iPhone and Apple TV

Honestly, I'm not even excited. If it had a 60 gig HD then I'd be excited. Till then it's just a novelty.  

"I'm just like you only shorter."

If there are rebates that would be awesome.  My hubby has the Ipod and he wanted to buy me one, but I kept telling him that the Iphone was coming.  So when they finally announced it I was ecstatic, until they announced the price!  oh well I am sure if I keep holding out with my two year old crumy phone I'll be able to afford it!!!

iPhone Rumors. Reported today by pcworld.

Is there any other tech device that is more of a magnet for rumors, many completely unfounded, than phones? Apple's iPhone is by far the champ, of course. There were avalanches of rumors about it before it was ever announced and they haven't slowed much since Steve Jobs's January announcement. You might of heard yesterday's batch about iPhone rebates. When Jobs first announced the phone, there was no talk of price breaks: If you wanted an iPhone, you'd have to pay through the nose -- $499 for a 4 GB version and $599 for one with 8 GB of storage. Now, there are rumors of the kinds of rebates you'd get with any other kind of phone, somewhere in the $50 to $150 range.

But that's not all. One report out of Australia says the iPhone may be delayed. The theory is that initial versions are a little lacking in the sturdiness department and that running OS X sucks your battery dry. But like most rumors that are said to come from handset manufacturers, this one should be taken with a big grain of salt. Apple recently sent customers an email promising the phone would ship in June. And since Apple recently delayed the release of Leopard, the next version of OS X, in order to devote engineers to the iPhone, slipping on the phone's release as well would be a major embarassment.

Want more phone rumors? Of course, you do. The last I have (for now) is more rumbling about a supposed Google phone. This rumor again comes theoretically from a handset maker, HTC, and says that the Google phone would launch at the end of this year, featuring EDGE and (naturally) Gmail and Google Maps. This one seems the most implausible to me. For one thing, a Google exec publicly stomped on the rumors last month (not that that necessarily changes people's minds). But mainly it just doesn't make much sense to me that Google would want to get involved in producing hardware.

The great thing about rumors, though, is we can all play along. So let me know which of the rumors is most plausible -- or make up your own!

2mb's isn't that amazing. You want a $600 phone? Try the new Sony-Ericssons, like the k750i. That's sexxxxxyyyy

eh, i would wait until its been out for a while to make sure all the bugs are fixed. i mean, if you have the money then of course be my guest but the phone isn't even going to be 3g and from what i've read, even though it is going to have wifi built in, supposedly you won't be able to use it on ANY wifi connection. the phone has nice appeal but im going to hold out for the 3g version to come out.

I do wish they would have already released that phone that way the price would go down by summer lol! I am such a gadget whore!!! I get a new toy every 3 months. That's a lot of phones   ~~~~~~~~~~~VICTORY IS MINE!

I'm glad they aren't releasing the iPhone till summer...now i'll have time to save some money!

Yes, Cingular is the exclusive carrier... for a while.  Just wait.  Other carriers will pick it up and the price will come down.  

Cingular is the carrier I think.

Does anyone know who the carrier for the Ipod phone is going to be?

I wished Apple TV was as good as Windows Home Server if any of you know what I mean.

Lol foam. Agreed

2 mp digital camera but for499$ it better come with a klieg light and Annie Liebowitz to set up the pics

Yes, the iphone has camera that supposedly takes better than average pictures.

I was hoping the iPhone would be released sooner! I don't know if I can wait until summer! One thing I missed - does the iPhone have a camera??
