i picked one up last week (really like it, btw), and that was my experience – recalibrate and find your touchpoint

i see some people bangin’ ‘em out just as fast as the crackberry users, but i think those are all people under 25

i don’t usually need to type a long message/email on mine (you know me – this comment is getting too long)

I'm a heavy user of my Blackberry here at work. We have many people here on iPhones so I've tried it out and unfortunately they're not good for someone with large clumsy hands like mine to type long emails on. :-) Wes – I don’t have an iPhone.

Guess I was wrong earlier lol but smart enough not to bet on it! I wonder if this takes the market to new highs or if its the same sell on the news? I'm inclined to believe we see new highs. Yahoo on the other hand.... What a surprise apple beats! Guess I was wrong earlier lol but smart enough not to bet on it!

“Anyone watching the move in the dollar?”

The FIRST thing LB looks at, since there is ONE TRADE.
Hoping it will be erect rather than flaccid. (The $).

The $29.95 is for the full client OS -- I don't think there is going to be an upgrade version due to dropping PowerPC support. I can make up stories where the cheap SL pricing helps Apple and stories where it hurts it, but I doubt very much that any software pricing (except maybe the iPhone App Store) rocks Apple's boat very much at all, as they are first and foremost, a hardware company. The software is just the decorative filigree. By “full version”, do you mean the full client (vs an upgrade client) or the server?
