This one came from a pretty high-up source of ours, and it turns out to be pretty interesting. Apple iPhone displays will soon be hitting AT&T stores across the country and yes, we got some details! First off, it was relayed to us that many stores will actually have to be rewired because the display demands its own power supply, and even requires a network cable. As far as the size of the iPhone display itself, get this — 7 ft tall, and 3 ft wide! Many stores have already started installing the necessary power systems which means that working displays should be here within the next few weeks. Whether the Apple iPhone will be featured as soon as the displays are ready is still unknown, but if it is, well, does anyone remember the RIM Break In?
Wow, 14 executives in Waterloo just spilt their morning coffee.
Pretty sly move to release something like this the morning after RIM announces the Curve. iPhone jumps to the top of BGs page (and others), while RIM scrambles…

Just what every executive needs; a $700.00 iPod that makes phone calls.

People act like the only people in the world are executive, It is funny I see more poeple using phones teenagers, mother, and sometime executive. funny some people think that every body is a executive and live on programs just ment for them. Written by a ex- executive now have fun with all the thing executive do not use.

You were an Executive? Great grammar…
P.S. Being the night manager at Denny’s doesn’t mean you’re an executive. Now go clean up that fryer!

Actually, $499 or $599 depending on the model you choose.

It’s $499, not $700. please check your facts next time.

You mean 500 and 600. I wish vendors never used “99″ in their prices, because it does NOT make it 100 less - it makes it a dollar less….

I still don’t see a totally touchpad interface grabbing any executive support. Sorry yall, I think this one is consumer-centric

I have never replied here, but felt the ridiculous banter regarding executives and iPhone prices to be, well, ridiculous.
…It was merely a comment about the iPhone not taking a lot of market share away from the corporate world, though I do agree that Blackberry is now enjoying celebrity use and that may diminish some…not a major deal.
And, I cannot believe that multiple people corrected someone about the price…I assume 700 was hyperbole, so please stop taking this stuff so seriously.
Piece.

What people forget is that “consumer” stuff drives what makes it into the enterprise in a lot of ways.
That’s the reason you have Windows in the office instead of OS/2. The original strategy was OS/2 for work, Windows 3.x at home. Except that people wanted to use in the office what they used at home.
Are phones the same as desktop operating systems? No. But the example remains. People adopt all kinds of technology when it works well for them. If the iPhone does all it says it will do, I imagine there will be some workplace crossover, even without the blackberry enterprise services.

This is true and my OS/2 never crashed.

As a once avid OS/2 user now in love with OSX, I can’t WAIT for the iPhone!
And damn … I’m a doctor, not an executive.

It’s 600 not 700. This phone holds so much more potential than what we saw at macworld, it may surprise us when it is released. I don’t expect it to be limited to only what we saw in January.

Good choice on that makeover

Jobs has the bar set low at first year estimated sales of 1mil. I bet he does triple that. I don’t care if it is primarily non executives that buy it or not he will hit big numbers and the stock goes up!
PS. I have a blackberry but am considering giving up the bulky tech for the Iphone since I don’t use the e-mail much and the web searching will be much better on the Iphone.
For what its worth!

Do you have any idea how crisp and sharp an 160ppi 320 x 480 display is? No you don’t because you’ve never seen any monitor or any display at this resolution before. This is just one of the STUNNING features of the iPhone that will blow everything else off the map.

Hopfully the display will be a bigger hit than the original PTT display… That thing started to fall apart after two weeks and Cingular had to send out “repairmen” to do some tweaking to the signage.
I also remember the original Apple/Cingular Music display. We were originally told to make sure music is playing all the time on it, then were told to keep the music off unless we were demoing it for a customer. Seems others in the mall complained about the music being on all the time….
Lets hope this display is put together a little better…

As a cell phone novice, I’m intrigued by the Iphone. Is there any site or comparison which doesn’t degrade the competitiors where I can get an honest assessment? I like how the Iphone looks, as well as the RIM phones, PDA’s in general.

Did anyone catch heroes last week - the five years gone episode? I am pretty certain that the Prez. was talking on an iPhone.

That doesn’t bode well. That was five years in the future….if the best thing the President can get his hands on in the future is a 5 year old iPhone, I don’t think I want to be a part of that future…;)

Believe me, if you saw it, you don’t want to be part of THAT future….
But there are many futures…
last night was good too. I love that show…
