The David Pogue Video Is Awesome Infotainment

Thanks David. You Rock!

Thanks Multimedia! I remember you said you were waiting for the new iPod Video to come out and still had a year left with Verizon. Are you any more tempted after all of today's good news?
Speaking of Dock connector will the iPhone work with my iPod adapter for my Pioneer radio? I seem to recall one of the reviews saying it may not work with them. If that is true, then I can't get rid of my iPod cause that is my main source of driving to work music. Is anyone here into car audio or lives in the Northern VA area, I'd like to stop by and see if it is compatible if possible.

Above is a screenshot of the ATT coverage image found at http://wireless.att.com/coverageviewer/. Now, while Seattle doesn't get the greatest coverage by ATT, saying that overall nationwide coverage is bad is wrong.
In my experience customer service with them has actually BEEN stellar. I lost my phone, I bought another of the same phone, and I took it into a local ATT store, they activated the new SIM card with my existing number, and BAM worked fine and without a hitch.
From what I read (somewhere) no: it will charge via the connection (if that was possible with the iPod) but won't play, but Apple is going to try a software update to make the majority of such products work.
The silver lining is that everybody with iPod car kits/chargers automatically have iPhone car chargers. Nice.
I used to use ATT during the 90"s until about 6 years ago ,and their customer service was so bad I thought the company was collapsing (in spite of it's size).
I actually felt sorry for them (as an original American institution)
Maybe they got better

They have indeed gotten better. Take a look at my post about two posts above this one.
Very nice reviews. I've finished watching the videos from within the reviews, as well, and they are very good.
I can't wait for this thing!

And it should be noted that the blank spots on the west half of the US are two mountain ranges running north - south. The Cascades and the Rockies. Neither are very kind to cell towers, trust me on this one
New York Times needs to fix their video player. It's abysmal. It doesn't seem to properly buffer the video (like YouTube, which can load the entire remainder of the video and you can skip around without having to restart the stream). Also, it freezes up periodically on my cable connection.
I know, I had the same problem with the Times video player, and I had to refresh the page several times and go back to the spot that I had left off at - it's rather annoying.

Flash + server overload from iPhone fanboys and haters = bad viewer experience
Go for the video podcast. Better quality, no buffering. http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=210818527
Yeah, a phone running OS X just happens to have a few computer-like features (web, email, SMS, YouTube, Google Maps, calendar, music, movies, CoverFlow).
yes, i'm following your line of reasoning. it's entirely possible that a UMTS/HSDPA (3G) radio could very well be in the iphone. and it's my understanding that these 3G radios can fall back on EDGE if there is no 3G signal. so if this is true, then 3G capabilities could very well be disabled with EDGE turned on by default. but we won't know until someone's brave enough to dissect it and identify the iphone's major components.
but the FCC may already know that it's a 3G device, it's just that we won't find out from them because apple requested that those documents be embargoed from the public.
and as the poster above said, apple was selling previous generation macbook pros as 802.11g laptops when in fact they were draft-N.

Funny, I just got an email from the corporate email for my work. They emailed saying that the company will NOT support the iphone (and this company has 70,000+ workers) because it lacks the security features necessary for email and other functions. If a lot of big companies are the same way, this can't be good for business users.
It does sound more like a phone w/ computer functions than a computer w/ a phone.
