Apple officially announces iPhone

[ware4me]

At MacWord Expo, CEO of Apple Steve Jobs is giving his press announcement to thousands of enthusiastic Macaphiles. One announcement that made everyone stand and cheer is the official announcement of the Apple iPhone.

Details are extremely sketchy right now as they are literally talking about all the details as this report gets edited.

From what we can tell so far, it has a fully integrated "next-gen" touchpad display that requires no stylus and claims to be the most accurate yet, named Multitouch. Additionally, the iPhone appears to run its own version of Mac OS X as the onboard software, giving it a rather robust choice of options in a phone.

Animated desktops and menu screens, launchable applications, music playback, iPod integration, calendar and many more very useful items. There also appears to be integration of iPhoto where you can expand or minimize photos on the screen simply by pinching them in your fingers.

Additionally, Steve Jobs showcased integration with Google maps to give different views of major cities as well as directions. One could surmise that this also gives the iPhone Internet access as seems to be standard fare with cellular phones these days.

Measuring only 11/16" thick and carrying a 3.5" high resolution display screen, the Apple iPhone appears to be right in between the size of a flip phone and a smartphone.

Furthermore, the device has two batteries, one for the phone functions and one that will be used for music playback, so using the audio player wont harm phone's battery life. (Afterdawn)

Is this like an ipod but is also a phone? o_O;

It's more like a cell phone with an ipod

Well i've read a couple of reviews, it lacks some functionalities, but usually this happens with new products.

And I don't even wanna think about the price of it x_x

500 USD... a regular price for a new cell phone like this...

From what i heard it has about 8gbs (not sure if this is the biggest version) so, not as much space as your standard ipod capacity, I wouldn't buy it, i don't need an 500$ phone

And we need a $600 PS3?

8 GB is not enough for me!!! And I think is very expensive to be just a cellphone with 8 gb.

I'm happy with my current cellpone! ^o^

brendasoto I to think 8gbs is not enough for music, atleast 30gbs is fine :3
