I would rather just see comments from users I like reading first. Not necessarily that I agree with, just that I think make good points, are funny, or whatever. That's what I'm trying to do at commentous.com

"Likewise, I very much doubt that a gamer is getting an iphone just so that they can play all of the latest iphone games."

I think it's much more about creating a new market that didn't exist before, kind of like the WII did, but larger: My wife goes out on the porch every night these days and has one smoke or a glass of something while playing iPhone games for an hour.

She doesn't play any other games on the Wii or her computer. In fact she's never played any games at all.

Amen to that. You hit it right on the nail and previous posts are missing the point:

1) Hook it up
2) View your iTunes content in your living room.

Simple, which means it actually works for the 99% of consumers that are not geeks and don't even know what /. is.

It also brings about a whole new way of consuming content (like iPod did): Soon the value proposition for consumers will be "why pay $90/month for cable when I can just subscribe to the entire seasons of the 3 shows I watch for that much?"

This is not just a great product, it is much more important than iPhone, and has a great chance of cementing Apple's media dominance quickly ( 2 years).
