I wanted just a little more...

I watched three different mac sites refreshing my browser every minute or two so that I could participate in the developers conference myself.  By the way I thought the feed from Engadgit was the best.  I kept waiting for the "wow."  I was captivated by what could be, only to be left wanting a little more.  Where was the video conferencing?  Where was the MMS?  What about a simple stupid "to do" list that works with ical?!!  Sure there is the GPS (a novelty at best), and the G3 speed boost (just use the wi-fi).  I still cannot copy and paste.  I cannot send pictures via instant message.  Nice that they could drop the price to $199.00, but ATT will eat up that with an extra $10.00 a month for their data plan.  I did like the renovation of .mac to push email, ical and contacts, though goz@me.com seems a little narcissistic.  I will wait and enjoy my vintage $600.00 iPhone and put my hope in the creativity of the 3rd party world in hopes that they might solve some of Apple's simple oversights.

Other drawbacks:
•No at home activation! You have to go to AT&T??? What?
•No free software upgrades anymore??? Have to pay like Touch

But at least you get a free a sim ejector! (paper clip)
