With my iPod touch i can:

Play PSP quality games

watch movies/utube (on its screen or connect it to a TV/monitor)

Use the built-in VPN settings and WinAdmin to remote into into my computers at work with native resolutions

Surf the web in the crapper

Listen to music/watch music videos while working out

Store/look at all of my family photos

Store and read pdfs, doc, xls via email or AirSharing

Store and read my email/calendar/memos

Control iTunes on my computer from anywhere in my house

listen to Pandora radio

RSS for news

Live weather with full res doppler radar

ect......

Can your mp3 player or phone do that as well as the iPodtouch/iPhone can?

I'd be happy with flash support so I can stop seeing those blue boxes..... Why, Steve, why did you leave out the most basic internet function imaginable? "The true internet"? ha!

Probably just a beta version for developers to review. The Greeks probably misquoted other websites.

i have had my iphone and i think its great but tthe only thing is that unlike other phones you cant send or receive phontos unless you get it on the computer, its way better if you can just receive it straght to the phone especially if you family and friends far away from you, that would be awsome if they could fix that feature....

I agree with everyone who wants and expected to be able to use my iPhone for business. I love my iPhone but it really is just a nice toy. For work I have to use my BB Storm! Shame!
