iPhone

The new 3g iPhone debuts today. I got to see a line of about 50 people around 7:45 this morning waiting outside the AT&T store at 50th and Park. With a two year contract the 8gb model will cost you $199, the 16gb will cost $299. Finally Apple is making a phone that supports the 3g network something they should have done with the original release but why bother when there's a flock of morons who'll pay a ridiculous amount of money for a phone that became outdated about 2 months after it came out. The email capabilities of a Blackberry are still far superior to the iPhone and its much easier to text message with a full QWERTY keyboard. The iPhone will have much faster internet now though and the ability to play music and use the new app's designed on Apple SDK platform. If you're in the market for a new phone and don't have contract issues than the $199 iPhone is well worth the bang for the buck. If you're in the corporate world and still have a bit of time left on your contract it may be bit better to wait for the Blackberry Bold, which is being named the "iPhone killer" as it has all of the functionality of the iPhone with the enhanced performance of a BlackBerry.
