The iPhone is beyootiful, but I think you hit the nail on the head  
with "possibilities".

I travel a lot (I'm writing this during a lunch break in Louisville)  
and I'm down to a phone (LG Fusic with Sprint) and my MacBook. The  
phone makes calls and handles some data (address book, calendar) and  
plays music (1GB MicroSD card support) but everything else handled by  
the MacBook. In fact, the only time I'm away from easy access to a  
computer/media player is when I'm on the road, and I always have my  
MacBook at those times, so why would I want to watch videos, etc. on  
a smaller screen?

But the iPhone runs OSX, and when the hackers get their hands on it,  
it will become great. I am certain some amazing applications I am not  
smart enough to think of will be written that will blow me away. The  
potential is staggering.

As someone who bought a second gen iPod (the last without the  
ubiquitous dock) I'll wait a year or two before getting an iPhone,  
and will seriously consider it when my contract expires. But for the  
moment I can wait.
