It's iPhone day here on Future Tense. We talk with CNET News.com's Tom Krazit about the most significant new features of the highly anticipated second generation gadget, as well as it's continued shortcomings (Still no cutting and pasting of text? What's the deal?) And we discuss who should submit to Apple by purchasing the thing. Luckily Future Tense doesn't have to make that decision: It still has 13 months left to go on its T-Mobile Blackberry contract.

By the way, the trinity of top tech reviewers have now published reviews of the new iPhone. Ed Baig writes, "It's cheaper, faster and a lot friendlier for business ... With GPS newly added to the mix, this handheld marvel has no equal among consumer-oriented smartphones."

David Pogue thinks it's a nice upgrade, but says it's far from perfect: "Unfortunately, most of the standard cellphone features that were missing from the first iPhone are still missing. There's still no voice dialing, video recording, copy-and-paste, memory-card slot, Bluetooth stereo audio or phone-to-phone photo sending (MMS). And when the battery needs replacement after a couple of years, you'll still have to pay Apple $86 for a replacement."

Furthermore, Walt Mossberg complains about the cost: "Apple's exclusive carrier in the U.S., AT&T Inc., has effectively negated the iPhone's up-front price cut by jacking up its monthly fee for unlimited data use by $10."
