The iPhone is obsolete already

I'm glad i didn't buy one, as i was just reading the paper and it turns out Apple are unveiling a new and improved iPhone tomorrow, less than a year after they launched the first one.

Apple will launch its sixth-generation iPod tomorrow. Industry experts say the latest version of the digital music player will have a widescreen for users to watch downloadable movies and TV shows. It is also expected to be operated by a touch-screen like the company's iPhone mobile.

The fifth generation ipod - launched in october 2005 - plays video but on a small screen. The new device, which is the size of a credit card, will be unveiled in San Francisco by Steve Jobs, Apple's chief executive. He will also announce a shake-up up of the entire ipod range according to investment bank, Goldman Sachs. The music players, including the nano and shuffle, will be revamped to give greater functionality at existing prices.

Also being developed is a miniature version of the iPhone and software allowing users to read books on their iPods. Apple is also working on giving all of it's music players internet connectivity.

So many iPods. :cry:

The funny thing is everyone went crazy when Microsoft said they were thinking of releasing a Zune 2. :? Ninja-Vox

"Look I just got the new iPod and you turn it sideways to view the movies in widescreen! how cool!"

That's the part where I smash my head into the nearest wall.

And for the phone, all I need is a cheap cell that makes calls. Why people need e-mail/internet and all that junk on the phone is beyond me.

I can see that as a needed function for the businessman on the move and they don't want to carry a bulky laptop around. Other than that, you're right.

Good to know I'm still buying a Zune. :D

There's either a new iPod every year, or they announce another piece of hardware to their already pathetic collection.

True... but at $600 for an iPhone right now, there are much more cost-effective solutions. Down the road when the cost of production goes down, those features will be cheap enough to warrant a purchase.

the i-phone was never revolutionary... phones had touchscreens before, phones had cameras before... phones played music before...

the I-phone was never ahead...

As it is the iphone is a great idea that will catch on eventually. As of now it isn't a sound investment IMO. Already they announced a new version and the longer we wait, the better off we'll be. The same holds true for ipods. Honestly who here still has the original ipod and how much did it cost at the time?chisoxrule

only apple fans bought it

no one ever walked down the street and was like "that looks cool"

thing is people don't NEED a friggin touch screen. "Look at my 1337 touch screen!!!" "Don't you have to clean it pretty much every day???". Why exactly is pushing buttons too hard to comprehend??
