Had a chance to play with this over the weekend. As expected, Apple's industrial design is breathtaking. It was actually thinner than I expected. The functionality was impressive, switching quicklybetween apps and navigating around. The touchscreen responded well, but I'm still concerned about the average joe using this kind of interface. Of course, the average joe isn't plunking down $500-600. Remains to be seen if this will hit mass-market proportions, but Apple has rarely been interested in the masses (iPods excluded). So I was surfing YouTube videos and the phone froze on me. Usually I pull out the battery for a hard reset but the iPhone doesn't have a removable battery. We had to read some online forums and find the right reset process. Last thought on this: AT&T's EDGE network = slow. At least in Phoenix. This is probably the biggest so-called "flaw" with the device. But a brilliant strategy - AT&T only has a handful of 3G markets up and running. They'll sell a bunch more on EDGE.
