It seems like a dumb move on apple's part to go with an exclusive company. I know they offered Verizon first but when they said no why didn't they just not make it exclusive. The phone to me seems like it is more aimed toward adolescents and young adults than to the business type but the business type are the ones who can really afford it not the adolescents and young adults. If they were aiming for the business type they would have made it available on the business network, Verizon. I think we are going to see that at this price point and being exclusive to at&t the iphone is going to start out pretty poorly. After all the hype dies down of course. I mean we are going to see the hard cores among us jumping carriers and spending the $600 on it but after that dies down it is going to flop, so within a year of it being out we are going to see that many other phones are selling better then the almighty iphone. I really think apple needs to change their strategy around a little bit here. It is like they can't decide who to market to. They have the iphone at a price that only business people and hard core gadget freaks like myself pay, on a network that has no business people. In the end we are going to see that it is only the hard core apple and gadget fans that are buying the iphone, at least if it stays at that price. And apple limiting themselves to one service is going to come back and bite them in the ass. Can't wait for the day the hackers figure out how to unlock them cause it does look like a beaut.

As for the new iPod, these are all rumors -- but many are guessing we'll see it before the year ends. We’ll see the iPhone in June.
