I don't regret buying my iphone the day it launched here in the U.S. I knew I was paying the "early adopter" tax penalty. Also that is why I got the extended care for an extra year. The iphone 3g will be the shit but I'm waiting for the 3rd generation iphone. That will have video conferencing on the go, 32-64 gb, and hopefully cut and paste ;p.

In all of this, I feel for Palm. The $199 iphone will wreck their entire line even though they've been hanging tough with that $99 smart phone they have out. Folks will have hard time passing up coughing up an extra $100 bucks to get an Iphone instead.

Blackberry, Nokia, Samsung, HTC, and LG might sweat a bit but I think they will all bring it with their new devices. Isn't Motorola getting out of the cell phone business? If they're not , they should consider it.
