Apple's iPhone

[solg]

Capping literally years of speculation on perhaps the most intensely followed unconfirmed product in Apple's history -- and that's saying a lot -- the iPhone has been announced today. Yeah, we said it: "iPhone," the name the entire free world had all but unanimously christened it from the time it'd been nothing more than a twinkle in Stevie J's eye. Sweet, glorious specs of the 11.6 millimeter device (that's frickin' thin, by the way) include a 3.5-inch 480 x 320 touchscreen display with multi-touch support and a proximity sensor to turn off the screen when it's close to your face, 2 megapixel cam, 4GB or 8 GB of storage, Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR and A2DP, WiFi that automatically engages when in range, and quad-band GSM radio with EDGE. Perhaps most amazingly, though, it somehow runs OS X with support for Widgets, Google Maps, and Safari, and iTunes (of course) with CoverFlow out of the gate. A partnership with Yahoo will allow all iPhone customers to hook up with free push IMAP email. Apple quotes 5 hours of battery life for talk or video, with a full 16 hours in music mode -- no word on standby time yet. The 4GB iPhone will go out the door in the US as a Cingular exclusive for $499 on a two-year contract, 8GB for $599. Ships Stateside in June, Europe in fourth quarter, Asia in 2008.

[LoveMyBoots]

well, first a big DUH but

I hope it gets cheaper though...

 

[SweetFantasy]

I will probably buy it when its out

 

[PrincessImp.]

I think my husband is buying one for me when it's out

 

[smartarse]

what's great about this phone is its touch screen no tiny keys to fumble and the screen is HUGE but i will wait 8 months to a year after it comes out. just to get rid of any glitches of the first 1 billion shipments.

I love the design, ugh I hate my Chocolat LG phone now that I've seen this one. Note, I've only had my LG for 4 days.

 

[poetiquez]

ugh.. what makes me sad is knowing that about 5 months after the phone is released it will be obsolete because apple will have released a newer version.

none the less, it looks amazing. i wonder how many songs it will hold/ if it well get cheaper?
