After Jobs's keynote yesterday I was really disappointed. First by what he had to show and second by the fact that the iPhone won't have a SDK which will allow for third party developers. that basically means what you see is what you get - nothing new to play with or change as time goes on.

As a result their stock fell about 4 bucks. Which gives you an idea already that the bubble of hype that has been created around this thing is beginning to slowly burst. People are beginning to realize that this is not a revolution by any means. If anything it's just a new way of presenting existng technology and because it's Apple people are getting excited. Don't get me wrong it's a great product but at the end of the day Apple is in the PC business not the phone business.

I for one can't justify in any way shape or form spending 600 bucks for this thing and add a data plan and you're looking at something pretty damn close to $1K - no phone is worth that much especially this one.

BTW here is a great article everyone should check out:
