I hope it's not some underplay by Apple.... Same user posted it twice.

Sending this video to Sift Talk for discussion (sent by gold star member farhad2000)

clearly it's showing a very different but another very important function of this phone thingy ... which i think is overpriced ($499) and overbloated!

hence, the 2 videos ...

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Also, I don't think Apple would need to go viral on this one. I think I heard something about this thingy on the Internets somwhere. *return

Returning this video from Sift Talk (Returned by gold star member dag)

Apple Inc is simply the Dark Sith. You are all under it's dark shroud.

Cover Flow: glide through albums using multi-touch display and innovative new software that lets you control everything using only your fingers

It's the buzz phrase Apple is using.

I can see the instant techolust attraction but I CAN use my existing phone. It isn't as well thought out as this but I just need the phone to work and make calls. Sure if you have the money this is slick stuff but the most beneficial effect of it's introduction will be to improve phone design across the board. I certainly couldn't afford one. Also you'll have the same old problem with the non-removable battery which is typical Apple.

Remember that OS X is running on the gadget. You have a touch screen that allows for further innovations rather than being limited to a set keypad.

That's the pitch at least.

Deano raises an excellent point. Are we over designing something that essentially only is supposed to make calls, maybe SMS or check the time? Are we simply being sold an idea when we can take pictures on it, videos, phonecals, sms, music collection, email, internet, and probably in the near future our entire identification and monetary stock?

There is a large resurgence of mobile phones being stripped down to bare minimals which are selling exceptionally well because the boomer generation mostly needs a phone that works and is easy to use not a digital swiss army knife. Largest emerging market is going to be the retiring generation.

Me I just like simplicity. k.i.s.s.

From what Jobs said in the keynote, I believe that there are plans beyond this just being a combination phone/i-Pod. Remember this will have the operating system that is normally on a Mac PC.

By losing the keypad, it leaves the device wide open for more to come.


The keynote is bottom left of the page. It is 1:47:00 or so.

I will admit to not being over-enamoured by most things Apple. Gave my Nano away after I really couldn't be bothered to keep hacking my PC to workaround the dreaded iTunes. I just like (non Mac) PCs given their flexibility and better value for money.

I wonder if having OS X in there is a problem - will people need to upgrade less to new Apple hardware when software is the driving force?

Still if it was a third of the cost and they were offering it in the UK I would probably snap it up

this thing better come with earphones or my journey on public tansport is gunna get even more annoying -_- booo hisss

And Yes, it was so awesome that I posted 2 videos. I almost posted three.
