Apple Announces the iPhone!!
After years of speculation, Apple finally announces the iPhone, or Apple iPod phone to be more exact.
“iPhone combines three products — a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls, and a breakthrough Internet communications device with desktop-class email, web browsing, maps, and searching — into one small and lightweight handheld device. iPhone also introduces an entirely new user interface based on a large multi-touch display and pioneering new software, letting you control everything with just your fingers. So it ushers in an era of software power and sophistication never before seen in a mobile device, completely redefining what you can do on a mobile phone. ”
Here’s a list of specifications: runs OSX, a 3.5 inch touch screen, a 2 megapixel camera, 11.16 mm thin, Bluetooth with EDR and A2DP, WiFI, quadband GSM radio, 16 hours of battery life for audio, 5 hours for video, Safari, Google Maps, EDGE, HTML email, web browsing, and available in 4 GB or 8 GB models. The iPhone also has support for three way conference calls, an i-Chat like service, Widget support, and photo management software. The iPhone is a bit pricey– it costs $499 for the 4 GB model, or $599 for the 8 GB model (with 2 year Cingular contracts). The Apple iPhone will be available in the US in June 2007, Europe in the fourth quarter of 2007, and Asia in 2008.
All hail the iPhone!! I’m buying one of these as soon as I can! Well, my only worry s that the screen will scratch horrendously like those first generation ipod nanos–oh no! Here’s the official product page. Images via Engadget.

Wow, it’s really sleek!
Still need to wait until June??? I cannot wait…
I’m interested to know how many ICs are in the chassis. Bluetooth, WiLAN, Cell phone, memory, video processor, etc…

iPhone is a great new communication device, but it does take some learning to operate it.
