Anybody want to explain why you are paying for something you can get for free to begin with?

There are a few other options than paying Apple (or anyone for that matter).

You could watch it when it airs, watch it online or via Tivo or some other DVR?

Is the portability the sole selling point?

I don't get it and obviously never purchased a tv show on line. If I don't want to take the time to watch it with one of the above methods, I figure I obviously don't want to watch it that bad to begin with.

You mean to tell me the LG phone is even SMALLER than the iPhone?!?!

Pretty soon they are going to be so small they are going to disappear into thin air.

Call me crazy, but I like something I can hold on to.

Gottabemobile.com is reporting they will come in at less than a grand. They've also got a pretty thorough video review up as well if you scroll down a bit.

Michael, that was FUNNY!

But I also agree with other posters. I think it would have been better in black to match the color of the PS3. They'd make a nice pair. And if you had a PS3, you wouldn't need the Blu-Ray which bring me to - why does the computer cost so much???????????????

It should be cheaper. Sony is still trying to be the Apple of the PC world by packaging average stuff in a pretty white case and charging 2x as much as they should.

There, I said it.

No, this works for Engadget.

Start an OS flame war to drive traffic.

I never even heard of the guy but you can bet the Mac fanboys will be here in droves to defend/discount/debunk his personal assessement of the platform.

Anybody else notice the lead article and headline has been changed to be a more accurate assessment of the truth without the Apple fanboyism?

Thanks Engadget for stepping up to the plate and, while not admitting any wrongdoing, at the very least having someone re-write a more fair and accurate account of the actual story.

The Apple faithful have nothing to worry about, I'm sure the iPhone will still go on to sell a gazillion units anyway. Just not a gazillion in one weekend.

Faster processor (2x) and the aforementioned 3G. Slightly better camera and other minor tweaks. But if you like your Dash, you'd probably like the upgraded processor and getting away from Edge.

I for one love my Dash having gotten it unlocked for use on AT&T. Now if the persistant rumors are true of it somehow landing on AT&T (not really sure why this rumor has legs since it is obviously the upgrade to the Dash on T-Mobile), I know what my next phone will be when it's time to upgrade.

And your basing those numbers on .... what?

I'm not iPhone hating (far be it to me to complain while standing in the mouth of the lion) just wondering like Neeko.

If this was the end-all-be-all of everything ever created in the world, I would be looking for Apple and AT&T to have held a joint press conference by now rubbing it in everyone's faces by showing us the numbers.

Hasn't happened yet and the verifiable numbers thus far say while good, this certainly hasn't left the stratosphere yet.

Again, not hating. Apple fanboys, please don't send me e-mail death threats. Your phone will probably cure cancer and end world hunger before too long.

Until then, just show me the numbers.

Problem is Engadget linking to a different account of the story.

Here's the New York Times article of the same story with a somewhat more sober assesment.

Gotta love the iPhone but 146,000 with only 40% being new subscribers, AT&T revenue is coming from elsewhere.

Here's my assesment:

Finally some Windows Mobile love starts to return.

I find it amazing the things you can do with Windows Mobile and have since my Pocket PC days.

No need for me to follow the masses, I've got everything I need in Windows Mobile 6.

Thanks for an excellent post.
