So the iPhone comes out on June 29. This is all well and good, and I’ll be curious to see who will be the first person I know to get one. (Potentially me, due to my love of all things tech, but thus far I have remained immune to the iPhone’s charms.) But here’s my stupid question — what cell phone service does it work with? I’ve done a cursory look through the webpage and I can’t find the answer to that simple question. What service is going to offer the iPhone? I remember hearing rumors that it was Cingular (which I guess is now AT&T). But I can’t find any confirmation. It seems like that’s a key detail that is missing…
Today I get to start in the “How To Fly The Space Shuttle” training flow. It’s the training flow that all pilot astronauts take, and as a future Rendezvous GPO, I get to take it as well so that I understand both how the vehicle flies and what the astronauts are doing when they’re flying it. When I’m done with the training, I’ll be certified to fly the space shuttle, just like any other pilot astronaut. So if, you know, they ever need me…I’ll be ready!
It’s Cingular:

As all the Apple pundits say… what is the one thing that can ruin the iPhone… Cingular/AT&T. 🙂
If you get one, you must let me hold it. No one in my circle will get one and I can’t afford it. Plus I just don’t use the features that much to justify buying one. But I’d still like to hold one.
Sarah- I’m thinking of getting one, but I might wait for the second generation so the inevitable “bugs” get worked out. we’ll see. It’s been carried by At&t formerly cingular.
AT&T/Cingular have the exclusive on it for a few years (2 I think).
As for then phone itself, meh, I’ll keep my Smartphone 🙂 The iPhone is pretty but looking at features it just doesn’t compare, for my purposes. I’d be happy to play with it if you get it 🙂
That is SOOOOOO cool about being a shuttle pilot!!!
I’m just catching up on blogs tonight. My husband swears he knows me well enough to know I’m getting one of those the day they come out. I’m not sold on them just yet though (he has a Blackjack).
