This is why Apple is the most badass computer company on this planet. First they gave us the Mac in 1984, then the iPod in 2001, and now the iPhone that will kill all other smartphones on the market today. Steve Jobs is just a pure genius, and the design team over at Apple, nothing short of brilliant. My recently purchased Samsung Blackjack looks ancient next to the prototype pictures of the new iPhone. All other mobile phones have been left in the dust this time.
Apple has signed an exclusive deal with Cingular as the carrier, and the iPhone will be sold at both Apple and Cingular stores. Release date is set for June since FCC approval takes about 2 months.
“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.”
There will be an 8GB model for $599, and a 4GB model for $499. As soon as the Apple Store comes back online, my butt is ordering one. This thing is sure to sell out faster than the damn Sony PS3’s.
All the naysayers back in the 90’s that said Apple sucked… eat your heart out, because Apple is here to stay and they’re going to continue to rock the industry!
Check out Apple’s iPhone site, for more information, and be sure to check out the video tours of the interface!
oh my goooosssh!!! I have to have this phone!!!! :D
Super sexy, however that’s a bit pricey, and Cingular sucks, no?
For what it can do, I don’t think it’s pricey at all!
Check out Apple’s iPhone site, and look through the video tours of the phone. The thing is just simply amazing.
The web browser is revolutionary, and the interface is the slickest thing I’ve ever seen on a mobile phone.
THIS THING IS JUST BOSS! OMFG! I want one soooooo bad!
I think it’s priced just right for all the things it can do!!!
I didn’t think apple would be able to pull off something this sweet, but they did. I should’ve known if anyone would reinvent the phone, it’d be them.
pretty impressive. but i’ll have to see and use one before i think its worth that 600 bucks
i think it’s pretty impressive how they kept the project very secretive. it looks good, but unfortunately, it’s not verizon…
LOL, my phone +50$ = cost of a iphone, darn it, haha, should have gotten this phone, its soo sleek, but i dont see how you can.. call with that, i see it more as a media unit
better start saving now, good thing i didn’t get that ps3…did get a wii though.
damn it!!! i was getting used to my Sony Ericsson p990i aswell!! im going to have to sell my blood…. i mean, who needs bloody anyway!! lol..
It will be mine… oh yes, it will be mine.
I was gonna go to MacWorld, but I woke up this morning with a fever. =(
I want one so bad.
That’s such a niiiiice phone!
I’m waiting for this new iPhone to be listed as the new upcoming fads, hence with their success with the iPod.
This might be the apple product that might actually change my views on Apple..
I-GOT-2-HAV-DAT-KINDA-FON!!! Nice intrface, slik desyn, EZ handling, but it sux becoz ere in OZ we dun hav Cingular Mobile Network. Out of 100 Rating: 96.9/100>>>
i never liked smartphone before, but the iphone have changed my mind
love the touch pad internet style, by Apple, the best design team ever
wow…mz gooooosh (yes, you are right glimmerish)
absoluthly WOW
I just read in the newspaper that the Apple stocks went up as they just announced the iPhone :P
Funny enough I just read a news release that Cisco is sueing Apple because of copyright infringement. The name “iPhone” was assigned first by them to their VoIP device. The two companies were making arrangements, but the issue suddenly dropped and Apple continued to use the name. So Cisco is pissed and claims that even though the two devices are different in nature, Cisco might continue with the development of their iPhone to include cellular service and media capabilities.
Apple, well, thinks they’re all a bunch of silly kids.
I think, if Apple can, they’ll start to make everything and call it the unimaginative i’Something.’ Eh, at least they make good products.
A phone from apple? Looks pretty interesting. The price is pretty cheap for what it can do imo =0
Does someone want to buy my iPod video and p990i??
I don’t need those anymore..
I watched the entire keynote when I heard this from a friend. It’s incredible how Apple can come up with such a design, while all the other manufacturers are still producing those lousy phones. This next-gen cell phone is gonna be mine!
Omfg this phone is teh ownz. I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these
