Initial reaction
I couldn’t believe it! Have I finally figured out a way to stop the bedroom door from slamming closed?
I could potentially have one of the coolest and most expensive doorstops in the world!
And then the reality set in
Personally, even though it’s only $199, I simply cannot justify dumping my perfect 1st generation iPhone.
Third generation…
… is going to be a huge hit and a big upgrade. Until then, I’m perfectly happy.
John Gruber said it best:
Today’s message is pretty simple: Apple is going for iPhone market share in a big, big, way.
No front-facing camera. No video from the rear camera. Instead of building a better $400 iPhone, they worked on halving the price of last year’s phone.
’nuff said

I completely agree (bar the doorstop… not cool)!
I only got my iPhone in February, so it's the 16Gb model anyway. I don't think that 3G and GPS is enough of a justification for me to upgrade just yet.
Here's holding out hope for the 3rd gen!
