This is the reception I want the next time I ship a product.
Nice round-up on the iPhone here.
David Pogue is funny here.
Padmasree Warrior, Motorola's CTO, responds to the iPhone in a non-snarky, balanced way. Very classy for a competitor. She also models how a senior executive can communicate with her customers.

The only problem is that CISCO inc owns the tradename IPHONE
Cisco Systems Inc. and Apple Inc. may spend millions of dollars in a high-stakes legal battle — and the winner could walk away with the rights to the coveted name "iPhone".
Last spring, Cisco began selling a line of bulky but inexpensive iPhones that make free long-distance calls over the Internet, a technology known as Voice-over Internet Protocol. Amazon.com sells them for as little as $12, though they require extra software and hardware and are usually sold in kits that start around $70 and can cost $200 or more.
Apple's iPhone is a sleek cellular gadget that delivers e-mail, Web sites, music and movies over the Cingular Wireless network.
I can't find the link, but I saw something that implied:
a) There are other users of iPhone in the VOIP space.
b) Apple owns the iPhone trademark outside the U.S.
Regardless, worst case (and I'm not sure how bad it would be) they can sell the ApplePhone, making the same transition they did with what was announced as 'iTV' but became AppleTV.
