Apple said that iPhone would be a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls, and a breakthrough Internet communications device. Have an overview about iPhone. Want to know if Apple will replace iPod with iPhone.

It may not be called the "iPhone" for long. Cisco Systems already owns the copyright to the iPhone name, and is now suing Apple for using it. I think it shows just how arrogant Apple has become that it would blatantly use another company's registered name.

The thing looks cool as hell BUT... its supposedly going to be around $5-600 dollars. Sorry but I would buy a PS3 or a upgrade one of my pcs before I spent $500 or more on a phone.(I always just get the one they give you for $30 when you sign a contract. )

Ha, an iPhone? Give me a break! Please.... my Cowon F2 2GB blows iPods Away! Sound for that matter and development. Take pride and look into Cowon's products. iPods aren't the best by far and they never have been. They just get advertised way... too much.

Sorry but the iphone is way way cooler than that phone. (and I'm not even a huge ipod fan)
ipods are great players. For an overall experience for people who just want ease of use and no fuss they are bar none. I however don't like itunes and like my rio carbon just fine. (my next major mp3 player will probably be either an ipod video or whatever creative has out)

Although I might just buy one of those new shuffles. A buddy of mine has one and loves it.
Its small and can clip on a jacket without being noticed so its perfect for working out or just about anything else.

I find those Shuffles to be pieces of crap "But yes the size and all is great" but still. I've seen and toyed around with the iPods and I say "NO!". The screen get scratched way... way... to easily and that with the player too. Ipods may have there battery life in order but as far as File formats and such Ehh... no, not at all.

And my DAP is an iPod killer but that's my opinion and heck that DAP is my second! But I know what's what. I just hate the fact that iPods are way over advertised and such. And yes I hate iTunes as well.

Have you used the new shuffle?
If you listen to music a lot(and I mean a lot) I don't see anything better. Its so small you don't even realize that you have it with you.

The only thing that comes close in size is the mobiblue.(which is a pretty nice player as well. I've played with one, but I would never get one because the buttons are too small for me).

I have a friend who has one and I thought it was cool for awhile but then I thought Ehh... it's just another iPod shuffle

Heh, the funny thing is my first DAP was a Philips 2GB Jukebox and that dang thing froze on everything I did. The Processor in it was slow and the OS on it was so crappy. That was my parents fault cause they got it and I stated I'll do my own shopping cause you can get better deals and prices online

Now with my F2 I have no problems. I'm a little concerned on the battery life but eh.. I've tested. Cowon states it gets a little over 22hrs and that is correct but only on default settings. I got over 18-21hrs based upon by EQ setting and what not.

One of the cable news channels showed the iPhone info after it was announced and the pricing of around $500 for the 4GB model, and around $600 for the 8GB model. I'm with you on that I'd rather have a PS3 before buying a phone for that much money, then again for a few hundred dollars (well actually $1000 more) I would instead get the Bose DVD Home Theater I've been drooling over for the past year.
