The iPhone is out and about, and everyone waiting in line for hours/days got one (including Woz, and the mayor of Philadelphia who apparently had nothing better to do). Unboxing pictures here, dissecting pictures here, PDF manual, and one of the best-designed iPhone web apps can be found here: the iPhoneAppsManager (requires a Safari/Webkit browser to work). Update: Reviews: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Update 2: It is claimed Apple UK will announce a 3G iPhone on Monday, as well as deals with Vodafone and T-Mobile. Update 3: Lots of screenshots reveal no "weekend/weekday" recurrence in the alarm app.

That's the problem. The iPhone seems to be a US-only product for now. It might take some time until it shows up in stores in the rest of the world. I wish these large companies unleashed their products world-wide simultaneously. The iPhone looks pretty cool, I saw on the web that you can even watch a movie on it...
In the meantime, here's some fun :-)

Apple stuff are quite fun to play with Appletv with macosx on it which produces a cheap mac 
Well since iphone is true macosx maybe a bit stripped out of computer hardware features it makes things easier to install stuff i imagine.
Rumors that dont scare me off:
1. MMS feature , there is officially no Mms on the iphone but how hard would it be to make a 3rd part mms sender?
2.lack of 3g, so what? never used that network would probably be overestimated with its built in wifi:D
3. 3g circuits consume alot of power but you never know if someone will make a software solution to that.
For me playing midi files properly is the best in the phone its a proof of good soundchip , and i like that the phone has mp3 player seperately from ringtone midis
so music fades out and ringtone plays , after the call music smoothly fades in from where it got interrupted.

Apple employees have confirmed that carbon/cocoa programs (one of the two, I forget which) will soon be supported.

"your "appz" will be browser based. And probably suck compared to native running apps. I wish Apple would allow real programs to be programmable for the iPhone. Oh well, I don't plan on ever owning one 
Give me a Nokia brick or treo and day."
Yea.... I agree... How can we expect to get the flakey crash prone, virus infected garbage we are used to with our current hardwear if apple keeps prying fingers out of the iPhone Ecosystem! I mean seriously... i WILL NOT STAND for this quality user experience that they keep talking about!

The only provider in Canada that can accept the iPhone is Rogers, which I've heard lots of horror stories with them.
Actually, Canada needs more mobile competition. The only GSM provider here is Rogers (Rogers brought Fido), so not a lot of choice (Telus and Bell uses CDMA).
Plus, the iPhone is locked with an integrated sim card. Quite unusual for a GSM phone, which can be compared to a CDMA phone. Which means you can't unlock it and use it with another provider by changing the sim card.

Unfortunately i found out that they blocked OSX from running programs , but since its iphone we have ipodlinux distro that maybe will become iphonelinux. Or in best cases someone will release a crack that people will apply for running shiira and other osx software.
This Safari lockdown reminds me alot of Internet Explorer and active desktop its the worst you can do with the Os so i demand i run the OS of my choice on iphone.

Thats a phone i really like
It has wavetable soundchip like old sonyericsson t610 unlike sonyericsson putting crappy soundchip and exusing it with mp3 playback on new models, not ok.
I like that my midis will sound ok with iphone
Wifi I can surf around with safari No big deal that java aint supported just install opera if i need it that bad.
Touchscreen now thats what i really love i wanna develop my own buttons and appz
watching rockvideos , movies , play chess or anything like that's a bonus when im on long journeys
here comes the bad part :
I still live in europe Sweden.
No sign of iphones in our stores.
i guess that stinks
