I don't know.. I could definitely see myself watching the news or something at lunch, or doing something to keep me occupied when I'm early for a meeting or something.

Not likely because most people don't use it to watch long videos, most people don't need heavy bandwidth while walking around and usually screw around with something like that in the office. And really if OKC is not technologically advanced I see no point in complaining that someone hasn't made a technologically advanced phone for the 2 people that might demand one.

Yeah.. I could explain what the holdup on that is, but no one but me cares

The internet companies are very protective of their duopoly. We'll just leave it at that. Muni wifi has been on the table for some time now. I imagine it's going to stay that way.

What intrigues me the most about iPhone is how open the software might be? I'm wanting an easy to use cell phone that I can get to sync with my firm's telephones. Everyone has PDA's, but most still print their schedule off of the docketing software and carry around paper calendars with them. Technology 'round these parts is a hard sale. That has nothing to do with the city and everything to do with the way lawyers are.

speaking of software and 'opening'....and I think that was the youtuble link that just posted a moment a go...there are people who opening these phones to analyze what's under the hood already....wow...I hope they didnt void thier warrenty and if so...it was worth it.

You'd probably watch "the news" in an office with wifi as opposed to walking around the street hoping there's wifi. Plus if you did watch "the news" you'd drain the battery in a second.

Not sure what you mean by open software. The software for other platforms is much more developed if that's what you're looking for...
