Look at all the Apple haters...jumping all over the iPhone, most likely without having tried or bought one. Then we have plenty of flat out false statements:
"Microsoft pushes dates all the time because they can. Apple can't."
Microsoft pushes dates because they are constantly trying to fix their bloated, flawed OS. Also: Apple pushed the release of OSX 10.5 to October because they wanted to make sure they concentrated on perfecting the iPhone before 6/29.
"They could have shipped the iPhone with EDGE capability, the EDGE network was there, but they didn't, and the reason they didn't was because they want to have 4X faster internet in their pocket for the next version so people who bought one now will have a compelling reason to buy one then."
Hmmmm. Then when I'm not using wifi on on my iPhone, why am I able to go online using EDGE? Why is this the second bullshit posting claiming the iPhone doesn't have EDGE? Maybe you meant 3G? I would hope so or you've just proven you know nothing about what a iPhone is capable of.
"But there really isn't anything special about Apple or its products."
Tell that to all the other cell phone companies that are crapping their pants over this release. Also: Name one, just ONE phone that does this much and is this easy to use. Either way, the neophobes are all out in force, trying to pisson Apple's parade out of jealousy. It's like they find the thought of Apple innovating as a threat? As if progress was ever a threat!
