It was a late morning in the fall of 2006. Almost a year earlier, Steve Jobs had tasked about 200 of Apple's top engineers with creating the iPhone. Yet here, in Apple's boardroom, it was clear that the prototype was still a disaster. It wasn't just buggy, it flat-out didn't work. The phone dropped calls constantly, the battery stopped charging before it was full, data and applications routinely became corrupted and unusable. The list of problems seemed endless. At the end of the demo, Jobs fixed the dozen or so people in the room with a level stare and said, "We don't have a product yet."

The effect was even more terrifying than one of Jobs' trademark tantrums. When the Apple chief screamed at his staff, it was scary but familiar. This time, his relative calm was unnerving. "It was one of the few times at Apple when I got a chill," says someone who was in the meeting.

I'd be tempted to get one, but as they are only on O2 over in the UK, i won't be getting it.

Let's see how long it is before gPhone-bashing commercials come out. >.<

Apple wouldn't do that.

No, not at all...

*Finds a few hundred commercials bashing PC's on Youtube*

If Apple knows they've got competition, and are losing; they revert to cheap-shot, degrading tricks.

They won't attack a free phone, Plus, they never attack companies directly. That is like, slander.
