I've been trying so hard to get a free demo unit on this thing:

Would make fun for camping trips.

For $500 I'd rather have an iPad and use my phone has a mobile hot spot. Then I could stream content from my home PC to the iPad.

*golf-clap*

[coolhandluke]

Can you play SNES games, surf the web, listen to music, watch movies (locally or streaming), or download apps/games?

All I'm saying is if I had $500 to blow I know where it would go. Just saying....

[Dave_B]

LOL.

In App related news... there are several apps I think you guys would enjoy. Quazi data logging, accelerometer and things like this. Several track oriented apps I looked at over the weekend.

Air Control rocks

I don't plan to tinker much with the phone outside of finally getting into the whole "app's" experience. I just want the phone to work. I'm a really bad IT nerd. When I come home the last thing I want to do is mess with electronics.

<- same, that's why it's absolutely exhausting to see all of this phone talk.

It's more of a hobby for some people i.e. Dave B.

Next June when the iphone is on Verizon we will all be figuring out how to make the switch.

LOL @ more talk of iPhone to Verizon. The story never changes, just the date it will be released.

And I'm really pissed that AT&T has such shitty phone selection. My choices are between a Bold or an HTC android phone I've never heard of. This sucks.

[Dave_B]

Which HTC?

[elambz]

Don't remember, but it was not one any of my tech geek friends have ever talked about. Att has two htc phones. One is android and the other is winmobile.

[CivicBeater]

It isn't just talk. This january there will be a press release on the iphone coming to Verizon. Then it will be released in June next year. I'm sure in January you'll see an article of a lady leaving her Verizon Iphone at the dog groomer and engadget paying a billion dollars to the dog groomer to have it and make an article that will score 10 million page hits over night.

[elambz]

They've been saying it's going to verizon since it first came out. People say the same things just the date on when it will be released changes.

[CivicBeater]

I have inside information. Look for the press release around January.

[elambz]

That's what's always said about every iPhone/verizon rumor.

Going to need an exact date, call your inside sources.

lulz. That's what my bro-in-law states who is currently employed by Apple. Yes, and before you ask, he IS gay.

[itrsteez]

he works for apple or at an apple store?

Bef has the HTC windows phone on Verizon. It blows.

As much as I like my Incredible, there's no way I'd even consider anything but an ifone if I were stuck with AT&T. That said, I'm happy I'm not stuck with AT&T.

[CivicBeater]

he works for apple or at an apple store?

Apple store. Been working there for like 35 years so I figure he has some good sources.

[itrsteez]

The only thing I hate more than having to say I've been a long-time apple user is the people that actually work at the apple store

That goes hand and hand seeing how I think he's the biggest douchebag on the planet.

Yeah that definitely takes credibility away from you saying you have an inside source. People at stores are the absolute last to know anything. The rest of us will probably find out before he does

Well, you will probably be banned off this site at that time after you post a hellaflush TL on here.
