Official Description
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.

First impressions: bad move - people dont want their music interrupted with a phone call!

And the price is too high for now. I'm stuck with this old ipod 5G still, then.

It's not an ipod mate - it's a multimedia pda device.

Price is not high - actually it's great - the same price for ipod (high spec).

iPhone is a widescreen iPod with touch controls that lets you enjoy all your content — including music, audiobooks, videos, TV shows, and movies — on a beautiful 3.5-inch widescreen display. It also lets you sync your content from the iTunes library on your PC or Mac. And then you can access it all with just the touch of a finger.

I've tried all the smartphones [and] every time I am just so disgusted with using them. It's not the enjoyable experience that my laptop is. It's largely just [things like] email looking right, the web looking right, simple human things."

Wozniak said he agreed with Jobs' description of this announcement as a revolution.

"I think this product will do as much for the phone of the future as the iPod has for the music device of now," he said.

From BBC interview with apple co founder...

Revolutionising the smartphone its an internet communicator, phone and ipod in one.

"this product will do as much for the phone of the future as the iPod has for the music device of now"


Ok, it wasn't a surprise but still a bit of a dream come true! I will be releaved to dump my o2 xda IIs Windows 2003 pc that has crashed many a time, hard reset and has alot less functionality... and is virtually useless with a 128mb card!
