Beet, how much space do apps, etc take up?

 

OS and all factory installed apps take up .7gb

 

Whoops your right. I would be using the USB cable if I wanted to move any files on and off the Ipod to make room. Or using Itunes with the same cable to remove / add music and videos.

 

So they are smart enough not to hassle you about using a 'cell phone' while in flight? Cool.

 

By the way, the "cheaper" iPhone is actually not what it seems...


Original 8gb iphone with 450 min, unlim data, 200 sms, at launch: $600-$100 credit +24x$60 = $1940



Original 8gb iphone with 450 min, unlim data, 200 sms, after price drop: $400 +24x$60 = $1840



3G iphone 8gb with 450 min, unlim data, 200 sms: $200 + 24x$70 + 24x$5 = $2000



So the "cheaper" 3g iphone actually costs $160 extra.

 

^Jobs is not a moron.

 

200 sms is pretty weak.

 

What's this for?

 

1500 sms is $10 more.

 

I get 2k for 10 bucks not that I even use them all but 200 is easy to kill.

 

the 200sms that don't come with the 3G unlimited data, unless they announce another custom iphone plan, which from what i read, it doesn't sound like it. but i guess you never know.

 

I go through them especially quick with the iPhone. The IM format for viewing text messages seems to encourage me to send multiple brief messages instead of typing it all out at once.

 

I had to up my text message plan to 400 (on T-mob) and I don't even have an iPhone, yet. Some people talk alot, some people text lot, some people don't do either, and they clearly have no friends

 

I pay the extra 10 bucks bucks for the 1500 texts anyway...so long as they dont raise that price im fine with it.

 

I think the overall price increase has more to do with the Death Star's 3G network expansion than anything out of 1 Infinite Loop.

 

I dont think he is part of the AT&T revenue model anymore...

AT&T reveals that Apple will no longer receive the revenue sharing from each users plans. It was highly publicized that AT&T paid Apple a portion of its monthly recurring service charges for each iPhone user. Under the new agreement, there is no revenue sharing. AT&T is presumably directing that money towards the $200 subsidy for the iPhone.

notice any similarities!?

 

nope lower case m and connected cursively to the e are very different. Those fonts are actually very different. Also mobile me won't be a complete shit hole flop piece of crap.

 

 

I really want to have the mobileme service, but is anybody who is currently using a @mac.com address even going to switch to the @me.com? Im not so hot on the @me.com addy..It makes me want to buy .mac off ebay for $65 and have the @mac address before the change is done in July..

 

@mac.com stays @mac.com for current users like me

 

I can't set up the whole mobile me sync thing with a gmail account?

 

Right, which is why I'm considering buying it while its still .mac so I can have one before the change

 

i wouldnt consider too long

 

You are right.. Will any of the .mac 5.0 packs for sale on ebay still work? I would have to install it on my friends macbook because I'm still waiting for the next refresh hopefully later this summer.

 

install what...you dont install anything.

 

I did not even think about that, time to pull the trigger on .mac

 

I really like the iPhone, but can't get over the fact that it's only available on AT&T. Having Verizon has spoiled me I guess.

 

I saw "system requirements" on the auction on ebay say mac os..

<--

 

Picked up family license for .mac for $99 bucks selling the other 3 to some buddies.

 

My brother-in-law might give me his first gen Iphone and he'll buy a 3g one. If I don't get a data plan and just use wifi for the internet, then I'm really not missing much? I don't care for GPS.

 

I dont think so.. I was going to do the same thing if a friend was going to sell me thier 1g iphone dirt cheap. I still have a year and change till my plan with ATT ends and felt like it would still be worth it...

 

I've had mine without a data plan for nearly a year. I think I missed a lot. I can't wait till the new one launches up here with data supported.

 

not really, you'll get the 2.0 software in July just like the iPhone 3G.

I think there will still a market for 1st gen iPhone because they were easily unlocked. It may be a little harder with the 3G.

 

There will be a market for 1st gen.

But sadly...where I was hoping to be able to sell mine for $250, I think its going be more like $150 now. oh well.

 

I read the dev team already unlocked an early version of the 2.0 update but getting around the AT&T contract just to get the new 3G phones will cause problems

 

Once I get the 3g (assuming I dont hold out for a 32gb model) I would most likely finally play with unlocking my 1st gen.

Probably has more resale value when unlocked, too.

 

They were going for 400 the day before WWDC keynote. I think when Jobs announced the pricing that effectively killed the aftermarket value. However with this new instore activation mumbo jumbo it might add value back to the 1g because the 3g ones will be near impossible to get unlocked as you can't just walk out of the store with one, no hassels like before.

 

definitely should be able to sell and unlocked for more money.

I keep thinking about waiting for the 32gb, but i guess with my 16gb touch and a 16gb 3G I'll have 32gb already

 

I'd be totally fine with 16gb...but now im wondering with the new apps store.
