An iPhone shuffle would be great fun. Just one button that dials a random number each time you press it :)

So.. basically this is some bloke saying "new product will have revised version at some point in the future"?

I wonder how much he gets paid, and whether I can have his job.

I await the Iphone shuffle, with just one button it will randomly dial any of your contacts. Great for people who want to talk at other people and not really listen for any responses.

Of course there will be cheaper models. Just like there will be a 3G model. The question is when. Apple can't afford to piss off early adopters, so the cheaper models will have to have some features cut. But it's those features that make the iPhone what it is.

About a month ago, Cingular/AT&T sent me an email saying that they had iPhones reserved for my wife and I and all we had to do was come in and tell them we want one. OTOH, our contract ran out in December, so they probably want us on a new one, which now requires the purchase of a media package. But I don't think I'll pay $500 for a phone when I can get all I need for $50. Or a WM phone for $100.

He successfully predicted... that a CELL PHONE... would be delayed by the FCC's regulatory apparatus?

Somewhat akin to successfully predicting that the iPhone would be able to make telephone calls. Because if it is able to make telephone calls, it will be delayed by the FCC approval process.

Shaw Wu is an analyst for pete's sake. He claws together rumors for investors. None of his "predictions" were prophetic in any way. He merely states the obvious / summarizes the latest rumors, that's all. I am amazed he gets so much attention. Any fanboy can do what he does and get to the same level of "being right". Plus it is not that Wu was "right" on much, or anything spectacular anyhow.

everyone is always bashing the iPhone cause of its irreplaceable battery but i know that www.ipodjuice.com is working on an iphone battery that lasts longer than the stock battery apple gives you. They already have kits for the ipods and now iphones so it's juice for me all the way!

I'd check the warranty first..
