Macworld: The iPhone is EDGE only

As amazing as the iPhone is, I’m apparently not the only one wondering why Apple settled with EDGE when Cingular is already supporting HSDPA. Perhaps it’s a limitation imposed by packaging requirements or power consumption. Perhaps it’s a desire to avoid supporting the myriad of HSDPA bands worldwide.

Sure, the iPhone features WiFi, but it’s difficult to stream SomaFM reliably over EDGE while driving down the freeway at 70 mph :)

What do you think?

Macworld: iPhone update

So, the iPhone is here.

Unfortunately, it’s not available today… Doh! But it will be shipping in June and it will be available exclusively on Cingular for $499 (4 GB) or $599 (8 GB) with a two year contract. As a result it’s probably going to be locked to Cingular. That’s pretty disappointing :/

On a positive note… Wow! The device is revolutionary, with style and substance to boot. It’s unclear if the 2 megapixel camera features auto-focus or a flash, but it’s clear that the iPhone is packed with amazing technology.

And that’s definitely exciting :)

Macworld: The iPhone is here

I’m at the Apple Store here in San Francisco and the iPhone was just announced by Steve Jobs at the Macworld keynote!

I’ll be trying to pick one up (assuming it’s released today as well).

I’ll keep you posted….
