    And now for something completely different...

    The Apple Iphone went down in price about $200 bucks today and I went and snatched the 8gb model up. This is the coolest toy I have purchased since my VX...Anyone else in here have one?

    I like my Verizon Service.
    But that IPHONE is damn cool.

    Have you seen the LG parada? LG is battling a lawsuit with Apple since the parada came out in Europe before the Iphone was introduced.

    You know why they dropped the price right?

    Well I assume it was to sell more phones,and apple released a new ipod( that looks like the iphone) that is wi-fi and can surf the net and do everything the iphone can besides make calls.
    Was there another reason?

    Naaa the,"I'm angry at you, and I hate you....but.." bang is the best. That's just me I'd be unhappy if I paid 500 a few weeks ago.

    well, according to Best Buy you can pre-order them for now.
    I will look into it and see if I can get more established release date for you.

    Until someone hacks it! They still have a few bugs to work out. But they are cool.

    Indeed, all of these smart phones are just disasters waiting to happen. There have been proof-of-concept viruses for a few of them already. It's only a matter of time before somebody releases a real one. And nowadays, most malware is mob-connected so instead of just deleting your files or something equally annoying, you can expect whatever comes down the pipe to actively try to steal banking information and anything else of value.

    Well, I wont be using this thing for banking.
    I also won't be opening any funky attachments either in email.
    pssst..why ya gotta piss on my parade, I just got the thing..

    Anyway, I am stoked that it plugs in and is compatible with the car stereo in my VX .So my car stereo scrolls the songs and artists from the phones ipod mode.I was not sure that was gonna fly, but it did.
    I am thinking I might buy another dock for it and stick it the little space on the center part of the console as a little imod, I'll take some photos if I do.

    LG is bringing the european model over and Kyrocera is coming out with a touch screen phone to all providers by christmas. This was in a popular mech a month or so ago.

    Smart move by iphone to drop the price, which gets more people in the apple brand.

    I uploaded a bunch of movies and music on it last night. The thing has as good a resolution as a PSP (playstation portable), and for tiny little speakers at the bottom, the sound without headphones is not half bad.The camera on it shoots at 2 megapixels, I had a Moto Razr before and the camera on that was awful. The razr was a bit lighter though, and had some screen protection.
    The thing about buying tech toys though, it's like shooting at a moving target. The minute you think you have something cool,they release something cooler.
    When I bought my HDTV 3 years ago, it was close to 4 grand, now I see similar and better ones, for way less than half that.
    Still the only exception to that rule, The VX
    These cars are going on almost 10 years old and they look as, or more cutting edge as anything on the market today.
