I clicked on the App Store. Where's the apps??!!

I see one little monkey game, there's Twitter and a little map program for
the new GPS and the hokey keyboard toy.

If you go to the site on an iPhone do you get to see all the new apps
they've been working on for months since SDK 1.0 released? I'm shocked
this is just ONE page with a couple of "apps". Ebay isn't an app...Ebay is
SPAM!

Where are all the apps???

the store is not yet open.

it is expected to open in july, when version 2 firmware is released for
the current iphones (required to buy apps) along with the iphone 3g
(which ships with v2 firmware).

I see they won't be touting battery life as a big draw. They still limit
the phone in choice of audio and video formats. And it still doen't have
true GPS. Average camera at best with no video recording. No card slot.
And no western skiing for the iPhone user (maximum operating altitude
10,000 ft.). Looks like a mediocre feature offering at best.

Also, how can the phone operate in a range of 32 to 95 degrees but not
operate in a range of -4 to 113 degrees? Must be more of the Apple Rocket
Science.

But I'll bet the "user-configurable maximum volume limit" will be a big
selling point. After all, who ever heard of a volume control on a cell
phone?

and the 1.0 iPhone have the excellent WiFi positioning system via
Skyhook, and the 2.0 models have that and true GPS, so if you are
indoors or out, an iPhone will work... not so with most Cell Phone GPS
systems.

apple has the better system, that's for sure... it's just you are
jealous, that's all.

No- they don't use true GPS. It is Assisted GPS, which is inferior to the
real thing. Do your homework- the Apple Assisted GPS is network dependent
on either GSM or wifi.

I sorry, Bob, I disagree. Pick any GPS phone. Click to Menu and bring
up your GPS position. My ROKR Z6m is supposed to have GPS. There is a
GPS position subroutine in the test section you can bring up with the
secret code. It never shows anything. My V6 was the same way.

If the phones' GPS was installed, they'd be using it for a sales gimmick
and Lat/Long would be displayed on the home page to brag about it to you.
