Remember the first generation iPods? Compare them to the iPods they're making today. Smaller, cheaper, more memory and those cool color screens.
Unless you absolutely NEED one, I'd say wait for the price to come down and the quality to go up.
So forgive & forget.

Yes, but that's not the point. Rather AT&T being in control of the content that is transmitted by it, eg - news and such. This is why Eddie said he is holding out on buying an iphone, as he stated in his last RS interview.
To each his own opinion of course.

I thought he had an iphone actually. I remember a pic of him with one in his shirt pocket.
If that's true,
then he got over it

GOT FOR IT!
Plus I'm sure he didn't have to pay too much for it. If he did, he can probably afford to test it out.
that wasn't an iphone. there was no camera on the back of it.
also, i love my ipod. my bro has an iphone and loves it, but he got it as a birthday present. he wasn't even gonna consider getting one himself till next year or whenever they release the new generation. will be much better. internet will be much, much faster on it etc.
Anyway, I am very happy with it so far and just hope it lasts for at least 2-3 years...
It is the point, though. If this person is hesitant to buy an iPhone with AT&T service because they censored Pearl Jam's broadcast, AT&T publicly admitted they screwed up, apologized, and claimed they would take steps to ensure it does not happen again. What more do you want? Blood?
AT&T does not control any of the content you can get on the iPhone. You can access any website in the world, for example this one. AT&T has no control over it.
They can, however, control what gets broadcast over their AT&T Blue Room website, which is how Pearl Jam got censored. For Eddie, it's kinda personal. But why should the average person give a shit?
because it reeks of fascism....and as far as their apology....actions speak louder than words....i would have been a lot more impressed had they, in light of their actions, donated a good amount of money to some non-prof org dedicated to the preservation and advancement of free speech.....
Hey, I didn't say it, Eddie did.
didn't claim he was right or anything.

my 2 cents
AT&T confirmed that a new iphone is in development, which will be using 3G technology, rather than the current 2.5G (internet will be much faster).
So either you will get a better phone when it comes out, or the current phone will be much cheaper.
I say wait.
By the way I tried it, an was not impressed by the keyboard, I was having trouble typing a URL correctly, it kept inputting the letter next to the onei was going for. Still want one though!

My understanding is that AT&T turned over call records to the NSA in cooperation with the government's effort to track "terrorist communication" which I admit is probably bullshit. But unless you're up to no good, who cares? They're not recording or listening in on your phone calls. All they're doing is providing the government with records of which phone number placed a call to which other phone number.
I stand by my statement : Why should the average person give a shit? They can track my calls all they want. What are they gonna do, bust me for making personal calls at work or forgetting to call my mom on Mother's Day?

Yeah,

About the AT&T thing, I guess thats up to you. I think all cell phone companies are shady in their own right. I was screwed by cingular back in the day, but I guess I really wanted that iphone.
I do think the iphone is well worth it. Best phone I have ever owned.
I won't use Apple products myself because I feel like they pigeon-hole you.
I remember trying to convince my bro-in-law that he should consider ditching the Blackberry and switch to Android or Apple. He thought I was a complete idiot for saying that, haha (I hope he didn't react like that because he invested with them, but I wouldn't be surprised!).
I literally cannot even imagine what it's like without a smartphone even though I was born in 1976 and didn't even get my first cell phone (with an antenna) until I was 26 or so. That's crazy, and I'm kind of ashamed, but damn, they are amazing gadgets. I can't believe I spent the majority of my life just wandering off into the world each day without a way to communicate and get information, besides finding a pay phone. I do miss a lot about "the old days", but not having smartphones certainly isn't one of them (but I do not like the smartphone addicts one bit - the ones who literally have no idea what's happening around them because they are too focused on their device - that is super annoying. And fuck the texting while driving people too).
