Please.Stop.The.iPhone.Hype
Seriously, this thing is out of hand. It's a phone, not the end of world hunger nor the solution to global warming. I thought the intarweb hype regarding Apple products were at it's peak around MacWorld each year, but this thing is completely out of whack. Sorry, I just don't get it, nor do I ever want one. The hype alone is enough to completely turn me off the idea, and to be honest it turns me off Apple as a company. I might be a virtualization (and VMware in particular) fanboy myself, but come on people this is insane. Ok, I admit it. The iPod is a good MP3 player (iTunes is not a good player though). I'm sure the Macbooks and whatnot are excellent pieces of hardware, and I would really like to play with one at some point. The (planned) hype surrounding any Apple product release is out of this world, but the iPhone really does excel in this area. For some reason, Apple and Steve Jobs are canonized and Bill Gates/Steve Ballmer and Microsoft are not even found good enough to be the guardians of the gates to Hell. Why? Is Apple that fundamentally different from Microsoft? NO. To be honest, they're both in this game for one reason and one reason only. To enhance our lives and bring prosperity to all? NO. Both Apple and Microsoft has one, one, fundamental goal: Fill their stock owners pockets with as much money as possible - it really is as simple and as banal as that. Stop the insanity, and Don't Believe the HypeBack Caught you lookin' for the same thing It's a new thing check out this I bring Uh Oh the roll below the level 'Cause I'm livin' low next to the bass C'mon Turn up the radioEndOfRant.

January 1, 1970 1:00amalone. The way things have been going over the past few days makes Apple’s iPhone look like the second coming. Given what the phone can and cannot do, I doubt that it was worthy of the hype, but that doesn’t matter now does it? It may be a tad bit

I’m definitively buying it when it comes to Norway, IF it comes with 3G. ;-)
