Another month to wait
MobileMe is not free
Apple didn't address those horrible stereo headphones
Nothing to buy or play with...nothing available today.

Thank god I waited... 3G and GPS were the functions I wanted before switching. I feel bad for everyone who dropped 600 dollars on an iPhone thinking they'd get good value selling them used. I think a 2G iPhone is probably going to be worth 80 dollars on craigslist, tops. :(
