@StevieRayHalen: the rest of the world...who continues to buy their bootleg and cheap shit.

@Josso: Woz would be strictly for marketing and "figure head" purposes. If he were CEO, I'm sure he wouldn't actually do much.

Live with Ryan and Kelly! ugh.

@iseshan: I think he has love for the company. He would help make sure Apple doesn't become another Sony.

One word: Woz.

@evilsushi: they can use a bushel of hotdogs. Sexy hotdogs.

@Steezy McFresh: lol, as if the iPad needs a new trick to make it seem cool.

I'm pretty sure you can hide the task bar by touching anywhere on the screen...why would i need a multitouch gesture?

@jordan314: i always thought the ipod control bar should be the first task bar screen you see when playing music...it makes no sense to swipe to the left, especially when listening to music.

@TimeMuffin: On a call? And how often do people do that away from a wifi hotspot?

@ru486: again, dude, that stuff can wait until the call is over. Or just walk by a Starbucks or McDonalds...there are thousands of them in NYC.

@decaye: you can be at any one of the millions of free wifi hotspot locations out there.

People, if you are connected to WiFi, you will be able to talk and surf at the same time.

@sambone: if you are on a WIFI network, talking and surfing wont be a problem.

@Michael Scrip: And none of those customers were waiting for the Verizon iPhone. Imagine their heartbreak when their new shiny iPhone "featuring Bing" (I'm sure) is updated in 5 months.

@ddjeffries: I'm pretty sure Apple wants all major US carriers to have the iPhone. Verizon might have a brief "exclusivity" until June when the iPhone 5 is announced by Apple.

So this is how Verizon is going to get a bunch of people to buy a phone that will be updated in June?

it's completely stupid of Apple to ban you from this particular event...the cat is totally out of the bag now.

@WoodyHD: did you even read the article?

What a disaster.
