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.
