Yeah, I saw that. That's pretty embarrassing to both Apple and AT&T. The network is sort of hurting the phone's rep and I can see why Jobs would want it on other networks.
Yeah........500+ wifi stations......not letting stevie out to NYT. Really does mirror the problems people are having in areas where the network is getting hit so frakkin hard, San Fran, NY, etc.......
I loooooooooooved the "Try Verizon" comment......

LOL.......That Steve has to blame the crowd for not turning off wifi.......how embarrassing..........
Steve, just go to Verizon already. Sure, they may be heavy-handed, but they will help you avoid having to chastise the people attending your big events.....

11:36 am "Apple will ship tens of millions of FaceTime devices this year so there's going to be a lot of people to talk to."
And how many of those uses will end up being porn?
All my cynicism about the product aside, I do have to admit that I think it is neat to have a front and rear facing cam so that you can do video chat/calling
You might wanna load the full site and not the mobile next time.
Friggin' jaggaloon. You're real clever arent you
Full site will not load on my device. It always reverts to mobile version even though "mobile view" is disabled in my settings and i'm running webkit browser. I assume the iphone is the same.
