I think it's another stupid product from Apple that mindless media whores are going to buy into.

The profit margin on iPods are around 70% or so.  I wonder how inflated this one will be.

And yes, Cisco owns the rights to the name iPhone.  Them inconsiderate bastards at Apple think everything prefixed with an "i" belongs to them.  Eat shit already.

I have an MP3 player that's better than an iPod, and I'm sticking to it.  I have a phone that is better (depends on how it's used) than this abomination, and I'm sticking to it.  Problems compound on top of each other when things start to get integrated, especially when it is poorly made in the first place.

Let the idiot race begin.

Anything that tries to do everything sucjs at doing everything.

AtomicCactus, the profit margin can't be that high. The 8 gigs alone in flash is costing them significent amounts of money.

I'm a retard.  I think I meant about $70 (out of $300, source from some guy who works at BestBuy).  Searching on the net, some analysts think the profit margin is from 20-40%.
