Oh oh.. can it join an xgrid using the included wi-fi connection? So many possibilities.

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.
