Thanks, Luca. I guess I should have said no 3G right now :-)

David Pogue had a brief hands-on and says typing on it was "difficult" (though he says that by the end of the short session the predictive typing was 100% accurate). And Gartenberg notes, among other shortcomings, that there's no support for Office documents (and what about pdfs?).

Beautiful device, but these two things taken together would be a real problem for me ....

Sigh ...

If you are lucky Apple will send bloggers samples of the phone to be reviewed.

Hmm, damn, lots of bloggers have already killed that gig after Microsoft's attempt.

It just hit me. Steve Jobs doesn't have finger prints.

All of a sudden everything makes sense.

Actually, what i'm interested in is what tying on it will actually feel like as there are no keys and its all touch screen and gestures. Will it be sensitive enough? Will it be too sensitive? Will getting the keys to recognize key strokes be accurate enough if you have large meaty paws?

Hey, its probably going to be fine, but I think there will be just a little bit of schadenfreude if it turns out that all of the juicy deliciousness is an ergonomic and user-interface nightmare.

Cheers
