I am sure the iPhone will include a USB cable to connect it to your PC. I would imagine a lot of people who purchase an iPhone will not own an iPod too. The cable will probably be the same as the one supplied with current iPods since the iPhone uses the same connector.Will the iPhone be sold with the attachment to upload songs to the iPhone? Because I have an iPod now, and obviously, it was sold with the wire that uploads the songs for iTunes to the iPod, but will they give us a new one? If not can we use the old one?
Speaking of iPods, will they offer some sort of discount to those who already have the iPod? Like a trade-in discount? That would be sensible since I could now use the iPhone as my iPod, and there would be no need for my iPod anymore! Why use two separate items for the same use? Especially when the one item costs $500?![]()
FAST REPLIES! THATS WHAT I LIKEI am sure the iPhone will include a USB cable to connect it to your PC. I would imagine a lot of people who purchase an iPhone will not own an iPod too. The cable will probably be the same as the one supplied with current iPods since the iPhone uses the same connector.
I doubt there will be a discount for current iPod owners. If you don't think you will need your iPod after your get your iPhone, I recommend selling it on eBay. I plan on keeping my Nano for times when I need the extra battery life (like long trips).
I am a Mac user at home, but at work, alas, PC still rules. I wonder of the iPhone willb e able to synce with the palm destop or will Apple provide a version of iCal for windows that would include all of the options: contacts, notes, etc.? Any ideas?I am sure the iPhone will include a USB cable to connect it to your PC. I would imagine a lot of people who purchase an iPhone will not own an iPod too.

Hi and welcome to EI.
The iPhone's operating system is OS X (the same OS found on Macs). Most people consider this to be huge advantage over existing phones since OS X is so feature rich. It also means that the applications released will potentially be much more powerful and easy to use than what is currently available.
This does not mean that it will only work/sync with a Mac. Just like an iPod, the iPhone will be able to work/sync with the Windows version of iTunes.
*shudder* That would take forever..you could always do it manually......![]()
For awhile there were problems running iTunes with Vista. I read that MS released a patch to fix the issues. Since I don't run/trust Vista on any of my PCs I can't tell you for sure. If I were you, I would download the latest version of iTunes. If it runs on your machine, the iPhone should work fine with your setup.I read it will be compatible with Windows xp, but it didn't say Vista. Does anyone know?
