I love Apple products.. but this is really a castrated PDA.

The real killer for me is that its not open for developers. Theyre trying to tell me its really a mobile computer, but wont allow developers to write 3rd part applications. They will license certain partners, I'm sure, to develop applications but Apple will have full control of distribution through iTunes.. meaning they get a cut of every app approved and sold. This also allows them to prevent things like VOIP, and Instant messaging.

Its cool and all, but unless they open the platform I dont think I'll be buying one. Hopefully other phone manufacturers take notes on how to actually make a usable phone though..
