Is anyone else pissed off that there exists a severe lack of information 18 days from the big launch? I know that Apple is always historically very secretive about their products, right up to launch day but a launch this important to them and the fact that it involves AT&T, I would think they would be slightly more forthcoming with information.
Instead all we know is that there is an iPhone, most of its features, how it looks like, how much it costs with a 2 year AT&T contract and it will be launched on 6/29 at 6PM.
I was hoping that Jobs would clear some confusion up today. Instead, we learned it will start shipping on 6/29 at 6PM and you can develop against the iPhone via Safari. So does this start shipping statement mean online orders will ship 6PM or the Apple Stores will start selling them at 6PM? What does that mean? And developing against the iPhone throught a web application? Are you joking? Instead of clearing up the mass confusion, Jobs added to it.
I still have no clue how activations will work, how current AT&T customers can purchase the iPhone, if I am even eligible to purchase an iPhone. Many are still wondering if there is a required data plan and how much that data plan would cost. Some are still wondering if you can buy the iPhone without a contract. Sadly I have a strong feeling that we won't know until 6/29.
Now I'm left asking myself if I should even brother waiting in line for several hours and possibly leave empty-handed. All this for phone, albeit a very, very nice phone. This is becoming a huge headache.
