iPhone finally arrives

But it can’t be used for music yet

 

[e.cachucho]

yay first to post!

"access to i-App"
what is this guy on about, either its something new by apple or he has just made something up, it is the latter I'm sure
cant wait to see what it will cost!
will be just in time to see if I should ask my father to bring one back from portugal instead

Cool - today ... !! I am only assuming the i-App referred to in the article will be the AppStore. I'm also keen to see pricing. I hope (but I have my doubts) that they will launch some "only with an iPhone" cool data deals [the main thing I'd love to see is xxMB data but with NO 30 day expiry]

you can still download or upload music to it, just not in a legal way

 

[Pooky]

Here's hoping it's cheap on a contract...

You can upload mp3's ripped from cd's you actually own, thats kinda legal i suppose

Dollenberg on cheap drugs

Old Dollenberg the avid iphone fan makes up things like iApp, wth? Further he is most waiting for mobileMe, has he gone bananas? The system doesnt work and Apple has already apologised for it. So I think the Times went and totally got the wrong guy for this exercise.

Considering our app store has about 10% of the apps found in the US/UK/anywhere else in the world's app store - and its the worst 10% - i wouldn't hold my breath that the mobileMe service will even work here for at least a year.

If you are buying the iPhone, I hope its because you want a phone that can play music (which incidentally tons of normal phones can do). Otherwise, I would recommend waiting till our app store gets an upgrade and maybe we finally get an iTunes store. By that time, you could probably get a 64gb iPhone for half the price of the 16gb.

MobileMe does actually work here

 

[hoover99]

Dollenberg should really read up on the fiasco that is/was Mobileme before gaaning aan about it like that..

btw: of course it can be used for music. only not _buying music via iTunes_ but that's hardly the same thing now is it. but i guess that was the intention of posting this article huh..

 

[SlinkyMike]

i-app??
Is this some SA only thing?
...or more to the point: who sanity-checks these articles before the are posted?

 

[rjtrickett]

How much?

 

[gregmcc]

Are they ever going to announce prices?

Your friendly green grocer will only release it after the launch.

 

[astrauss]

What is the launch?

Meant to say what time is the launch

 

[vodacom3g]

What is the launch?

"The Launch" is typically an event where something new is introduced, in this case the iPhone.

 

[Devill]

No price yet? Maybe a ballpark figure?

Read the article.
It says they will reveal pricing for the phone

 

[astrauss]
