Now, maybe I’m missing something here…. but I get the impression that they were somewhat “inspired” by Microsoft?The only thing that gets me is why?

I mean, why would you rip off a completely useless product?

I can understand why they would rip off the iPhone and the others on the long list of gadgets. I’ll leave you guys with some more pictures of this sleek, sexy audio gadget… rarhhh!

Don’t get greedy now I’m sure there’s one for everyone!

Thoughts on The Apple iPhone in Ireland

Wow, the Apple iPhone is great isn’t it!Ever since the first day that the iPhone was announced and appeared on that huge stage & screen I knew that I’d want one.

One problem – How much is the iPhone going to be by the time it is launched in Ireland?

Apple’s $499/$599 iPhone still on track for late June in the US, however there has been no release date for the gadget here in Ireland/Europe (that I am aware of, please correct me if I am wrong).

So heres the way I see it, I predict the Apple iPhone only being available on the Vodafone Ireland network here in Ireland obviously. I can see the iPhone being way overpriced, all you have to do is look at the price difference in iPods, iMacs and Mac minis between the US and the Ireland Apple store. I think its very unfair!

Another thing that is p***ing me off is the lack of 3G in the Apple iPhone, although I do hope that this will be improved in future updates?

After the success of the iPod Apple could be pushing the boundaries just a little too much. All the functionality and no problems? Im sure that there will be many issues with the iPhone at launch.

I’m also interested in battery power/consumption… how is this going to effect users that regularly use the iPod function to watch a movie? Surely that large, bright screen can be very hard on power… leaving you stranded somewhere with no battery power to make a call?
