> According to Verizon, Apple CEO Steve Jobs insisted that he have hard control over iPhone distribution. seems like the same problem plaguing their computers aswell ---

I don’t want one, but then again, I’m one of the few remaining people on earth not to have an iPod. Face it, a ton of people have an iPod of some variety, and even more people have cell phones. Combine the two into one device, make it work seamlessly, and it could be a HUGE seller. I know if I carried both most of the time like the majority of iPod users I know, I’d be happier only having to carry one. ---

I know if I carried both most of the time like the majority of iPod users I know, I’d be happier only having to carry one. I still think as far as integration goes, they have to make the battery able to last 2x as long since it’s a combo device now.
