The Apple iPhone

If you're an Apple fan, you probably know more about the iPhone than I do. I actually have my reservations for a product that hasn't been out of the internet news headlines since its debut at CES.

First off, there's the whole lawsuit with Cisco, who actually has a product named iPhone already out, and has owned the name iPhone since 2000. Apple was actually in talks with striking a deal with Cisco, but ended up just calling their product the iPhone too without actually settling. A case of a powerhouse bullying another company around? Or vice versa?

And don't give me the argument that Apple should be able to keep their name because everyone knows their products have that same naming convention. If that was true, the WWE would still be known as the WWF.

Then there are the articles that are saying Apple is signing their own deaths since the audience that shows interest for the iPhone will probably already own an iPod. Read something like that here.

And really should it be that hyped? It can surf the web, play videos, play music, make you coffee and help you decide what clothes to put on in the morning.

But what if I just want a phone?

To me, the iPhone is too bulky to use as a regular phone. I also don't like open faced phones. I also just like my phone being my phone.

What about battery life? Everyone always complained about the ipod's battery life, and that was just for listening to music. What's going to happen when suddenly it has to be active for every thing? Will it actually be able to make phone calls or will it always be dead?

I've seen people with side-kicks that always have to carry around a charger with them, because they use their phones for everything beside making phone calls.

So enough with the hype, let's just get our hands on some iPhones and figure out what it will really be good at, what it will be bad at, and what devices we'll still have to carry around even with an all-in-one iPhone.
