You've had all weekend to play with your new iPhone. Does it live up to the hype? We take your calls, and talk with New York Times tech guru David Pogue and New York Magazine's John Heilemann, about whether Steve Jobs has indeed done it again.
I don't care about the iPhone. If I could get and receive calls on a can with a string attached to it, I would. Besides, my mp3 player has a touchscreen interface, so this technology is not new to me.
FYI: The News Hour with Jim Lehrer did a great piece on the "isolation factor" created by iPods, entitled the "iPod People", which is archived on their website. The segment details how iPods limit social interactions.

I would love to get an iPhone but do not want to switch wireless carriers - I am with Verizon right now. Do I have any options? Thanks, Caroline
