MacNotables #734: Adam Engst, Andy Ihnatko and Chuck Joiner Dissect the iPhone Frenzy

We’re only weeks away from the probably release of the iPhone, and the anticipation couldn’t be more frenzied. Adam Engst, Andy Ihnatko and Chuck Joiner discuss some of the more interesting aspects of that frenzy, including the impact of the iPhone on Apple’s spiraling stock price, the biggest challenges faced by Apple’s entry into the phone market, why the iPhone shouldn’t be thought of as a combination of an iPod and a cell phone and Apple’s motivations behind the lead time of the iPhone announcement. The panel also discusses Al Gore’s screen real estate, and Andy proves he is the definitive Mac Geek by purchasing an issue of Playboy.
