From an anonymous source commenting on the new Apple iPhone:
I’m looking forward to the iPhone Shuffle which calls one of your contacts at random every time you hit Send.
The iPhone looks seriously shiny, but because it doesn't support HSDPA I don't think I want one-- I've gotten too used to Verizon's excellent local EvDO coverage. The better an "Internet communicator" the iPhone turns out to be, the more painful its lack of HSDPA will be. (Update: David Pogue sure drank the Kool-Aid.)
As for the Apple TV: meh. I'm not that excited about it, given that it looks like a way to pay $20 for a DRM-encrusted sub-DVD-resolution movie that requires a Mac to play it back. I'd rather have an HD DVD of the movie, or, failing that, I can rip it to my ReadyNAS and stream it through the Xbox 360. Or so I'm told; that doesn't actually work for me yet... perhaps that's the Apple TV's appeal.
