am I the only one?

[ramtops]

I looked at the first stuff about the iPhone and drooled.

but now I've read more, I don't think I'm interested. No 3G. No possibility of adding your own apps. No external battery. And how scratched is it going to get?

so I think I'll be passing, thanks all the same. Mighty pretty though ...

Although it does look supremely shiny, the deal breaker for me is the small capacity. I'm an obsessive music collector and even my 15GB iPod isn't anywhere near big enough. And what about the people who want to put videos on the thing? But I'm hoping in a couple of years time the iPod lineup will gradually be replaced by this, and the quest for the holy convergent gadget will soon be over.

I knew it was hopeless when my 60G iPod had less than a quarter of my music collection on it ;)

I agree though there is an explanation ...

... apparantly Apple believe you should have all your music and videos on your Mac/PC and regularly dock your iPod/iPhone and just take away some small fraction with you for travelling ... a bit like having a house full of stuff and just loading up the car with what you need for the weekend ... and realising you've left behind the terribly useful gizmo or the DVD of The Incredible which you now realise you should have brought with you ...

... but then they produced the 80Gb iPod which seems to go against that!
