I watched the Jobs keynote last night, and during the iPhone presentation they brought out the Cingular dude who, when not telling us how great Cingular was, made it very clear that Apple had signed a “multi-year, exclusive contract” with Cingular. Also, given the fact that the visual voicemail stuff that Jobs was impressed with appears to be proprietary to Cingular, I don’t see Sprint being able to offer it any time soon.

I’m also interested in the development particulars of the device. MS has done a decent job of supporting embedded programming in WinCE via their Visual Studio stuff…. but there are still little quirks you have to deal with programmatically. If the Apple stuff is transparent (and even better, if they start pushing out multi-touch for PC devices!! \o/), then this could be very cool.

But, I still can’t get over it…. Cingular? For real?
