FCC Approves iPhone

An anonymous reader alerted us that the iPhone is one step closer to hitting shelves. "The Federal Communications Commission approved Apple Inc.'s iPhone, clearing the way for the combined phone and music player to hit the shelves. Apple expects to begin selling the phones in late June. Some of the FCC documents confirm a few features of the phone, including it will have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and will operate in the 1900MHz and 850MHz frequency bands. The phone uses GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) technology and the low-speed GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) wireless data standard."

No 900/1800 GSM. Slow GPRS. No user-installable applications. Lame.

At least it has wireless!

Sorry. There was this whooshing sound that, um, destroyed my concentration. Yeah, that's it.

I read some of the comments in that old story and came across this gem:

        Raise your hand if ...
        Raise your hand if ...
        Raise your hand if ...
        Raise your hand if ...

There is Apple's market. Pretty slim, eh?

I'll say. I've never seen anyone with four hands.
