the price is ok, we had nokia phons that cost the same but are way less powerful and not thaaat old now.

though... it's only available in 4GB and 8GB which is a shame, if you think of it showing widescreen vids... you wanna USE that...

it should have 10 and 20 GB at least... a 30GB version would be what i'd buy.

hope they update it very soon after it releases in europe.

i need more space... that's all im worried about. other than that, this baby rocks!!! :o

i wouldnt have expected it to be that nice.

still wondering what "desktop-class apps" means in detail... any1 knows?

this is the really exciting part...

IMO, they shoulda made a cheaper one without, say, OSX. Nothing against OSX, I just don't need an OS on my phone. Stick Safari on there, with the capabilities of an iPod, and obviously phone functionality and I'd be set. $499 is way too much for a phone. I was really looking forward to it too :(

Exactly. Maybe some people do, but I'm one of the ones who don't want a jack of all trades item. I already have a phone which does what it was meant for--make calls. But my aging 3G iPod is begging me to put it to rest. Give me an 80GB widescreen iPod and I'll be fine.

im not sure, but i bet PORTING an OS is cheaper and easier than creating a whole new one.

Apple totally impressed me on that one... this phone is totally awesome... :|

But still, the concept is nice, but the usability is not fully here,

8GB is not enough for a video player...

The cost is too high for a phone...

At this point I don't understands where the "phone" in the name is taken...

The amazing thing is how this would look as the 6Gen iPod if they remove the phone and useless stuff and just keep the interface system and with a 100GB HDD...

But the Apple TV thing look like a joke with the ridiculous 40GB drive and the DAMN useless remote...

Price is outragous imo

And if you think of it.... all the other major brands on the market can release something similar and I'm sure with better specs and prices

not that I think they should release something similar, that iphone is a very niche product by it looks

I didn't refer to anything about OS X. :s

i accidently quoted your message instead of stifler6478's:

A PHONE

THAT PLAYS ****ING MUSIC

HOLY CRAP

how do they come up with this stuff

But where else can you get a phone that plays music AND has DRM to make your music purchases pretty much useless anywhere except on your phone?

btw is the phone bluetooth or wifi or both?

as if it just played drm-ed music... also videos, movies, widescreen, safari as real complete web browser... and even more..

both: wifi and bluetooth ;)

Expect iPhone nano for those who is looking for more of a simplier, less coslty alternative in 2008

exactly . . people don't seem to realise this is iphone gen 1, iPhone will be redesigned with many updates over the next few years with "improvements". . expect the iphone nano, iphone for cdma networks, and . . . iphone shuffle (calls your contacts randomly :p )

I also wonder when apple will release a new Ipod with everything minus the phone stuff, and a large 100gig hd.

I was also hoping for leopard, and updated macbook pro's with better gfx and santarosa motherboards

I still can't figure that out because Verizon's latest count has them at 61.4 Million sub's...

wait hold on I just figured it out.... those numbers are USA only, Verizon actually has a TON more then just the USA ones and Cingular is also aggregating AT&T wireless users in their numbers also!..... so two companies are gona have more then one with their size...

You do know that Cingular merged with AT&T Wireless and kept the Cingular name, right? Personally, I am glad Apple chose Cingular to be the service provider for the iPhone.

It looks like they have missed the Spring 2006 window, can't believe they did not even show one thing on Leopard nor iLife or iWork it was all iPhone which I would excited about if I didn't cost the price of a MacBook.....

To be fair, the iPhone is about the same price as a Mac mini, not a MacBook.

Wow...really blown away by the iPhone...especially the price! Begin able to shrink/grow previews...really cool. But, seriously, $500 WITH a 2 yr contract! Also, no mention on how easy this thing will scratch, or how nasty it will look with fingerprints all over it.

Well as far as I am concerned this is like a complete heroin session in two hours .

High

Phone - outstanding

Pros - everything

Apple TV - great potential

Pros - can play good quality media,

Acts as a good quality media center

Coming down

Phone

Cons - not available yet, gives competition to catchup/ imitate quick, small storage.price

Apple TV

Cons - restricted to itunes ? I want to play all the divx/xvid media from my pc, can I ?

'07 products

Nothing on leopard, ilife, e.t.c

Apple cannot live up to the hype that everyone expects from them

You do know that Cingular merged with AT&T Wireless and kept the Cingular name, right? Personally, I am glad Apple chose Cingular to be the service provider for the iPhone.

Personally, I'm rather annoyed they got a bunch of patents that shouldn't be patentable and they chose the route of exclusive partners which will make it more expensive for everyone. Not that Verizon would let you use a phone without crippling it to oblivion anyways....

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
