Welcome in the "disappointed" side. BTW, completely uninterested? The device itself in one of the coolest thing ever, we can't deny this fact. The software? Other that the iPod and Safari built in, the fact that in not open for development kinda kill it as you pointed out. The device is the obvious pre-mobile OS X platform which is why I'm so hyped for itWhite Man said:

Yeah, completely uninterested in owning one. I'll wait once there's an actual, open mobile OS X platform. This is just a cell phone with a slick interface and the ability to play mp3s, and yes, it's really slick, but I have little interest in paying that much money for what is effectively a closed platform.
And after a few days of thinking, I'm not sure I like the idea of Apple moving so far from computers. They're making some cool little things, but we just had the Superbowl of Apple, and there wasn't anything new unveiled as far as their computers of their OS.

that's teh thing...they did overhype it, but i really don't think they're trying to penetrate the 'PDS' market. It's suppoed to be only a phone with iPod, plus a few otehr features. I think it was a bit misleadign to really put it up agaisnt other PDAs, since the iPhone itself isn't trying to be one.
Chances are, the software they will get running for will include some really handy widgets, like conversion tool and translator from OSX. Those are swanky.
The iPhone was such a big deal for Steve Jobs, I think everything else was swept away for the mean time to let the hype build for the phone. I'm guessing Leopard will have some great stuff, which will be announced shortyl, as well as updates to their computers. Adobe with Photoshop CS3, and Mac Office2008 are coming too.
