MWSF 2007 Keynote and Comments

[rgG]

10:50 am truly "raising the bar" with this partnership
10:50 am new at&t family - help fulfill vision of all things on one device

[IronMac]

Hahaha...other wireless device makers' stocks are being hit by this announcement.

It's nice that you can play movies on it, but maxing out at 8 gigs means you have to make some touch choices about which music, photo, and movies you want in your pocket.

I'm still wondering about the Beatles thing. Why would he play the Beatles when they're not at the ITMS?

[papercup]

Well, Steve got the stock up over 90 bucks.

June. WTF.

[rgG]

10:52 am reading off cards - regular business talk
10:51 am best voice and data experience available
10:51 am fewest dropped calls, etc...
10:51 am giving a Cingular commercial...

[Sam3]

I'm out.

A nice device, but phone service provider lock-in and the price killed it for me.

Apple could have really been an innovator to the American market and sold an unlocked, provider-neutral phone. I'm disappointed.

10:52 am working to make sure integration works
10:52 am brick and mortar + online retail stores - incredible distribution model

[GeneL]

I left Cingular because of dissatisfaction.

Data plan was much higher $$ than Sprint's.

Poor service. Voicemail delays, sometimes for many hours

Dropped calls. No signal at home.

Oh well (sigh!)

As I always say, "that's just my opinion, I could be wrong."

I am sure Singular dumped a buttload of money into this, and they want their money back in an exclusive partnership.

enough on the phone already
