iPhone Release Date Is June 29

Posted by kdawson on from the lines-form-now dept.

willith writes "Apple has placed three iPhone commercials on their Web site today, and each ends with a tag: 'Coming June 29.' This puts to rest the question of when the thing will hit the streets, but there are still worries about allocation — AppleInsider is reporting that the supplies at Cingular/AT&T stores may be relatively tight." And some fanatic sites are already parsing the ads for such enigmas as the "mystery app."

    They waited because they know it's my birthday, and since I have been trolling /. and praising them over 8 years now, they thought the next revolution in communications technology of a lifetime forever would make me a nice present.

    I agree. Macs suck. In need of a new PC I went to a mac store in Warsaw yesterday to check them out. The sales assistant informed me that as yet there is no localisation hence no Polish language kit. Yes, a mac store in POLAND selling computers that aren't available in POLISH. That's good marketing. Anyway, I asked him when this "feature" is going to appear and was told "probably in the next OS, which I think is due in November, though I am not sure"... it just gets better. Still, undaunted the mac salesman proceeded to ask me about the system I currently use. When I told him Linux he proceeded to show me that macs too have a terminal. Wow.

    Basically I can get a computer that costs twice the going rate with no localisation and its best feature is the terminal, the one thing mac fanboys winge most about when you mention Linux...
