I happened to have been in Palo Alto (Silicon Valley, home of Steve Jobs) California for shabbos, and I saw the line of people waiting outside an AT&T store for this toy.
I'm disgusted, to be honest.
One thing to add to your list:
Its misadvertised as a "smart phone", when the definition requires an Operating System that supports 3rd party software. The iphone has many features, but it is NOT a smartphone by the definition of the term.

I've read some reviews of first impressions now that its out, and it seems that its a great next generation ipod video, but falls short of being a good phone.
Voice calls were poor, internet was slow as mollases, and ITS MISSING FEATURES NORMAL PHONES HAVE!
For example, you'd think an mp3 player phone would support stereo bluetooth (A2DP profile) or, heck, mp3 ringtones? Nope... you can't have an mp3 ringtone on the iphone? Are you kidding me?!
That's what people said... incredible for a device that costs as much as cheap laptop...

Mendel, I dont doubt that they will improve upon the iPhone in future generations, its just that this gen. iPhone is severely overhyped.

Walt Mossberg from the WSJ loved it. Thats good enough for me. People were saying the same thing regarding the ipod when it first came. It was overpriced and wasnt very much different from the other mp3 players that had already hit the market. I dont think they could have been more wrong. The iphone is the first phone from Apple and you can expect that they will follow the same pattern that they did with the ipod. Introduce one, hype it, sell it and then introduce a cheaper one and a then another and then another etc… This will be a multi billion dollar product for Apple.
Regarding shorting Apple stock, I believe that to be a very foolish endeavor. Next gen. ipods and imacs are due in the latter half of this year along with the official leopard launch. Just look at Apple’s market share gains over the last few years, every 1% market share Apple steals from someone else, its a billion dollars in revenue.
If you really want to bet against Steve Jobs, a better idea would be to sell some calls or buy some puts.

First comes the iPhone.

You missed an important point:

This phone supports no third party applications.

My bet is the ignorant masses will buy it anyway, as a phone is a fashion accessory, and this is (arguably) the best looking phone ever.

I agree with you…the iPhone is more hype than what it can deliver

I’d love to make phone calls with sticky fingers while eat, on a touch screen.

I’ll bet at&t insisted on the slow data. They’ll have many people using unlimited, and with the slow speed, they won’t be serving to much data at once, and they won’t overload their backbone internet connection. This is nothing more than at&t not want to upgrade their equipment!
