a little bit more please.
