A few of the more interesting/revealing answers are listed here:
- Does the Web browser support Flash or Java? No.
- Can it open Word and Excel documents? No. (Steve Jobs says it can open PDF files, though.)
- Will it sync with Outlook? No.
- Does it connect to standard iPod accessories like car docks and speaker systems? Yes!
- Wont the screen get smudgy? It does, but you dont see it except when the screen is off. The one I played with was pretty streaky, but wiping it on my sleeve cleaned it completely.

I've seen reports that it can handle java and flash.
We need to wait a few months before taking any of this seriously.

too bad its still great though!
That it doesn't do anything but have mobile itunes. I liked apple more as a computer company. They now seemed more concerned with thier DRM'd revenue stream.

I'm starting to think the iPhone is gonna kinda iStink.
Apple is on a roll right now, but let's not act like everything they do is success. Remember that whole "iPod by HP thing"? And the g4 cube?
In fact I'm calling it right now, the iPhone shall suffer the same faith as the g4 cube. Stunning design, but it just won't find success in the market place.
Although I am looking forward to the full screen iPods of the future, after apple learns from it's mistakes on this first touch screen endeavor.
/trolling :p

Who pays $600 for a cell phone besides business users who are going to require Outlook integration? I was excited about this phone now I'm just disappointed. Its even worse that Apple is going to cripple the ability to add 3rd party applications. Now all the shortcomings of the phone can't be addressed by 3rd parties.
At the same time, this is Apple, and Apple makes sure they are as restrictive and proprietary as possible. You can't expect anything different from their cell phones. Plus, you are also dealing with cell phone companies - the biggest rip-off artists of all time.

With steve pushing the itunes integration for mac or windows so hard, i find it difficult to believe that it doesnt support the most popular email package that would be synced with this kind of device.. plus no java/flash? what "complete" browser doesnt have these? i think this story is bs personally
