Here are those Apple iPhone ads, just seen on 60 minutes just now. They all confirm the iPhone's June 29th release date, they all show lots of gorgeous video of the iPhone in use. This video is called "Never Been an iPod", talking about all the new things you can do on the iPhone, like coverflow, widescreen movies, and of course, make calls.

The other two videos are great. One is a better quality version of the "Calamari" video, showing movie playback and Google maps search and call functionality. The other is called "How To", and it shows a lot of iPhone use, and how simple it is to work.

Its a great idea, and I would switch to Cingular to use it, if it wasnt locked. If i could install 3rd party programs on it, i might consider it. Until then the 6700 is fine for me.

I'm so buying it, there is no stopping me

The problem and barrier with iPhone is, the price and the bind to at&t. Otherwise, this thing will dominate.

I'm going to get it, but most likely not until it's second or third generation.

I wouldn't call it a Pocket PC, more like a Smartphone IMO. Regardless, it has a lot of features that I like & looks a lot better than any other Smartphone on the market IMO.

Take for instance the Visual Voicemail, what other phone on the market does that? Or the touchscreen? The built-in iPod.

Why would you call it a Smarphone? From what I can tell, generally, a smartphone is a stripped down Pocket PC. A smartphone doesn't have a touchscreen and a generally smaller screen. Compare the T-Mobile MDA (Pocket PC) vs. T-Mobile SDA (Smartphone).

I'll be honest, I wasn't a big fan of the iPhone, but seeing these ads, the super clean interface is very appealing. I wonder if the interface really is that fast though. In the ads, the transition from horizontal to vertical is very clean and instant. My MDA switches from horizontal and vertical, but there is a second pause and the phone freezes. It's hardly a big deal, but I wonder if the iPhone would perform in the same way.

For one, the Treo 700wx and 750v both have a touch screen and both have WMP built in. Its the same damn thing the iPhone does and has but it supports 3rd party software and plugins while the iPhone is locked down to what Jobs wants it to have.

I'm thinking the same thing about how smooth the transition is...

Honestly though these ads make me want it so bad. I know the demand is going to be crazy though and it's going to be selling on eBay for $1500. So I'll probably end up waiting a bit for it...

I still like my 8525...

This will take like 2 more years to start shipping in Australia.. God i hate this country sometimes.

I really can't wait for this, the ads are great.. theres just one thing thats makes me say .. and thats the touch screen.. I fear that it can be easily scratched in the pocket just like my LG Chocolate (which is also a touch screen) but nothing like the iPhone.

iPhone, I hope the battery isn't as crappy as their ipod line up
