    Oh sure they will. I'll bet Nokia is just quaking in their boots.

    Think Apple will come up with anything like the Nokia IP2450 security phone?
    Highly doubtful. It's a Nokia-Seimens design. Consumer cost $59,995.00. Is
    it worth it? Maybe to some business.

    The iPhone should be marketed as a mutli-media phone as does Nokia with
    their N95. It certainly isn't a business phone as the HTC TyTn II which
    does far more but at a higher cost. I'd hesitate to the iPhone a
    smartphone. Too "gimicky" an advertsing word for a multi-meida phone -
    which it is.

    Oh, the ipod has usually scored lower than iRiver, Creative, and Archos in
    all audiophile reports. Go look.

    The CEO certainly is, they are going to try and roll out their Ovi music
    store to compete against apple but from what I've heard they can't get
    music rights, nor have the technical expertise to build huge multi-user
    download systems.

    apple has built stuff like that for years. they just do it better since
    they have access to better engineers.

    the business stuff is coming quickly, it's only been out for 70ish days,
    so they can do both, a high end multi-media phone and a medium end
    business workhorse.

    The only thing we have an emulator on one of our machines for is to test
    web pages on PCIE. Never have had a need for any other programs.

    Who says it's "obsolete" just because they're no longer selling it? 4G
    is plenty, for many. For many, it's every bit as good as having the 8G
    version.

    Do you also cry when your computer becomes "obsolete" because newer and
    faster machines are selling for less than what you paid for yours, even
    though yours still works fine for the things you want to do?

    You're a funny guy(?) Oxford. Every time I see this reference to
    no other place outside of the US having the "tecnichal expertise" to do x
    or y, and also no other company other than Apple having the same, I have
    to laugh. Are you really that naive or just blinded by being an Apple
    fanboy? Obviously you haven't taken note of significant contributions
    because you didn't want to, not because they haven't happened. If any
    reason for them not being able to do this it is the music companies
    putting up a blockade on the rights issue.

    As for your previous comments about "Apple will kill all the
    european phones in a matter of a year or so", riiiight. European phones
    have outclassed the models available here for as long as I can remember,
    we get the junk, and we get it behind schedule. Then, there is Japan,
    have you heard of that country? If you talk to people there they'll
    probably tell you the phones in Japan make even they Euro models look like
    complete junk too.

    they why don't you illustrate to us a company that has successfully
    built a Music Store outside the US? or even one "inside" the US for that
    matter. I just look at facts, as boring as that can be sometimes.

    > As for your previous comments about "Apple will kill all the

    On the high end they certainly will. But sure the cheapy cell phones
    have a few years left of life in them. But once an iPhone nano appears,
    the game is over.

    Yes, but you are forgetting all that changed on June 29th, now, NO
    japanese phone is up to par with the iPhone, it completely wipes out all
    Japanese / Korean phones. (To be fair, on the high end) They simply
    don't have the resources to make a OSX based phone that measures up to
    the iPhone.

    No they don't. I don't mean the built-in iSight camera.

    I mean the FIREWIRE iSight camera. Exactly what I wrote.
