I noted two things while watching the iPhone Demo:
1. Steve Jobs used the Beatles song "With a little help from my friends" as the first song to demo the iPod inside the iPhone. Interesting, after all that trouble Beatles/Apple Records have given him. But "The Jobs" will prevail, I guess.
2. There was
As Steve said right after the AT&T business speach:
We come from pretty differents worlds, the telco industry, the computer industry and of course music with the iPod. And we love these guys!Yeah, Steve loves AT&T, just as he loved the majors five years ago. This CEO-guy finishes his speach and one of the first things Steve mentions is music with the iPod, wink, wink? The iPhone will be to cellular carriers what the iPod has been to music companies. Just wait and see how Apple will bully them in their own Apple kind of way. Again, "The Jobs" will prevail. At least, that is what I hope.
And in the meantime, Microsoft is going to try to kill the iPod with its Zune, forgetting that Apple is actually killing the (old) iPod with the (new) iPod every year, and this year killing it in part with the iPhone.

I would soooo like to have this phone, but NOT with an "exclusive" contract to the worst telco in the USA. My loathing of Cincular trumps my Apple fetish.
Apple blew it.
